Ford F-Series: Information From Answers.com
The F-Series is a series of full-size pickup trucks from Ford Motor Company sold for over 5 decades. The most popular variant of the F-Series is the F-150. It has been the best-selling vehicle in the world for 23 years and the best-selling truck in the United States (and possibly the world) for 28 years. The first F-series truck from Ford was introduced in 1948, replacing the company's previous car-based pickup line. It was a modern-looking truck with a one-piece windshield and integrated headlights. The next major redesign came in 1980. The new truck had a squarer look, with sharp lines and flat panels. The Ranger trim line was dropped in 1982, since that name was to be applied to the new Ford Ranger compact pickup. Trim options were now XL, XLT, and XLT Lariat. The big-block V8 was dropped for 1980, but added again in 1983 along with a Diesel option.

1979 Ford F150 Ranger review
It's a 1979 Ford F-150 Supercab 4x4. The body was a little rough in isolated spots, but the frame and floor are very solid. This is pretty good for a 26 year old truck that was always used as a work vehicle. It runs on propane and is very very quiet. It runs pretty much perfectly with 288000 kms. It has very low 4:11 gears so it eats up gas on the highway, but the truck has a lot of torque and is very impressive in the hauling and towing department.

Crash Testing: MINI Cooper vs Ford F150
Update 2: Ford has redesigned the F150 for 2004 with an notable advances with regards to safety. In fact the IIHS had named the new F150 a "Best Pick" in the large truck category. Now granted this doesn't change the fact that Ford designed and released the previous generation of F150s knowing there were safety concerns. Further it doesn't change any of the statistics showing larger vehicles cause more havoc on the roads. First of all, that model f150 was designed over ten years ago, where as the mini first surfaced about 2 years ago. There has been alot of safety improvements since then. Also, that Mini probably cost as much as that F150 did. Ford could engineer and build an F150 to be as safe as the Mini, but it would probably cost 50k. Would you buy it then? Granted, the F150 numbers are high, but you might want to consider that the statistics compiled there are probably misleading. The "other deaths" for the F150 is really high. Is that because the vehicle is unsafe, or because foolish people are riding around in the back of the trucks and being thrown from them in collisions? After all, there's only one other pickup in the list, and it's an around town vanity pickup that probably rarely carries anything but its driver.
