1971 Ford F-100 Pickup Is Today's Pick on Bring a Trailer
The fifth-generation F-series ran from the 1967 to 1972 model years. This was from the era when the F-series was a real working pickup, long before it became America's favorite means of personal transport. This truck is nicely presented, looking just as it did back in the day. By the end of the 1970s, the Ford F-Series was the best-selling truck in America. A couple of years later, it was the best-selling vehicle, a title it has retained for more than four decades. But lets wind the clock back to the beginning of the 1970s, when the F-Series was just a truck, but a charming one. Bring a Trailer This 1971 F-100 Sport Custom is up for sale on Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos). It's so square-jawed handsome it could take over the lead role on Yellowstone now that Kevin Costner has bowed out. It's a time capsule in a cowboy hat, what with it's Boxwood Green over Seafoam Green two-tone paint and its steel wheels with hub caps. (Extra points to the seller for resisting the urge to go the restomod route with a lift kit and oversized wheels and tires.) This good ol' Ford was sold new in Oregon City in (you guessed it) Oregon. Situated just south of Portland, Oregon City marks the end of the Oregon Trail, and is filled with folks whose ancestors successfully dodged dysentery and took up forestry and farming. Bring a Trailer A '71 F-100 would have been a lot nicer ride down the Oregon Trail than a Conestoga wagon (lack of gas stations notwithstanding) but it's a pretty basic truck by modern standards. The Sport Custom was a mid-tier grade, with a rubber floor covering and a simple bench seat. This example's luxuries are limited to a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and an aftermarket cassette player. You're gonna want to get some Conway Twitty tapes for that. Bring a Trailer Under the hood is a 360-cubic-inch V-8, and much recent mechanical servicing has been done, including replacing the water pump, the fuel pump, drive belts, the battery, and some gaskets. Elsewhere in the truck, the shocks have been replaced, and the braking system gone through with new parts. It should drive as honest as it looks. At 54 years old, this F-100 has earned a quiet retirement, but there is a spray-in bedliner, so it could earn its keep around the house hauling mulch or supplies for weekend DIY projects. The auction ends on June 6. Brendan McAleer Contributing Editor Brendan McAleer is a freelance writer and photographer based in North Vancouver, B.C., Canada. He grew up splitting his knuckles on British automobiles, came of age in the golden era of Japanese sport-compact performance, and began writing about cars and people in 2008. His particular interest is the intersection between humanity and machinery, whether it is the racing career of Walter Cronkite or Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki's half-century obsession with the Citroën 2CV. He has taught both of his young daughters how to shift a manual transmission and is grateful for the excuse they provide to be perpetually buying Hot Wheels. Read full bio

The reasons why we don't buy American cars
As Donald Trump announces a 25 per cent levy on vehicles not produced in the US, there's a chance that the move could come back to bite him, with a new survey revealing that 59 per cent of motorists are less likely to buy a car from a country imposing tariffs on UK-made models. Trump had previously been moaning about the UK and EU not buying cars from US manufacturers such as Ford, Chrysler and General Motors. He said earlier this month: 'We're not allowed to sell cars there. We sell no cars to Europe... the European Union is very nasty.' Although US-brand cars made up a tiny fraction of the new models sold here last year, there are some good reasons for that low figure that Trump should perhaps understand – not least that a lot of US-made cars won't meet the EU's more stringent safety legislation. In the UK last year, we bought 1,992,578 new cars. Of those, fewer than 3 per cent were from US firms Tesla, Jeep and Chevrolet (although Jeep is owned by European conglomerate Stellantis). Of those, Tesla is the biggest seller, registering 2.6 per cent of UK new car sales. While Audi and BMW each shifted more than twice as many motors to British customers as Tesla, the American brand's Model Y was our fifth-best seller of 2024. Jonathan Saul, an assistant professor in automotive engineering at the University of Warwick, says: 'In terms of US brands breaking into Europe, Tesla is very much an anomaly. 'It has developed the brand and become successful by being unique in the way it makes cars and its customer experience, from selling to charging. If any other US brand was to come to Europe, Tesla is one way to succeed.' Tesla is helped by having a range of UK-appropriate cars, whereas the traditional American manufacturers struggle here. The US best-seller last year was Ford's F series. These pick-up trucks range in size from 5.3m long (17ft) – that's 30cm (11¾in) longer than a Range Rover – to a titanic 6.1m. Engines range from 2.7 to 5.0 litres. None of them holds back when it comes to guzzling fuel. The UK's best-selling car, meanwhile, was the far more appropriate Puma from Ford of Europe. Aside from the blue oval badges on the bonnet, it has little in common with the F Series. America's second-best-selling US-built car was the Chevrolet Silverado, another pick-up leviathan. Its dimensions dwarf the Kia Sportage, the UK's second-best seller, while it consumes about twice the fuel of the Korean SUV. No wonder Trump wants to drill, baby, drill. Of the top 10 best-selling models in the US, five are monster pick-up trucks wholly unsuited to our roads. And even for smaller pick-ups, UK sales are a fraction of those in the US. Our most popular, Isuzu's D-Max, sold a measly 0.2 per cent of the 732,139 F Series models that Ford shifted stateside. Of the top 25 best sellers in the US, only nine are from American brands. Those that aren't pick-ups are SUVs. The Jeep Grand Cherokee in sixth spot is followed by the Equinox and Trax models from Chevrolet, and then Ford's Explorer. Jeep's Grand Cherokee does sell in the UK, but in tiny numbers. That's probably due in part to its £72,304 starting price, as well as competition from the better on-road BMW X5 and better off-road Land Rover Defender. Chevy's Equinox is a rival to the Kia Sportage and Toyota Rav4 that is not sold here. But even in the Equinox's home market, the Rav4 outsells it by more than two to one. The Trax is the Equinox's little brother, so a rival to our fourth-best seller, the Nissan Juke. The Trax is significantly cheaper than the Juke: prices start at £16,444 compared with £23,500 for the Nissan. But if Chevrolet was to sell the Trax here, it would probably be costlier than its Japanese counterpart because its safety features would likely need upgrading to meet UK legislation. The most recent attempt by a US giant to crack the UK was General Motors' (GM) Cadillac at the turn of the century. One GM employee, who asked not to be named, told us it was doomed by lack of investment. 