The Thomas Auto Truck Company of New York City was set up by Charles K Thomas, who had been vice-president of the Federal Motor Truck Company. The Thomas was a 2-ton capacity assembled truck with worm-drive and was powered by a four-cylinder engine. For 1917 Thomas also offered 2-1/2-ton and 3-1/2-ton models.

The company was incorporated as Consolidated Motors before the end of 1917. 

Very few Thomas trucks were built.
