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.

28-Cars-Later "The VF 8 has struggled to break ground in the increasingly crowded EV market, as spotty reviews have highlighted deficiencies with its tech, ride quality, and driver assistance features. That said, the price isn’t terrible by current EV standards, starting at $47,200 with leases at $429 monthly." In a not so surprising turn of events, VinFast US has already gone bankrupt.

JMII My wife's next car will be an EV. As long as it costs under $42k that is totally within our budget. The average cost of a new ICE car is... (checks interwebs) = $47k. So EVs are already in the "affordable" range for today's new car buyers.We already have two other ICE vehicles one of which has a 6.2l V8 with a manual. This way we can have our cake and eat it too. If your a one vehicle household I can see why an EV, no matter the cost, may not work in that situation. But if you have two vehicles one can easily be an EV.My brother has an EV (Tesla Model Y) along with two ICE Porsche's (one is a dedicated track car) and his high school age daughters share an EV (Bolt). I fully assume his daughters will never drive an ICE vehicle. Just like they have never watched anything but HiDef TV, never used a land-line, nor been without an iPad. To them the concept of an ICE power vehicle is complete ridiculous - you mean you have to STOP driving to put some gas in and then PAY for it!!! Why? the car should already charged and the cost is covered by just paying the monthly electric bill.So the way I see it the EV problem will solve itself, once all the boomers die off. Myself as part of Gen X / MTV Generation will have drive a mix of EV and ICE.
