As of 2008, the F-series has been the best-selling truck in the United States since 1976, and the country's best-selling vehicle of any type since 1981. The Lariat was introduced in 1978.

Who invented the lariat rope?

At one end of the rope is a running knot or a metal ring by means of which a loop or noose is made. The loop is thrown, from as far away as 30 ft (9 m), around the horns or the feet of an animal and drawn tight. The lasso was invented by Native Americans, who used it effectively in war against the Spanish invaders.

What were Lariats used for?

A lasso (/ˈlæsoʊ/ or /læˈsuː/), also called lariat, riata, or reata (all from Castilian, la reata 're-tied rope'), is a loop of rope designed as a restraint to be thrown around a target and tightened when pulled.
