- NEW!
The 1965 Ford F-100 Series pickup truck is part of the fourth generation F-Series trucks manufactured between 1961 and 1966. The truck featured a new suspension system and responded to owners' recreational needs with a camper package. The 1965 F-100s were wider, sturdier, completely redesigned and featured unibody construction over the previous generation trucks, according to media.ford.com. Ford sought to give the 1965 F-100 a passenger-car feel with its new twin I-beam front suspension system, according to media.ford.com. A survey found that 2/3 of pickup truck owners used their vehicles for recreation, prompting Ford to beef up the truck's suspension and cargo box to handle a new camper special package as an option. The Ranger trim option became available in 1965, which evolved in 1982 as the popular compact pickup truck. For the first time ever in 1965, Ford produced a four-door crew cab to seat up to six people in its F-250 and F-350 models, according to fordforums.com. Ford in 1965 abandoned the underpowered 223-cubic-inch straight-6 and 292-cubic-inch V8 for the 240 and 300 straight-6s and the 208-horsepower 352 V8.Improvements
