Kelley Blue Book: Ford F-Series Dominates America In State By State Breakdown

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.

Analoggrotto Does anyone seriously listen to this?
Thomas Same here....but keep in mind that EVs are already much more efficient than ICE vehicles. They need to catch up in all the other areas you mentioned.
Analoggrotto It's great to see TTAC kicking up the best for their #1 corporate sponsor. Keep up the good work guys.
John66ny Title about self driving cars, linked podcast about headlight restoration. Some relationship?
Jeff JMII--If I did not get my Maverick my next choice was a Santa Cruz. They are different but then they are both compact pickups the only real compact pickups on the market. I am glad to hear that the Santa Cruz will have knobs and buttons on it for 2025 it would be good if they offered a hybrid as well. When I looked at both trucks it was less about brand loyalty and more about price, size, and features. I have owned 2 gm made trucks in the past and liked both but gm does not make a true compact truck and neither does Ram, Toyota, or Nissan. The Maverick was the only Ford product that I wanted. If I wanted a larger truck I would have kept either my 99 S-10 extended cab with a 2.2 I-4 5 speed or my 08 Isuzu I-370 4 x 4 with the 3.7 I-5, tow package, heated leather seats, and other niceties and it road like a luxury vehicle. I believe the demand is there for other manufacturers to make compact pickups. The proposed hybrid Toyota Stout would be a great truck. Subaru has experience making small trucks and they could make a very competitive compact truck and Subaru has a great all wheel drive system. Chevy has a great compact pickup offered in South America called the Montana which gm could make in North America and offered in the US and Canada. Ram has a great little compact truck offered in South America as well. Compact trucks are a great vehicle for those who want an open bed for hauling but what a smaller more affordable efficient practical vehicle.
