Ford T Platform

T, or also known as T3, is the designation used for a Ford Motor vehicle architecture designed to underpin full-size mainstream and luxury SUVs. When used for full-size pickup truck applications, like the F-150 and the Ford Super Duty, the architecture uses the P designation. Its predecessor is the T1 platform.  The Ford T platform’s main duty is to underpin mass-selling full-size SUVs of all variants, both in standard and long wheelbase layouts.

This platform is currently in production for vehicles sold under the Ford nameplate worldwide. Here are the Ford vehicles currently sold in the U.S. and Canada that ride on the Ford T platform:
