Used Ford F-150 for Sale near Pedro, OH

Ford aims to maintain its hold on bestselling truck status by making only minor changes to the 1979 F-150.

Americans do love pickups and, based on last year’s sales figures, their favorite is Ford. Chevrolet, GMC, and Dodge offer strong competitors, but it was the 1978 F-Series that earned the title of best-selling truck.

Ford offers the F-Series in several grades ranging from the F-100 to the heavy-duty F-350, but we’re focusing on the most popular version—the F-150. For 1979, the truck carries over largely unchanged, though eagle-eyed observers will notice that square headlights are now standard across the lineup. Trim levels include the Custom, Ranger, Ranger XLT, and the Ranger Lariat, all available with a selection of six- and eight-cylinder engines, a rear-wheel drive (RWD) or four-wheel-drive (4WD) drivetrain, Regular Cab or SuperCab body styles, and a choice of cargo beds.

Shoppers particularly fond of the current generation F-150 may want to visit a dealership sooner than later, as a completely redesigned truck is set to debut for the 1980 model year.
