Country Star Margo Price Hangs with Rolling Stone in an F-150
A lifelong Blue Oval fan, singer talks about her favorite Fords.
Country music and pickup trucks go together like peanut butter and jelly, ebony and ivory, and whiskey and rye. The usual suspects in any country smash hit are trucks that are rusty, jacked-up, ready to go down that muddy road under the moonlight with the hot farmer’s daughter, and are either Chevys or Fords (because no one writes songs about Rams or Toyotas. Yet).
Rising country music superstar Margo Price is no stranger to including trucks in her songs, though they’ll likely only be about Fords, as she is a lifelong fan of the Blue Oval. Rolling Stone learned her love of Fords first-hand during a ride through her native Nashville in a 2018 F-150 King Ranch.
Though Price has a 2016 F-150 at home (one with a sunroof), her first car was actually a Saturn she purchased with money earned as a lifeguard, only to wreck it in her parents’ driveway soon after. While she was on the come-up, Price ferried her band and their gear in an Explorer “and a U-Haul on the back.” As she tells Rolling Stone, it was the least she could do since she barely had any money to pay them.
The F-150 King Ranch definitely kickstarted Price’s heart, especially upon hearing the 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbo diesel fire up. At one point, she even wanted to find “a big open field” to make sick donuts upon.
Of course, she would not have been able to drive the badass F-150 if she hadn’t taken care of her license issues first. Turns out her laziness got the better of her when she was pulled over for expired tags while driving to the gym not too long ago. Better late than never, though.
