The Dakota Was Not America’s Best-Selling Truck In 2012. Or Ever. |
Ford sold more F-Series pickup trucks in America in 2012 than in any year since 2007. Ford put a lickin’ on General Motors – the F-Series outsold GM’s twins by 69,819 units – and outsold Japan’s best-selling truck bya count of 4.5-to-1.
The worst declines were reported by defunct pickup trucks like the Ford Ranger, Suzuki Equator, and Dodge Dakota.
