Why is the Ford F Series the most popular vehicle in America? Is it the best car of all time?

do we have a source for this claim about ford? it's the first time I've heard of it, and I know a few business owners with fleets of their own.

None off hand but it's blatantly evident with their business model and if you talk to anyone who's stocked a fleet through a "commercial" or "fleet sales" dealership they'll tell you there's huge discounts. For reference in my hometown there's one standard Ford dealership and two commercial/fleet Ford dealerships. It's where Ford puts most of it's focus because negotiating a contract for anywhere from a dozen to a hundred trucks is pretty easy when you've got monopoly light and medium duty commercial truck dealerships in a lot of areas. Convincing such a customer to buy through you is often far easier than convincing a customer to buy a single new $80k king ranch through you when there's a GM dealership across the street with a new High Country.

When's the last time you saw a GMC or Dodge dealership dedicated to fleet sales and base model commercial trucks?

there's a GM fleet sales location about 5 minutes from my house, right next to the ford one.

Really? I've yet to see one. I knew they had a few of them but they're not nearly as common as the Ford lots. If you live around the corner from one I can see why you'd be doubtful of what I was saying.

See if they've got any of those new 1 ton Suburbans that are only available to fleet customers. I've yet to see one in person but a few are popping up online here and there.

the GM dealer mostly sells vans and box trucks. They're currently filling the lot with Coke wrapped vans, must have been a big sale

Well rust is another.

I have no idea anymore, I just think it's personal preference for the buyer. That does not include fleet sales.

They tend to gravitate more towards chevrolets and rams since they look more masculine and are slightly less common than fords, giving them some weird sense of hipster-hick satisfaction

No it's not the best.
Actually, in terms of trucks, they're one of the worst.
So why do they sell?
Because they're cheap. Ford undercuts the competition on price with similar feature content. This would be fine if their vehicles were reliable. You have to remember a majority of those are fleet sales. Fleet sales are usually order by a beancounter who knows nothing about vehicles but wants the most feature content for a given price that can do what the company needs. They don't ever take into account money lost because the truck is in the shop getting repaired. That's what warranties are for.

In all honesty, GM trucks are the best simply because they offer similar features to the Ford, similar capability, but are a million times more reliable. They're the Toyota of the truck world since actual Toyota trucks can't do any actual work.

A Hilux and a Tacoma/Tundra are NOT the same thing, not even the same engines. The Tacoma/Tundra are comfy on the road but suck for work due to their weak and rust-prone C-channel frames

The most innovative truck would have to be the Ram 1500 though Reliability is better than Ford, it's worse than Chevy.

The post

The South will not rise again. Sorry to disappoint.

>Why is the Ford F Series the most popular vehicle in America?
Because they sold out and use PAID ACTORS to advertise their trucks.

Your post is literally the opposite from the truth.

Ford makes better trucks than either dodge or gm statistically.

Ford trucks are more expensive than gm trucks

gm uses cheaper materials in both the body/frame and the engine, that's why gm is cheaper.

The only reason anyone even considers a dodge 2500+ is because of the cummins, it has nothing to do with dodge itself, unless for some brand-loyalty bullshit

Mostly fleet sales like people are saying but from the 40s to the early 80s they were the best trucks on the road. They have a huge heritage, larger than the mustang

>Your post is literally the opposite from the truth.
spoken like someone with no experience with trucks.

look up fleet prices. More Fords are sold to fleets than GM.

someones trying too hard

>More Fords are sold to fleets than GM.
This is true

But I wasn't talking about fleet prices. If fleet prices are cheaper, that has nothing to do at all with the consumer market.

You are the one who has no experience with trucks. Maybe you work at a company that owns some trucks, you might even drive a work truck. But that doesn't count as "experience with trucks" and this second post makes it even more obvious that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Are you even over 18? I bet not.

But he always will, so there is no real reason to even reply to him.

The kind of liberal cuck who assumes that everyone that drives a truck is running around with the stars and bars isn't going to listen to logic. He's just a typical nu-male/sjw/feminist/etc, etc.

At work we have a 06 F550, and a '10 F550. Both have over 300k.

Other than the newer Ford's engine blowing its load a few months ago (10k to replace) both have lasted longer on the road than three newer ('13/15/16) Dodges.

The Dodges have terrible steering, heating/cooling, and the interiors are shit tier.

I personally have a '99 f250 with 380k, full stock. But a coworker has a 1500 with 287k, and it drives much better.

GMC a shit.

96 t100 with over 300k as my work truck, truly bulletproof.

This is the most popular sedan in America. This is the king of sedans.

Why do other sedans even try?
