My pop had 69 Ranchero we hauled snowmobiles on the bed that he built a wood carrier, and pulled a trailer with two sleds also. 2 on the truck and 2 on the trailer. Thank god for the 390 CU auto trans . He bought it in Denver after a special order. Great truck !
I remember so many of these from "Hockey Night in Canada. Brought to you by Ford." I aways thought the early 70s Fords were the best looking pickups ever.
5th Gen body style was revolutionary, IMO. The addition of trim levels, suspension parts interchangeable, and overall increased dimensions compared to 4th gen. My 12th gen just turned 13. Lol
We had the '71 Ford F250 Custom Pickup. He had to do some modifications on it to make it handle our camper. By the time he was done, it was better than Ford's own Camper Special package. They boasted that the camper special could handle slide-in campers as big as 11 feet. Ours was 12 1/2 feet.
I bought a new 72 F -150. It was a beautiful truck 302 ci auto air red & white . I had it around 2 months and the trans with out got it back and it went through 3 quart's of oil between changes. Out of the 75 trucks on the lot I got the lemon of ford trucks.
Had a'72 F-100 Explorer in high school, grabber blue, 302, 3 on the tree, posi rear end, perfect rust free truck...was too young and dumb to realize exactly what I had then...been trying to locate it ever since......
Now those are what you call pick up trucks. You’re not try to be cool in it. You just use it fast forward to now and it’s a bunch of guys trying to be macho.
That second one though😂 And tell mom I’ll be home in a little while son🔥✨. Nice twist
I remember seeing every one of those commercials in 1972! I was driving a 1969 Roadrunner and 1961 Ford Ecnoline pickup with the snub nose.
I am still driving my Dads 1968 F100. Great truck.

2:05 even the old grandmas could drive back then! 😂
Those were some fun ads!! 😊
1972 was the last year for those fifth generation Ford F-series pickups & same with the medium duty models with that same cab design.

My dad had a '72 Ford F250 Explorer pickup. It didn't ride like a car, especially not like an LTD.

I still drive a 1969, and a 1970 camper special...nice.
But, I like the 1950 F4!

Remember when trucks weren't cars?

I hundred 1972 Ford pickup truck years ago in fact it was the very first pickup truck I ever bought. I was probably 18 or 19 years old.
Did anyone else notice some of the voice-overs were done by Dick Tufeld? (robot voice on Lost in Space)
Them we're great pickups
when trucks were way more affordable
They subtly advertised hauling moonshine. I miss the days when everyone wasn't so damn sensitive and enjoyed a obscure joke.

Font choice - looks like 1912. Going for F, not Model T, yeah?
Why were those cops wearing helmets when they were in a squad car brah?
back when they made real trucks
Those are test driver demonstrations. Please don't try this at home.
I said 2:30 dikhed :P
Who is that actor, can’t place him
Found out the cowboy dad is Med Flory
I just went to my Ford dealer to look at all the bare pavement.
Well...they WERE BETTER than "rust bucket" Chevys!
