| Ford introduced the [[Ford L-Series|L-Series "Louisville"]] line of conventional trucks in 1970, ending all F-Series commonality with its heavy commercial trucks. The L-Series/Aeromax remained in production through 1998, coinciding with the sale of the Ford heavy-truck line to Freightliner (who sold the line as [[Sterling Trucks]] through 2009). Outside North America, Ford currently markets the [[Ford Cargo]] and [[Ford F-MAX]] COE trucks. | Ford introduced the [[Ford L-Series|L-Series "Louisville"]] line of conventional trucks in 1970, ending all F-Series commonality with its heavy commercial trucks.

| Produced exclusively for Mexican and South American markets,<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Aubernon |first=Cameron |date=2021-09-30 |title=Ford's First Big SUV: A (Very) Brief History of the Ford B-100 |url=https://www.ford-trucks.com/articles/ford-b-100-history/ |access-date=2024-05-05 |website=Ford-Trucks.com |language=en-US}}</ref> the Ford B-Series Carryall (not to be confused with the [[Ford B series]] bus chassis) was a station wagon variant of the F-Series pickup sold from 1963 to 1994. Originally, trading laws had prevented the exportation of the US produced [[Ford E-Series|Ford Econoline]] van to Mexican and South American regions. To solve this issue, Ford decided to use the F-Series chassis (which had production facilities in Mexico and South America and were therefore not subject to these trade restrictions) to create a covered van as a substitute for the Econoline not being viable for export. The B-Series Carryall used the chassis, running gear, front fascia and doors of the Ford F-100 (later F-150) pickup, with the van conversion being outsourced to other companies and then sold through Mexican and South American Ford dealerships.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |date=2018-04-12 |title=The Mexican-Market Ford B-100 Is The Three-Door Ford F-150 Of Your Dreams |url=https://jalopnik.com/the-mexican-market-ford-b-100-is-the-three-door-ford-f-1825191099 |access-date=2024-05-05 |website=Jalopnik |language=en}}</ref> | |
| The original model, based on the [[Ford F-Series (fourth generation)|fourth generation F-100]] and sold as the B-100, was availiable as a two-door panel van or a two-door station wagon with seating for up to 10.<ref name=":3" /> | |
| For 1967, the B-100 shifted to the [[Ford F-Series (fifth generation)|fifth generation F-100]] platform and gained the option of a three door station wagon body style with a rear door exclusively on the right hand side of the vehicle. Versions sold in Argentina were known as the B-150. | |
| For 1973, the B-100 adopted the [[Ford F-Series (sixth generation)|sixth generation F-100]] platform, with specific South American markets also offering a B-250 Carryall, based on the three-quarter ton F-250. | |
| For 1980, the B-100 was renamed the B-150 in all markets and shifted to the [[Ford F-Series (seventh generation)|seventh generation F-150]] chassis. | |
| For 1987, the model was renamed B-200 and shifted to the [[Ford F-Series (eighth generation)|eighth generation F-150]] chassis. | |
| In 1994, the [[North American Free Trade Agreement]] was established, which allowed for the exportation of the US produced Ford Econoline van to Mexican and South American markets due to more lenient trade laws.<ref name=":2" /> This led to the discontinuation of the B-Series Carryall the same year, with it being unofficially replaced by the Econoline. | |
