You're a True Truck Fan If You Can Identify More Than 11 of These Trucks

The Chevy Blazer was a pretty popular truck in its day, but the Chevy Blazer Chalet was a little more unusual when it showed up for one fun-filled year, from 1966 to 1967. With the camper in the back, you could sleep two or seat four.

The Silverado is Chevy's most popular pickup truck, introduced in 1998. Originally, "Silverado" was a name for a trim package on the older Chevy C/K line of trucks, dating back to 1975.

Chevy has the Silverado, Ford has the F-Series, and Dodge has the Ram. Ram has been around since 1981, and in that time, Motor Trend magazine has named the Ram as Truck of the Year an incredible six times.

The Dodge Lil' Red Express was a total monster back in 1978. Car and Driver magazine tested it from 0 to 100 and rated it the fastest vehicle on the road at the time. That's not just the fastest truck on the road - it was the fastest vehicle, period.

The Hummer H3 was rolled out between 2006 and 2010, and it was the last Hummer model produced. The H3, available as an SUV or a pickup, was the smallest of the Hummers, after the H1 and the H2. Although Hummers were renowned as gas guzzlers, the H3 was reworked as a plug-in hybrid prototype in 2009.

The Lamborghini LM002 was the first truck Lamborghini ever sold, following prototypes called the Cheetah and the LM001. The LM002 was made from 1986 until 1993. In 2004, the U.S. military forces in Iraq blew up the one that had belonged to Saddam Hussein's son.

The Mazda rotary-engined pickup, part of the Mazda B-Series, was sold between 1974 and 1977. Mazda's pretty famous for its rotary engines and has proven on and off the race track that their somewhat unusual approach to carmaking can really work.

The GMC Syclone existed for one action-packed year, back in 1991, when 2,995 of them were produced. When it was introduced, the Syclone was the fastest stock pickup truck in the world. It could go from 0 to 60 in just 4.3 seconds.

The Jeep Honcho was a trim package for the Jeep J10 pickup. The Honcho was differentiated by an excellent paint job and decals on the sides, as well as a Levi's interior for those drivers who really enjoyed the look and feel of denim.

The Lincoln Blackwood had a very short life that lasted for all of 2002 and, if you were in Mexico, 2003 as well. Lincoln was hoping to sell about 18,000 in the first year but only managed to sell 3,356 of them, with some of the trucks selling below invoice.

The Rod Hall Signature Edition Dodge barely existed in 1986 and 1987, with only 14 produced and all of them recalled due to suspension issues. Carroll Shelby of Shelby Mustang fame helped redesign the Rod Hall Signature Edition Dodge in 1990, and 33 were produced.

People may focus on the F-150 when they think of Ford F-Series trucks, but the Super Duty trucks are the heavy duty models like the F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550. Incidentally, the numbering continues, with the Ford F-650 and F-750 classified as Medium Duty.

The very first Chevy Suburban was actually a Chevy Carryall Suburban, a station wagon introduced in the mid-1930s. The 11th generation is currently available as of 2020, in production since 2015.

Toyota has been making the 4Runner since 1983 for the North American market and several other countries. In Japan, however, it went by the name of Toyota HiLux Surf, until they stopped selling it in 2009. The 4Runner is still around, though.

The Ford Baja Bronco was a special edition of the much more popular Bronco. With both aesthetic and technological improvements over the standard Bronco, it was also a couple thousand dollars more expensive, which is why so few of them were sold.

Tesla's first truck, the Cybertruck, has been hyped in anticipation of its release with a 2019 press conference that was a bit of a gong show. A demonstration was meant to show off the truck's unbreakable windows, one of which promptly broke (because it wasn't rolled up all the way). Oops!

Is the Ford Ranchero really a truck? It has a flatbed, and that's close enough. It was Ford's counterpart to the Chevy El Camino, and over 500,000 of them were manufactured during the vehicle's run, which is pretty impressive.

