The F150 is the best selling truck for 46 years straight
The F150 is also the most sold vehicle for 41 years straight
People like their oversized vehicles, price/mileage/etc be damned
They can always put some stickers on fuel pumps and bitch about Biden and blame him for their bad decisions.
i see this image a lot in public parking.
you mentioned Biden so I assume you mean this
its legally incentivized, this video explains it really well and is my source.
It's also worth considering how much of those sales come from companies buying fleets of them. Slightly different monster than private consumers.
Years ago when I worked for a dealer one of the salesman pointed out it's the "F series" which includes everything with the F all the way up to delivery / commercial trucks. Nothing is going to touch the volume of all of those different categories of sales combined.
Still suspect the F150 numbers are pretty good.
The new ones use a smaller turbo motor that is more fuel efficient.
Kind of a 'lipstick on a pig' situation there haha
