The word pickup comes from the English word "pick-up", also called car card. A pickup truck is a car with a front and a cab, as well as an open truck compartment. It is characterized by car comfort, strong power, and stronger cargo carrying capacity and passability than cars. Perhaps in the eyes of most people, pickup trucks are only used to pull goods. Emmmm really began to work, but with the progress of the times, more and more people eat, and pickup trucks gradually unlock more postures.
Today, I will explain to you how the pickup truck that can carry people and pull goods came from. I still remember that it was 100 years ago. Car sales at that time were not quite the same as now. At that time, it was not a vehicle sale. At that time, the automobile company produced the automobile chassis separately, and then the chassis was purchased by a third-party company and converted into a complete vehicle.
19 13 a car body manufacturing company called Galen said, "I want to launch a car that is more suitable for carrying goods!" So a bucket was added to the bought chassis, which is the prototype of pickup truck.
When other car companies saw this kind of car, they all said it was "blowing thorns", so the door of the new world opened. 1925, the American automobile giant Ford improved the Model T and made a more advanced pickup truck, which is recognized as the earliest pickup truck. This car was named Ford Model T roadster. Ford uses assembly lines to improve production efficiency and reduce car prices. At that time, the price of the first pickup truck was only $2,865,438 +0.
Pickups were not born to enjoy life, but their purpose is very clear, that is, work, which is very similar to trucks today. The initial positioning of pickup trucks is relatively grounded, which can be said to be rustic, but American farmers like this taste. It is said that pickup trucks also have an extremely grounded event-pickup truck breeding competition. It is said that both black pickups and white pickups are good pickups for farming.
I don't know if it is because people's aesthetics have improved, or because "the soil is the tide to the extreme." After eating and drinking enough, everyone began to pay attention to the comfort and functionality of pickup trucks, and even the appearance should be more fashionable. When pickup trucks are combined with "high performance", pickup trucks are developed into other ways of playing. Yes, the American people started racing with pickup trucks. Of course, drag racing is mainly based on linear acceleration. With the increasingly rich functions of pickup trucks, pickup trucks have gradually become a part of American culture and flourished in the United States. (Image from the Internet)