The Ford SVT Lightning is the performance version of the F-150, produced first from 1993 to 1995 and then again as a second generation from 1999 to 2004. The second generation truck could go from 0 to 60 in just over 5 seconds.

The Jeep FC-150, or the Forward Control 150, was introduced in 1956 and has that very cool retro appeal. Word is this truck was so rugged it could handle climbing grades up to 60%, which is pretty hardcore for a '50s truck.

The Chevy 454 SS was a 1990 variant of Chevy's GMT400. It came with a 454-cubic-inch V8 engine and a whole slew of aesthetic touches to make it stand out, including red trim lines and 454 SS decals, fog lights and special rims. After the first two years, Summit White and Victory Red were added to Onyx Black as exterior color options.

When Ford started making F-Series trucks in 1948, they introduced the F-1, F-2 and F-3 to start. Then for the second generation in 1953 they expanded the numbers to three digits, as in F-100, etc. 1953 was also the first year that the Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission was offered as an option for Ford trucks.

The Toyota Tundra was the first full-size pickup in North America from a Japanese manufacturer, starting production back in 1999. In both 2000 and 2008, Motor Trend voted it as their Truck of the Year. Currently, it's the only full-size pickup made in Texas.

The Chevy 3100 was part of the Chevy Advanced Series of trucks back in the late '40s and '50s. Prior to getting the somewhat uncreative name of "3100," these trucks had names like "Thriftmaster" and "Loadmaster."

The International CXT was made by Navistar International. The acronym in the name stands for "Commercial Extreme Truck," and, as you can see, these are really big, really intense commercial trucks. However, they were carefully designed to fall just below the gross vehicle weight that would require a commercial trucker's license to drive.

Toyota's Land Cruiser was produced for 41 years, from 1960 to 2001. The J40 Series was available in different versions, with longer and shorter wheelbases. The 40/41/42 versions were the smallest, the 43/44/46 were medium, and the 45/47 versions had the longest wheelbase.

The Land Rover Defender was first sold as the Land Rover Ninety and the Land Rover One Ten. Production began back in 1983 and lasted until 2016. That wasn't the end of the Defender, though, as Land Rover brought it back for a run in 2020 as well.

Suzuki has been making the Samurai since 1970, although in Japan it's marketed under the name Jimny Sierra. It's also been sold under the name Suzuki Jimny in different regions. A pickup body style is available, as well as a wagon, van or convertible.

Originally the Datsun D21, then the Nissan D21 and finally, in North America at least, the Nissan Hardbody, this truck was available in the U.S. from 1985 to 1997. The truck had a double-wall bed, inspiring its name.

Mercedes-Benz's Unimog dates back to 1948, but Daimler-Benz didn't start making them until 1951. The awkward name is short for "Universal-Motor-Gerat," where "Gerat" is a German term for a piece of equipment or a machine.

The Shelby Dakota was a limited production model of the Dodge Dakota truck, which had been in production since 1986. The Shelby Dakota was, of course, designed by the legendary Carroll Shelby, most famous for his Shelby Cobra and Shelby Mustang.

The Jeep Gladiator was a full-sized pickup based on the Jeep Wagoneer. By 1971 they dropped the Gladiator name and just went with J-Series, calling them things like J2000 and J4000 and so on. The new Gladiator is the first truck Jeep has made since the 1990s.

The International Harvester Travelall was a precursor to modern SUVs. International Harvester was in business from 1902 until 1985. As the name suggests, they mostly made agricultural equipment, but they did dabble in passenger vehicles for a time.

The Ford Model T arguably started the modern vehicle revolution, thanks to Henry Ford's manufacturing process, which made it affordable to common people. Some Model T Runabouts were produced with a truck bed in the back, forecasting a future love of trucks in the U.S.

The Ford Centurion was actually the Ford Bronco Centurion Classic, a variant of the Bronco with four doors. There were two versions of the Centurion - one based on the F-150 chassis and one based on the F-350 chassis.
