Why Do So Many People Still Buy Trucks? Because The Interiors Are Nothing Like What You Experienced In This 2000 F-150 |
13.4% of the new vehicles sold in the United States in 2012 were pickup trucks. A huge chunk of those trucks were Ford F-Series pickups. The F-Series nameplate was responsible for 4.5% of the new vehicles sold in America in 2012. This means the F-Series outsold Ford’s utility division by nearly 26,000 units. (In December, the F-Series outsold Ford’s car division, too.)
