The Ford Mustang is one of the most iconic American automobiles of all time. It has been around since 1964, and it has gone through a number of iterations over the years. One of the questions that many people have asked over the years is: Did Ford ever make a Mustang pickup truck?
The answer to this question is both yes and no. While Ford never released any factory-made Mustang pickup trucks, there were several aftermarket companies that took existing Ford Mustangs and converted them into pickup trucks. These conversions were usually done on first-generation Mustangs (1964–1973) and they often included changes to the front-end styling, custom beds, and other modifications to make them look like traditional pickups.
Ford did produce an experimental Mustang pickup in 1966. The vehicle was dubbed the “Mustang II”, and it was designed to be a small-scale version of a traditional truck.
It featured an extended cab with two extra doors and a short bed in the rear. This vehicle never made it into production, though prototypes were tested for a few years before being scrapped.
In conclusion, while Ford never officially released any production Mustang pickup trucks, there were several aftermarket conversions and an experimental prototype released during the first generation of Mustangs (1964–1973). Despite its popularity with fans, Ford ultimately decided against producing any mass-produced version of this vehicle.
