The Ford F-Series truck will surpass 640,000 trucks this year alone, making it America's best-selling truck for 48 consecutive years and America's best-selling vehicle for 43 years after selling an average of at least one F-Series Truck every 49 seconds last year. Whoa! That’s a lot of trucks! Why do people like the Ford F-series truck so much? And what has made it maintain its popularity for almost 5 decades?
It’s not a fluke or a coincidence. There are a multitude of reasons why the Ford F-150 is the best-selling truck in the U.S. With its solid durability and up-to-the-date technology, the capability of an F-150 truck is unmatched. For the last five decades, the F-150 has held the coveted title of the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. Since 1948, more than 40 million F series trucks have been sold, which is a formidable, hard-to-beat record.
Ford’s dedicated focus on the original design as well as frequent upgrades is what makes the F-Series such a success year after year. The F-150 owners vouch for the uncompromising quality and exceptional performance of this pick-up truck. This pick-up truck is loved by Americans because it fits diverse lifestyles.
The F-150 is constructed with military-grade aluminum. Special efforts are made to make sure the truck is hundreds of pounds lighter than the other trucks on the market – without compromising on sturdiness. The strong aluminum body of the Ford F-150 guarantees its durability, even in the most grueling environments.
Most other trucks in the market have a steel body, which is prone to rust, corrosion, dents, and even accidental scratches. But a Ford F-series, with its aluminum body, will neither rust nor corrode when exposed to winter, snow, water, sleet, salt, and it’s just tough to make a dent on it.
For proof, Ford conducted thorough testing on the F-150 by having it haul heavy loads and pull large trailers across deserts and over mountainous terrain to check its reliability – and the F-150 passed every single test with flying colors.
Thanks to a lighter body, the F-150 can be equipped with different engine options. You can choose an engine that’s more fuel efficient or you can go for the raw power. The second generation 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 generates 325hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, while the new F-150 model generates 290hp and 265 lb-ft of torque.
One of the key reasons why many overwhelmingly chose this truck and have made F-150 the best-selling vehicle is that its twin turbochargers offer on-demand power. This allows the F-150 to provide highly responsive power, unlike any other truck on the market.
If you are looking for something exceptionally powerful, then the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 2018 might be a good bet. This latest model can tow up to 13,200 pounds.
Ford F-150 is an incredibly flexible vehicle in terms of customization. You can personalize it to your comfort without sacrificing its capability. The wide range of Ford F-150 trucks can be customized according to your preferences. You can choose from different styles of bed lengths, self-parking, off-road packages, power tailgate release, retractable running boards, tailgate step, smart cruise control, and more.