'I think one of the underlying problems was that GM believed the name Cadillac would be enough,' they said. 'The cars themselves weren't too bad. The fit and finish were a bit suspect, but the CTS was spacious, well equipped and well priced. But GM didn't invest in any brand building, promotion or dealerships. One dealer was operating out of a Portakabin. It didn't feel like a serious effort.' Quality problems continue to dog American cars to this day. Teslas are renowned for their finish being as poor as Elon Musk's grasp of the British Constitution. 'I wonder how many current Tesla owners will buy one the second time around?' the GM employee pondered. If Trump wants to understand why we don't want his cars, he needs to look back half a century. In the 1970s you could buy a raft of brand-new US cars in the UK from Cadillac, Pontiac and Ford. The Eldorado and Fleetwood Brougham from Cadillac were a gargantuan 5.6m long, almost twice the length of the original Mini. Ford also sold US-built cars here, despite having an ample line-up specially designed for our roads. The range went from Mustangs (when they were going through an undesirable phase) to monsters such as the 5m-long Fairmont and Mercury Monarch. The firm's 1977 export brochure is titled 'Ford imported cars: the key to a different world'. It certainly was a different world – and one that was as unfavourable to US-built cars as it is today. For a start, there was their size. US cars of the 1970s and 1980s were enormous, thirsty and costly to run. And because the UK charged tariffs on new models, they were too expensive for all but the richest drivers. The American Auto Club's Ian Hadley explains: 'The big old 'land yachts' were made for wider roads than ours and people were often put off by their big engines and them being left-hand drive.' Saul from the University of Warwick adds: 'They [US cars] got a bad press for their build quality and weren't hardy enough for UK conditions. That doomed them. Now it's a very different market. I think we've become more accustomed to the perceived quality of German vehicles and their makers have become expert at building and selling their brands to us.' Trump might think that all US brands have to do is send cars over here and we'll buy them, but British buyers have always proved a bit savvier than that.

Ford pushes next-gen F-150 production to 2028
Hear this story Ford has delayed the release of the next-generation F-150 gasoline/hybrid truck, pushing production to April 2028. Analysts believe Ford is exercising caution due to potential changes in tariffs and regulations. The delay could impact Ford dealers who may have to offer more incentives to sell the current F-150 model. Ford Motor Co. will delay the next generation of its F-150 gasoline/hybrid trucks for one year, sticking with the current generation until production scheduled for April 2028, Auto Forecast Solutions confirmed last week to the Detroit Free Press. Ford spokesman Mike Levine said the company had no comment on the F-150's future production dates noting, 'We don't comment on speculation about future products.' F Series trucks, led by the F-150, have been the bestselling vehicles in the United States for more than 40 years and are a major profit driver for the automaker. Crain's Detroit Business, citing three supplier executives from different companies, first reported the delay. Analysts said one likely reason for the move is significant uncertainty surrounding the auto industry and economy under the new Trump administration. President Donald Trump has proposed raising tariffs as high as 25% across goods from all countries and on Tuesday said auto tariffs would likely be at that level, which could raise prices for carmakers who import parts to make products in the United States. While Ford's exposure to imports is lower than some of its competitors, the unknown of what changes might come from Trump could be enough to make Ford exercise caution. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. 'Ford needs to tread carefully, given all the swirling changes in the Beltway,' said Dan Ives, managing director and senior equity analyst at Wedbush Securities. 'This is a prudent, but smart move for Farley and Ford.' Ives said if there are no sweeping changes from the White House to regulations, tariffs or other policies, Ford could always reinstate the next-generation F-150's 2027 target launch. A delay this far into the future is unlikely due to issues with Ford's supply chain, said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at Auto Forecast Solutions. The Detroit automaker could prioritize investment in other areas or the technology it plans for the 15th generation of the pickup. More automotive industry:Trump says auto tariffs likely to start at 25%, increase gradually Auto Forecast Solutions produces closely followed reports that monitor vehicle production. It releases regular reports on production disruptions such as semiconductor and microchip shortages. 'Suppliers will have to carry the same parts for another year and dealers won't have their new model for another year,' he said. Morningstar autos analyst David Whiston said the most logical reason for a delay would be Ford wanting to watch its spending. But it would be hard to predict how the delay might impact Ford's profits, he said. 'It would hurt a bit on pricing as the product ages, but probably not a disaster from a profit point of view,' Whiston said. 'More of an incentive headwind as discounting would likely have to rise for a year.' Meanwhile, production delays could impact how Ford dealers can market these vehicles. 'If you have a truck that's getting long in the tooth, it might require more incentives to get it to sell,' Fiorani said. Jamie L.
