Introduced in 1917, the Ford Model TT remained in production for a decade.

Rated at 1-ton, for load-carrying purposes, the newcomer utilised a longer, heavier gauge chassis than its Model T passenger car sibling but the same torquey 2.9-litre four-cylinder engine and epicyclic transmission.

The commercial variant also featured a stronger worm drive and crown wheel back axle and heavier-duty suspension.

Initially available in chassis-only guise, the Model TT could be had with a factory body from 1924 onwards.
