kelley blue book ford f series dominates america in state by state breakdown

Business Insider wanted to know the buying habits of Americans when it comes to cars. Thus, they asked Kelley Blue Book to present their findings from data gathered between January and August 2013, as well as the lowest price for each top model sold in New York City in November of this year.

The result? Thirty-five states, from the Bakken in North Dakota to the super patriots of New Hampshire, love the Ford F-Series. Perhaps Ford’s truck division strategy is truly paying off after all?

As for the other 15 states and our nation’s capital, California opts for the Honda Civic, Michigan adores the Ford Fusion, and DC’s Beltway is adorned in Toyota Corollas. The rest of the story is in the map below.

The basic utility of 1/2 ton pickups is very hard to beat . I see many more up graded pickups than base models , me I'd go for the basic work truck every time , no real _need_ for all the fancy crap most seem to have . AC is a thing I now would up grade to . These numbers are very interesting to see , keep the good info coming please . -Nate

I very badly want to see a (even general) sales breakdown of the F-150 vs other F-series models. I'm sure the F-150 is the lions share, but that is a huge model range to report as a single sales number. Also, from a consumer perspective, the F-150 is a "normal" commuter vehicle for a huge percentage of buyers, and is therefore interesting to compare to the Accord/Camry/etc. The F-250/350, less so.

  @RobertR - pickuptrucks.com has had breakdowns of the F series product mix. Ford combines up to F450 in sales. Anything bigger isn't included. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2013/03/update-total-retail-fleet-2012-sales.html http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2013/02/who-sold-the-most-hd-pickups-in-2012.html http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2013/02/who-sold-the-most-half-tons-in-2012.html The problem with PUTC is that they do not require a secure log in and the site is poorly moderated so that leaves it wide open for trolls and morons.

David Murilee Martin, These Toyota Vans were absolute garbage. As the labor even basic service cost 400% as much as servicing a VW Vanagon or American minivan. A skilled Toyota tech would take about 2.5 hours just to change the air cleaner. Also they also broke often, as they overheated and warped the engine and boiled the automatic transmission...
Marcr My wife and I mostly work from home (or use public transit), the kid is grown, and we no longer do road trips of more than 150 miles or so. Our one car mostly gets used for local errands and the occasional airport pickup. The first non-Tesla, non-Mini, non-Fiat, non-Kia/Hyundai, non-GM (I do have my biases) small fun-to-drive hatchback EV with 200+ mile range, instrument display behind the wheel where it belongs and actual knobs for oft-used functions for under $35K will get our money. What we really want is a proper 21st century equivalent of the original Honda Civic. The Volvo EX30 is close and may end up being the compromise choice.
