The Ford F-Series Continues to Be America's Best-Selling Car
The most popular car in America hasn’t altered despite significant developments in the automotive sector over the past few years. With more than 640,000 units delivered to consumers last year, the Ford F-Series was the best-selling new car in the US for the 41st consecutive year in 2022.
There are now a lot of various powertrains, cabin combinations, and trim levels available in the F-Series portfolio. Ford has a vehicle to suit any demand, ranging from the entry-level F-150 XL to the all-electric F-150 Lightning. The larger F-Series models are also offered in a variety of configurations. According to Ford, if all the trucks the company sold in 2017 were put in a straight line, it would reach over 2,400 miles (3,862 kilometers), which is greater than the distance that can be traveled by car from Los Angeles to Detroit.
President of Ford Blue, the company’s ICE vehicle division, Kumar Galhotra, says, “The Ford truck team’s ability to anticipate customer needs, continuously innovate, and provide best-in-class levels of capability and performance has helped make F-Series the sales leader time and time again.” “For more than 40 years, our customers have helped us reach this milestone. We are honored and humbled by this.”
The F-Series witnessed a decline in deliveries from 2021 to 2022, despite continuing to be the best-selling new car in the country and America’s best-selling truck for 46 years running. According to the dry figures, sales in 2022 were 640,000, up from 726,000 in the previous year and 787,400 in 2020. Ford claims that last year, it sold at least one F-Series truck every 49 seconds on average.
The year 2023 is looking to be very significant for America’s favorite car. This year marks the F-Series’ 75th anniversary, and the carmaker has already received more than 150,000 orders for the next Super Duty model. The first truck deliveries of that model are anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 2023. Given the increasing demand for both the standard F-150 and the F-150 Lightning, we anticipate the F-Series to maintain its unwavering position as the best-selling car in the nation.
