BACKGROUND
The Ford B100 was produced for markets outside the United States, including Mexico, as a full-size, enclosed SUV intended to carry passengers rather than cargo. With four full doors, a long wheelbase, and a spacious interior, it was designed to serve as a people mover for large families, combining the comfort of a wagon with the capability of four-wheel drive.
This example reflects that original intent, offering a roomy cabin, upright seating, and classic late-1960s/early-1970s Ford styling. Its proportions and layout set it apart from shorter, sportier SUVs of the era, emphasizing interior space and road presence over compactness or performance-focused design.
MODIFICATIONS
Power comes from a Ford 302ci V8, a well-balanced small-block that provides smooth power delivery and dependable drivability. The 302 is a natural fit for a vehicle of this size, offering enough torque to move passengers comfortably without feeling overworked or harsh.
Larger tires give the B100 a confident stance and added capability while keeping the overall character intact. The modifications remain subtle and functional, supporting everyday driving and long-distance use rather than transforming the vehicle into something extreme or specialized.
DRIVING
Behind the wheel, the B100 feels solid and composed, with a relaxed driving experience that suits its size and purpose. The long wheelbase contributes to stability, especially at cruising speeds, making it comfortable on the road for extended drives with multiple passengers
With four-wheel drive, ground clearance, and appropriate tires, the truck is equally capable off pavement. It can handle trails, dirt roads, highway driving, and daily use without needing to be specialized for any one environment. The ability to move people, carry gear, and operate in varied conditions is what makes the B100 effective as a whole.
