It’s also worth noting that adding up sales volume of GM’s two trucks – the Silverado and Sierra – results in 173,114 combined deliveries for a 33 percent share. That’s nearly 18,059 units less than the F-Series, despite two different trucks and two entirely different dealer distribution networks.

The full-size pickup truck segment contracted an average of 20 percent to 520,483 units during Q4 2021, meaning that Ford F-Series sales outperformed the segment average overall.

Below, we are also providing Honda Ridgeline sales for informational purposes, since the model straddles the midsize and full-size pickup truck segments.

The Ford Authority Take

Despite the single-digit drop in Ford F-Series sales during Q4 2021, it is encouraging to see Ford’s full-size truck line remain in first place. The performance isn’t all that surprising, given that the best-selling Ford F-150 and Ford Super Duty have continued to impress owners and stack up their accolades.

Such awards include earning Vincentric’s 2022 Best CPO Value in America Award, with the F-150 being one of the most considered pickups in the U.S. The F-150 also recently scored third in its segment in J.D. Power’s 2022 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), and was also the fourth most leased vehicle during Q4 2021.

The Super Duty has also earned its fair share of praise as the third most considered truck during the fourth quarter of 2021, while the F-250 won a 2022 Best CPO Value Award in the 3/4 ton truck segment. In addition, the 2022 Ford F-Series lineup earned a Kelley Blue Book 2022 Best Resale Value Award.

These recognitions might stem as a result of the all-new, 14th-generation Ford F-150 which launched early in 2021. The vehicle was overhauled from bow to stern for the 2021 model year, giving The Blue Oval a significantly more modern and competitive offering in the segment.
