Totally crazy how many trucks get sold every year. The top 3 vehicle are all trucks, with an aggregate sales of 1,815,166 trucks sold in 2021 between the F-150, Ram, and Silverado pickups.

That's a lot of trucks.

I wonder if the introduction of the F-150 Lightening will eat into the regular F-150's 44-year reign at the top of the heap?

Chevy Equinoix was a suprise to be on list

It helps when you have construction companies that contract for 10,000 at a time.

And I’d have to think those companies have a lot of data to draw on about what vehicles work best for their fleet needs, too. They don’t make these decisions on a whim. They are analyzed for years.

Which speaks highly for the reliability of those full-size trucks.

f150 has long been the vehicle of choice for the wealthy, too. top seller for incomes of $200k+ and $500k+. They're workhorses.

I don't know if they will be able to release enough yet to impact the regular F-150's standing. Didn't Ford just close down their signup for Lightning registrations until a couple of years from now? Maybe in future years electric will take over. There's also the Rivian.

The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra are same vehicle with different badging. Combined sales are 768,698 which is almost double of the highest selling foreign vehicle which is a Toyota.

It is an expensive Truck. I spoke to someone who did a lot of consulting work at GM and he explained folks in places like Texas live in their truck. Often they don’t go to college, save up to buy a brand new loaded US made pick up truck and do their construction type job out of truck. The seven year GM zero percent loans that were common were a life saver. Reliability is huge. Trucks are used often for 20 years and/or 500k miles and by far many a blue collar workers biggest first purchase. It is not a DC thing but in Montana,Texas, Etc it is

Yeah, many dads in my UMC neighborhood fancy themselves wannabe rednecks even though they work in finance and IT and their truck never leaves a paved road or has any cargo. Its so cringey.

No, cringey is your white Range Rover, Tesla or Audi Q-series.

Many pick-ups are able to be written off as a business expense. When it is "free" you make different choices.
