No big surprise here. The Ford F-Series is laying claim to the title of best-selling truck in America for a 48th year in a row. Ford says the F-Series is also the nation's top-selling vehicle overall for the 43rd straight year.

Ford may have sold 765,649 examples of the F-Series in the US last year, but GM's combined Silverado and Sierra sales totaled 884,998 trucks

It's an impressive streak spanning half a century. Ford's ability to innovate and offer diverse truck powertrain options leads the way.

Ford (NYSE: F) sold 765,649 F-Series pickups last year, up 2%. This made it the best-selling truck in America for 48 years. (Ford launched it in 1948.) It is also 37% of Ford’s sales for 2024, which shows how dependent Ford is on one gas-powered model line.

Ford (F) posted a strong fourth quarter US report, one that capped off a strong year for the Dearborn, Mich.-based automaker. Ford said US sales in Q4 rose 8.8% versus a year ago, powered by F-Series sales that jumped 21.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the vehicles' fuel pumps may fail and cause a loss of power, increasing the risk of a crash.
