The F-Series has been the best-selling truck in Canada for over 50 years. As of the 2018 model year, the F-Series generated $41 billion (~$49 billion in 2023) in annual revenue for Ford. By January 2022, the F-Series models have sold over 40 million units. Currently, Ford manufactures the F-Series in four facilities in the United States.

Removing the bed coating from the sides to replace the bed floor pan is a strategic step to ease proper repair and ensure a secure fit. The dash has been disassembled to simplify the installation of an original-style radio, along with the integration of new speakers.
