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.

Tassos What was the last time we had any good news from Ford? (or GM for that matter?)The last one was probably when Alan Mulally was CEO. Were you even born back then?Fields was a total disaster, then they go hire this clown from Toyota's PR department, the current Ford CEO, Fart-ley or something.He claims to be an auto enthusiast too (unlike Mary Barra who is even worse, but of course always forgiven, as she is the proud owner of a set of female genitals.
Tassos I know some would want to own a collectible Mustang. (sure as hell not me. This crappy 'secretary's car' (that was exactly its intended buying demo) was as sophisticated (transl. : CRUDE) as the FLintstone's mobile. Solid Real Axle? Are you effing kidding me?There is a huge number of these around, so they are neither expensive nor valuable.WHen it came out, it was $2,000 or so new. A colleague bought a recent one with the stupid Ecoboost which also promised good fuel economy. He drives a hard bargain and spends time shopping and I remember he paid $37k ( the fool only bought domestic crap, but luckily he is good with his hands and can fix lots of stuff on them).He told me that the alleged fuel economy is obtained only if you drive it like a VERY old lady. WHich defeats the purpose, of course, you might as well buy a used Toyota Yaris (not even a Corolla).
MRF 95 T-Bird Back when the Corolla consisted of a wide range of body styles. This wagon, both four door and two door sedans, a shooting brake like three door hatch as well as a sports coupe hatchback. All of which were on the popular cars on the road where I resided.
Wjtinfwb Jeez... I've got 3 Ford's and have been a defender due to my overall good experiences but this is getting hard to defend. Thinking the product durability testing that used to take months to rack up 100k miles or more is being replaced with computer simulations that just aren't causing these real-world issues to pop up. More time at the proving ground please...
Wjtinfwb Looks like Mazda put more effort into sprucing up a moribund product than Chevy did with the soon to be euthanized '24 Camaro.
