I just had to re-post this YouTube Video of an International Pickup walk-around. This is the pickup that I first learned to drive in. This truck is even the same color of my Dads' pick-up truck! I can tell you that this was a hard riding, hard steering, hard shifting pickup truck for a 13 year old to learn to drive in!
I have always liked cars and especially trucks! Since then I have made a career in the design and manufacture of work trucks. I now enjoy sharing my knowledge and learn every day about the application and use of trucks for work.
You will find a lot of great information about work trucks on my workintrucks.com website, and blogs, hope you enjoy it and also maybe sign up for our forum there!
Also take a look at the Commercial Truck Success blog. The CTS blog posts news daily on light and medium duty trucks, as well as new applications and products. The blog has a very large following worldwide.

Businesses across Europe already love Ford Pro’s all-new Transit Custom van and Ranger pickup – that’s why they’re the best-selling commercial vehicles of their kind in Europe. So too did the jury of expert judges behind Europe’s commercial vehicle equivalent of the Oscars.
The all-new Transit Custom’s customer-led design and innovative features helped make it International Van of the Year 2024 – the fifth crown for a van from Ford Pro’s popular Transit family.
The connected and capable all-new Ranger Wildtrak pickup also won the International Pick-up Award 2024, making it a hat-trick of wins after Ranger also took the trophy in 2013 and 2020.
Kia revealed a lineup of all-electric vehicles for commercial and fleet applications at CES in 2024.

THE DMD is an innovative medium-duty, fully hydraulic lift that utilizes a twin-cylinder design to ensure smooth and efficient performance.
The ultimate goal of the groundbreaking new DMD design is to offer a high-performing medium-duty rail-style gate combined with low maintenance needs. The DMD features two direct-acting cylinders versus competing concepts with one horizontal cylinder and cables and/or pulleys. Consequently, the DMD has fewer moving parts resulting in less ongoing maintenance.
