The Blue Oval has long held the title of selling America’s favorite line of pickups – the Ford F-Series – but it’s also been a popular maker of vans as well. Over the past couple of years, the automaker’s U.S.-based pickup/van lineup has only grown too, adding the Ford Maverick, the Ford Ranger, and the Ford E-Transit to that mix, with more in the works over the coming years. Thus, it might not come as a surprise to learn that Ford became the best-selling truck and van manufacturer in the U.S. in the first quarter of the year, as the company revealed in its Q1 2023 sales report.

Nice numbers for sure. Good on Ford.
Ford now has to add van sales to their totals to compete with GM. Ford is a joke
Vans sales were also included in GM sales also. Maybe read the sales charts before you make a comment !.
