when was pickup truck invented
That is a far cry from what was available back when the first Ford pickups hit the streets back in the mid 1920s. Back then they came in one color, one model, and without much equipment. The date was April 25, 1925 and on that date the Ford Motor Company introduced their first factory produced pickup truck. This new model was officially called the Ford Model T Runabout with Pickup Body. And Ford priced this new truck at $281.00 F.O.B. Detroit.
