(Restored F-100 | Credit: Velocity Modern Classics Ford F-100) Post Malone has made an exciting and surprising leap into country music with his latest album, F-1 Trillion. Country has been a genre he has long expressed a love for, but is now fully embracing. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, making it his third album to reach this pinnacle. It was one of the largest country album debuts of 2024, selling 250,000 units first week which was second only to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter. F-1 Trillion also claimed top spots on the Top Country Albums, Top Streaming Albums, and Top Album Sales charts. Notably, the title F-1 Trillion is a nod to Ford’s iconic F-100 truck, symbolizing Post Malone’s love for vintage vehicles plus his personal spin to the country genre. In addition, the album cover features a vintage Ford F-100—a staple in country music’s connection to American culture. The truck even has its own Instagram page ( @fonetrillion) with over 19 thousand followers, where you can find behind-the-scenes content about how the album cover was made. Spoiler: they suspended the F-100 truck in the air with a crane and then dropped it into a shallow lake, destroying the front of the vehicle. (Promotional poster via Raising Cane's) Post Malone has been bringing this F-100 on tour across the country and giving fans unique photo opportunities with the historic vehicle. He also had it displayed nearby at the Dallas Cowboys x Post Malone x Raising Cane's location in Dallas, TX. This creative promotion brings together Post Malone's art and country music’s deep-rooted love for trucks—a bond that resonates here throughout Central Texas. Why Wreck Such a Beautiful Truck?—Post Malone’s Artistic Vision The damaged F-100 is a part of Post Malone’s artistic vision symbolizing how he’s unafraid to push musical boundaries. The wrecked truck represents breaking conventions—blending the rugged spirit of Americana with his fresh, new-age style. Posty invites fans to not only see but feel the fusion of old and new country. Ford Trucks and Country Music—A Central Texas Staple Post Malone realized something important when deciding his album cover: Ford trucks have long been symbolic in country music. For decades, Ford trucks have been beloved by country music stars and fans alike. Artists like the late Toby Keith personified Ford’s toughness and durability. Country singers today continue this tradition such as Jordan Davis, whose love for Ford dates back to his grandfather’s 1960s F-150, and Cody Johnson, who partnered with Ford for the 2023 Ford Truck Month. Even closer to home, Texas artist Casey Donahew has embraced Ford, relying on his truck for everything from hauling gear to touring. For us in Central Texas, these trucks aren’t just vehicles—they’re a symbol of independence, grit, and a way of life. Ford Trucks—From the F-100 to Today’s Powerhouses The Ford F-100 was one of the most beloved trucks of its era. Introduced in the 1950s, the F-100 set the standard for what a full-size truck should be: rugged yet stylish, capable yet comfortable. Its boxy frame and classic look are still revered by truck enthusiasts today. It’s no wonder why Post Malone chose it to represent his venture into country music. Fast forward to today, and Ford’s F-Series trucks have come a long way.
