The Ford P platform is Ford Motor Company's full-size pickup platform. Introduced in 2003, variations of it are shared by both the F-150 and Super Duty versions of the Ford F-Series.
The ninth generation F-150 trucks were built in Cuautitlán Izcalli, Mexico, Dearborn, Michigan, Claycomo, Missouri, Norfolk, Virginia and Valencia, Venezuela. It was also built in Oakville, Ontario until its closure in 2004. In 2007, the related T1 platform entered production for the large SUVs.
Vehicles that were on the P2 platform include:
An updated Super Duty version of the P platform (F-250 through F-550) began production in 2006 for the 2008 model year. Production of the Super Duty trucks will continue at the Louisville, Kentucky truck plant.
Cancelled variant; potentially to have reintroduced the F-100 nameplate as a mid-size pickup and Ranger replacement in 2010-2011 As an alternative, Ford chose to introduce EcoBoost engines to the full-size F-Series to increase its fuel economy.
All-new platform, the 2015 Ford F-150 marked the adoption of aluminum body construction for the F-Series
