The first Fargo trucks were built in Chicago by the Fargo Motor Car Company from 1913 until 1922. In 1928, Chrysler created their line of Fargo trucks. Fargo was a brand of truck manufactured by the Chrysler Corporation to give them a commercial line. Shortly after its creation, Chrysler bought the Dodge Brothers Company, adding Dodge and Graham Brothers Trucks. Fargo trucks were almost identical to Dodge trucks, save for trim and name, and were sold by Chrysler-Plymouth dealers. Production began in the late 1920s.

  • The first Fargo trucks were built in Chicago by the Fargo Motor Car Company from 1913 until 1922. In 1928, Chrysler created their line of Fargo trucks. Fargo was a brand of truck manufactured by the Chrysler Corporation to give them a commercial line. Shortly after its creation, Chrysler bought the Dodge Brothers Company, adding Dodge and Graham Brothers Trucks. Fargo trucks were almost identical to Dodge trucks, save for trim and name, and were sold by Chrysler-Plymouth dealers. Production began in the late 1920s. U.S. production was discontinued in the 1930, but the name Fargo was lasted until 1972 for Canada, and lived longer for other countries around the world under the Chrysler Corporation's badge engineering marketing approach. Most of the Fargo trucks and bus chassis sold in Argentina, Finland, Australia, India, and other countries in Europe and Asia were made in Chrysler's Kew (UK) plant. Most were also sold under the Dodge and Commer names. Theories on why Chrysler used the name Fargo include the imagery of open range of the American west, symbolized by the city of Fargo and the Wells-Fargo stage lines, while another theory assumes there was a play on the words "Far" and "Go" denoting durability.
