Ford T platforms
The Ford T platform is a series of Ford Motor Company's body-on-frame automobile platform.
T1
The T1 platform debuted in 2006 with the 2007 model year Ford Expedition, and shares elements with the 2004–2008 Ford F-150's chassis. For the 2007 model year, the Lincoln Navigator moved to the T1 as well. Applications:
T3
The T3 is Ford's incumbent large truck platform, which began production in November 2014, starting with the 2015 model year P552 F-150. The fourth generation Expedition, Expedition Max (formerly Expedition EL), Navigator and Navigator L are also built on this platform, shared with the Ford F-Series thirteenth generation chassis design from the P552 F-150 and P558 Ford Super Duty. Applications:
T5
The T5 platform is what Land Rover calls an Integrated Body Frame, which joins both a monocoque section for the engine bay and passenger compartment, and a ladder frame section for the gearbox and suspension. Compared to the all unibody 2001 Range Rover, the heavier frame construction was chosen for lower costs, with the intent to use it on a new redesigned Defender and various other models, but many of these plans did not transpire. Cancelled models:
T6
The T6 is the smallest of the new T platforms, designed for midsize trucks and SUVs. Applications: T6.2
