The Ford F-150 is once again the best-selling car in the US.

After losing its place as America's best-selling pickup truck, the 150 Ford F-2021 takes the throne from the Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado. The F-150 sold 55,000 more units than its competitors.

In the second quarter of 2021, he was overthrown by both and. Those other models of pickups, frankly, could not even think that they could suppress the king for a long time. After the third quarter of the year, the Ford F-150 returns to its rightful place in the top. As the cars suffer from inventory shortages, it makes sense for the F-Series to take the lead. F-series pickups have been America's best-selling vehicles for over 40 years., and the streak hasn't ended yet.

How did Ford increase sales during the microchip shortage?

One of the best ways to increase sales in the midst of a microchip shortage is to launch a new product. This year Ford releases F-150 with hybrid powertrain. For the first time, these loyal Ford customers can save on gas while maintaining the same versatility that Ford trucks offer. The blue oval company, like everyone else, had issues with chip shortages, and that remained true for most of 2021. That's when Ford fell behind its competitors in truck sales.

In the last quarter of the year Ford sales bounced back and make up for lost time. Ford sold more than 172,000 trucks between July and September, according to Kelley Blue Book. That's 55,000 more than any of his rivals, putting him back at the top. Sales for the same period a year ago were % higher. As long as Ford beats the competition, it wins.

Can the Ford F-150 keep its crown?

We hope the crown of the truck stays in place. It can even move down the line to a new location. Previously, in the small truck segment, Ford hadn't won with its single Ranger offering. Toyota Tacoma has been a leader in this truck segment for quite some time now. A hybrid compact pickup will be launched next year, bringing with it a lot of competition. It is loaded with features and capabilities while offering exceptional fuel economy and an even better price.

The appearance of the F-150 Lightning predicts sales success

In addition to the new Ford Maverick Hybrid, . We can say with confidence that this all-electric pickup truck will sell well because has already received over 100,000 bookings. The Lightning also follows the same pattern as the Maverick and is touted as one of the cheapest starter trucks in its class. This price only gets better when you look at other electric pickup prices and the ton of features included with the Ford Lightning.

Ford F-series trucks have proven their worth time and time again. Against all odds, no vehicle outsells its competitors in more than four decades by a single accident. Buyers across America love the Ford F-150 and other F-series pickups. We're not particularly surprised that the F-150 once again outperforms its rivals, and with even more new launches, we don't think there's much room for competition.
