So confident was Ford in its new unibody trucks that, when they were introduced in 1961, the unibody was the model used for short- and long-bed F-100s and F-250s. These âstylesideâ models, as Ford called them, were available only in two-wheel drive.

These innovations have paved the way for four- and all-wheel driveâs astonishing popularity today. Whether people actually need four driven wheels or not, this setup is largely viewed as a premium feature.
