“Decade by decade, Mueller gives a colorful guided tour of the main models of Ford trucks, from the earliest T-based 1925s to the bling and bulky attitude of the present. The short history for each decade is fact-packed and just long enough to keep all of the color photos from banging together, a Whitman Sampler of trucks.” – Mark Wigginton, Sports Car Market.
“Mike Mueller’s Ford Pickup Trucks from Motorbooks is a great spotter’s guide offering full-color images of every Ford pickup to leave the plant…” – John Gilbert, Custom Classic Trucks
“More than mere shelf filler, this book is a homerun for fans of Ford trucks and all who see the American pickup truck as an icon in the truest sense of the word.” – Jim Hinckley, Cars and Parts
