Thames Trader Lorry 1957

Thames Trader


What is your favourite lorry of all time?



The Ford Thames Trader forward-control chassis was introduced in 1957 and remained in production until 1966. The large range offered payload capacities from 3 to 7 tons and short-wheelbase tractive units for hauling semi-trailers. Engines were four-cylinder petrol or diesel (3.4 and 3.6-litre) for models up to three tons. Above that weight the model used either a 4.8-litre six-cylinder petrol or a 5.4-litre six-cylinder diesel. They all used the same cab design, although there were small variations on the grille and headlamp panels.
