Making a Dent in the Scene
When discussing the Ford F-100, most conversations lead to the mid-’50s body that has been done successfully time and time again. However, opinions have been trending toward the trucks that came decades later: the Bumpside and Dentside bodies. These popular forms span two generations for Ford, and we find ourselves with the latter for this story. Ford’s sixth generation F-series was introduced in 1973. This generation continues on the foundation brought into production by its preceding two generations but with some refinements along the way. However, most of these improvements were made to the cabin of the truck. Meanwhile, chassis and drivetrain features stayed stale through decades of production, and perhaps that’s why Nick Alfano’s Ranger XLT draws us in.
