Ford F-150 top-selling vehicle for members of U.S. military
(May 21, 2015) The Ford F-150 is the top-selling vehicle for members of the United States military — across all branches — according to an analysis of former and active-duty military personnel using United Services Automobile Association’s car buying service. This is the latest in a series of achievements for the toughest, smartest, most capable and efficient F-150 ever.
The men and women who defend our country operating jets, tanks and destroyers share more than a sense of duty — they also drive Ford F-150. This trend follows overall nationwide sales of Ford F-Series pickup as America’s top-selling truck for 38 consecutive years and best-selling vehicle for 33 consecutive years.
The trend follows overall nationwide sales as the F-Series pickup was the top seller for the 38th straight year.
“You go way, way back to Ford being the manufacturer that first built a vehicle for ‘every man,’ so to speak, a vehicle that everyone can afford, right?” says Eric Lyman, vice president for industry insights at TrueCar. “That tends to resonate with the American public. I clearly see that in its approach with the F-Series.”
“We’ll be watching to see how our members feel about the new aluminum body (Ford F-150) and two brand-new engines. It certainly could prove to help on gas,” says Steve Harrison, executive director of Auto Circle at USAA. “We advocate that our members take into consideration the total cost of owning their vehicle when purchasing.”
