Ford – trucks up to 3.5 tonnes (Class N1): collective page from historic Model A chassis through F-250/F-350 pickups to the electric E-Transit, four- to eight-cylinder engines, gross weights up to 3.5 tonnes
This page gathers Ford vehicles listed in registration registers under EU vehicle class N1 – light trucks with a gross vehicle weight of up to 3.5 tonnes. It is not a series in its own right but a collective page covering pickups, flatbeds and chassis-cab versions from several model families: from historic chassis such as the Model A and Model TT, through the heavy F-250 and F-350 pickups and the E-Series vans (E-250, E-350), to the current, battery-electric E-Transit. Special bodies, such as fire engines on Ford chassis, also appear in the registers under this class.

The register lists 64 versions here with 29 to 294 kW from four- to eight-cylinder engines, displacements from 1,995 cm³ up into the range of heavy eight-cylinder diesel engines, kerb weights of 1,290 to 3,355 kg, gross vehicle weights of 1,980 to 3,500 kg, lengths of 4,350 to 7,550 mm and widths of 1,702 to 2,500 mm.
Class N1 is Europe's light-commercial-vehicle segment up to 3.5 tonnes, in which Ford is traditionally strong with the F-Series and Transit/E-Transit; competitors include the Dodge Ram, GMC Sierra and the European vans of Mercedes-Benz, VW and Iveco.
On the American F-250/F-350 pickups, check for frame and load-bed corrosion, the condition of the automatic transmission and diesel engine, and, on imported vehicles, the conversion to European registration requirements; on historic chassis, check originality and the condition of the timber body framing and electrics. Parts for the current F-Series and E-Transit run through the Ford dealer network, while US imports are also sourced through specialist import-parts dealers.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
