American Truck Idyll

Baseball, apple pie, and Vans - three symbols of hearts down-home America. Americans tend to like all things American and the pickup is no exception. The first pickup " truck " debuted, thanks to Henry Ford in 1925 Although a little long for today's marketing standards, Ford described as a "Ford Model T Runabout with Pickup Body." It was surprisingly similar to the current sensor with a large cargo box adjustable tailgate, and a heavy duty spring in the rear.

Throughout the short history of the United States, the truck gained popularity and continues to grow. Three years later, Ford replaced the Model T to the Model A - it was the first enclosed cabin pick-up and includes new features such as roll-up side windows and windshield safety glass. Able big 40 horsepower (impressive at the time), the Model A four-cylinder engine wear and three-speed transmission.

In 1931, Chevrolet came and offered the first pickup model in an effort to compete with Ford. But Ford is not going nowhere. They responded the next year with the release of a more powerful truck with 65 horses and a flathead Ford V8, a strategy that proved profitable to say the least. In 1936 there were three million Ford trucks on the road and the truck leading the industry in sales.

When they reached the Great Depression, farmers should decrease and not being able to buy a truck for their farms and cars for their families. Therefore, the need for a van and designers ready body born in Australia Ford Australia design "coupe utility" - a precursor to full cab pickup today with marrying front of the body in the back of the collector. 

The result was a worldwide success and, because they are designed to work, American banks did not hesitate to loan farmers money to buy it. Sales skyrocketed and the modern pickup is a staple of American growth.

While pills are common throughout the country, Texas has become very fond of them. Calling them "rancheros" because of its importance to the horse ranch in Texas, the state is sometimes called the "land of the truck." And rightly so. State of Texas did a cover recording of lower taxes as has happened in other vehicles.

Interpreted as a symbol of the ultra-rugged and rugged masculine of American men, the truck began to make appearances in Hollywood movies like Clint Eastwood's favorite vehicle in the "Diehard" hard neo-western, and John Travolta in "Cowboy Town." And as a symbol of America appears , the policy is right behind, ready to exploit. 

In a campaign speech, presidential candidate Fred Thompson hopes even describe his mistake, saying, "You have not spent enough time in a pickup truck," indicating that his opponent had a problem with respect to the "real" America. Even President George W. Bush - Texas proud - seen driving his ranch in a pickup.

The trucks are no less popular today. Cars believe that car sales in the United States are less stable, have their own trucks. Even companies like Isuzu now only offers a collection of high performance (two models - the i-290 and I-370) and one SUV model. Although people tend to love their land and its flashy sports cars, vans still stands as one of America's best-selling vehicle. And we assume, apple pie is not going to work.
