The Reed Factor – Ford F-Series America’s Best-Selling Truck for 42 Years
Ford has done it again! Forty-two straight years as America’s best-selling pickup! A highlight among another great year for Ford, the American automaker sold more than 900,000 F-Series trucks. “December capped another strong year for Ford and the industry,” said Mark LaNeve, Ford Vice President, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. In addition to leading truck sales, “our commercial vans mark 40 straight years of leadership and we had a record year for Ford SUVs, all of which helped us post our ninth straight year as America’s best-selling brand.” F-Series finished 2018 with a record 10 straight months above 70,000 pickups sold; the year saw 909,330 trucks sold, while 87,772 trucks were sold in December alone. With 42 years now as America’s best-selling truck, Ford F- Series had record transactions in 2018 on demand for high-series pickups.
