The phrase “Built Ford Tough” isn't just an advertising slogan. It's an enduring reality based on decades of reliable performance from hard-working Ford trucks across a wide variety of industries. Built Ford Tough is a commitment to strength, durability and quality that's been the foundation of Ford trucks for many years.

The Ford F-150 has been the most popular truck in America for an unprecented 47 years in a row. In fact, the F-150 is the best-selling vehicle of any kind on the planet, something we’re proud of at Gem City Ford in Quincy, IL. It’s a testimony to Ford’s dedication to building trucks that are consistently Built Ford Tough.

A history of durability

Ford's legacy of toughness extends back more than a century to the days when Henry Ford rolled out the first Model T, a vehicle that came to represent reliability and enduring quality. Ford has built on that history by engineering every Ford truck so it can withstand the harshest weather and the most challenging terrain while still coming through with consistently dependable performance.

A legacy that's been tested by fire

Ford has developed a comprehensive program of incredibly demanding testing processes that pay off for our Hannibal and Beardstown customers. Every Ford truck prototype goes through extensive testing in extreme conditions, ranging from scorching desert heat to freezing Arctic temperatures. Ford subjects its trucks to challenging trials to make sure they can pack heavy loads, tow tremendous weights and take on challenging terrain.

The Ford F-Series: Built to stand the test of time

The Ford F-Series has been the best-selling lineup of trucks in the country for more than four decades and it's a tangible embodiment of the Built Ford Tough commitment. Each of these trucks are made to perform in the most demanding situations whether it's a construction site, a farm, a ranch or rugged off-road terrain. Ford trucks are built with a military-grade high-strength aluminum alloy body and a fully boxed steel frame. That's the backbone of Ford F-Series performance characteristics, giving these trucks a strong yet lightweight structure.

The Ford F-150: Still the king of the hill

The prime example of the phrase “Built Ford Tough” is the Ford F-150 full-size pickup. It consistently delivers the best towing and hauling capability of any truck in its class which helps explain its phenomenal global popularity.
