This 92-year-old woman, Bev, has had a love affair with Ford trucks since 1983, and her current ride, a manual 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup truck has been her companion for 25 years.
Her truck is in incredible condition considering she’s put it through its paces for a quarter century.
She’s kitted her Ford truck out for ranch duty, and her age doesn’t get in the way at all.
Bev got her license aged just 13 during the Second World War and nothing is going to slow her down anytime soon.

Eight decades of Ford pickup trucks
Bev is 92 years old, but she wouldn’t let something as simple as age get in her way.
In fact, she’s often seen tearing up the streets of California in her 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup truck.
Her six-speed manual transmission-powered beast is not only super powerful, but it also has a whopping 335,000 miles on its odometer.
Bev’s commitment to keeping her Ford pickup in such good shape is commendable.
But we’re sure the car manufacturer gets annoyed with a 25-year-old truck that’s in such good condition she doesn’t have to replace it.
The fact that it’s lasted so long, though, is a testament to the quality of their vehicles.
Despite its age, this is hardly her first Ford truck, she bought her first stick-shift truck in 1945.
And the brand has given her decades of reliability.

She’s a 92-year-old who’s still in the fast lane
Bev used all of her trucks over the years for one purpose: living that Ranch life.
And all of her pickup trucks have been put through grueling labor.
Her current Super Duty pickup truck has a rear headache rack and louvered tailgate – perfect for the hard life of work it’s built for.
Bev began driving during world war II when she was just a teen, and she’s never looked back since – long may she continue!
