From a simple, folding metal surface to a multifunctional tool for work and all adventure and browsing lovers, the Ford’s Pick-Up Modeling Door has systematically evolved from company engineers over the years.

The first rear doors of the 1940s F-Series models were extremely simple to construct them, making it essentially simple metal surfaces, which had chains or ropes for their support. In the 1960s and 1970s their evolution went even further, with Ford’s rear doors becoming even more durable and robust, with more security locks. Immediately afterwards they supported significant upgrades to their endurance and ergonomics. Specifically, in the 1980s, Ford’s pick-up doors became lighter and more durable, incorporating even more upgraded locking mechanisms at the same time.

In 2000, Ford introduced the first loading door with a assist for its opening and closing (Tailgate Assist). The revolution came in the next decade, when Ford incorporated a built -in and folding staircase into the back door. This also had a specially designed handle, greatly facilitating the access of all drivers and professionals to the loading area.

In the 2020s, Ford introduced the multifunctional rear doors. In the latest F-50s and Super Duty models, the company added new features, such as a practical and integrated interior desktop section (Work Surface), the electric remote control mechanism, as well as cargo partitions and built-in toolboxes. A new feature that made its appearance on the F-150 hard-working faces was the Pro access tailgate. This innovative system added a middle door, integrated into the main, which opens out to three different angles (37, 70 and 100 degrees), offering even more direct and easy access to the pick-up loading area.
