The Ford Authority Take
While Ford F-Series sales again outpaced that of the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra on an individual basis, GM models combined trounced F-Series deliveries, with the gap continuing to widen – this time by over 47K units. This includes EV models for both automakers.
Yet, on an individual basis, the F-Series still leads, and for 2023 the Ford F-Series retained the best-selling truck crown when counting sales of the F-150, Super Duty, and F-150 Lightning.
“Today, I am thrilled to share a milestone that fills all of us at Ford with immense pride,” wrote Robert Kaffl, director of U.S. sales. “In 2023, more than 700,000 customers chose a new Ford F-Series truck, making it the best-selling truck in the United States for the 47th consecutive year.”
About Ford F-150
This past September, the refreshed 2024 Ford F-150 debuted, featuring a new Pro Access Tailgate and standard EcoBoost. The range-topping Limited has now been replaced by the Platinum Plus, while the STX becomes its own trim level rather than an optional package, and each model receives its own unique styling updates and interior themes. The full 2024 F-150 trim level lineup, then, includes the base model XL along with STX, XLT, Lariat, and King Ranch, plus Platinum and the new range-topping Platinum Plus, joined by the off-road-focused Tremor and Raptor/Raptor R.
Powertrain-wise, the previously standard 3.3L V6 is gone, replaced by the turbocharged Ford 2.7L V6 EcoBoost across the lineup. In an effort to boost sales, the 3.5L V6 PowerBoost hybrid is now a no-cost option over the standard, twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 EcoBoost, as well.
Pricing reveals that the lineup gets more expensive, with the King Ranch being the worst offender, as it’s $10,505 more than the outgoing 2023 model. However, at least buyers wanting the hybrid V6 PowerBoost powertrain can now get it as a no-cost option over the base V6 EcoBoost.
Interestingly, the Ford F-150 Hybrid is among the top 20 cars priced below MSRP, while the average Ford F-150 payment was just under $950 in Q4 2023.
In spite of the multitude of automotive models offered in the market today, the Ford F-150 is still the most common vehicle on the road, accounting for 3.7 percent in the U.S., followed by the Chevy Silverado at 2.7 percent and the Toyota Camry at 2.4 percent.
Meanwhile, the Ford F-150 Raptor R made the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy’s (ACEEE) 2024 GreenerCars “meanest” list for being among the 12 worst performing mass-market models in regards to not only its fuel consumption but also its impact on the environment.
This past year, the Ford F-150 ranked 17th on the 2023 Made In America Index due to its total domestic content of 65 percent.

About Ford F-150 Lightning
For 2024, the Ford F-150 Lightning drops two configurations. Yet, it adds a new Flash trim level, sitting above the XLT trim, as an option that bundles tech upgrades and the extended range battery at a more reasonable price. On the other end of the spectrum, The Blue Oval debuted the Platinum Black trim, with the F-150 Lightning being the first production Ford truck to feature a matte wrap.
The 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning gains ActiveX seating for the Lariat trim, and the entire 2024 lineup gets a heat pump as standard, while dropping Active Park Assist 2.0.
At the beginning of the year, the Ford F-150 Lightning Switchgear debuted as new demonstrator, a performance off-roading EV pickup that channels the spirit of the Raptor that is another collaboration between RTR and Ford Performance.
Recently, the F-150 Lightning won 2023 Five-Year Cost to Own Award from Kelley Blue Book, while a new study from Vincentric found that the 2023 F-150 Lightning is projected to have cheaper operating costs than its ICE equivalent over five years as well.
The F-150 lightning won the 2024 AAA Car Guide Award, recognized as the best pickup truck on the market, specifically referring to the more luxurious Lariat trim, and won the 2024 Best Fleet Value Award from Vincentric.
About Ford Super Duty
A year ago September, the refreshed 2023 Ford Super Duty debuted featuring a new V8 and Pro Power Onboard along with fresh interior and exterior styling.
The 2024 Ford Super Duty arrives with a few small changes. One notable update is that 2024 Super Duty XL and XLT trim levels get Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch features. For 2023, the option was only available on the Lariat trim and up.
The Ford Super Duty was named the 2024 North American Truck of the Year (NATOY) in the North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year (NACTOY) awards, beating out the Chevy Silverado EV and Chevy Colorado. The Blue Oval has won the truck award four years in a row.
The F-250 Super Duty was recognized by iSeeCars as among the longest-lasting vehicles, likely trucking on beyond the 250K mile mark, and unsurprisingly among the top vehicles in operation, as confirmed by Experian’s Q4 2023 Automotive Market Trends report.

Comments
Get rid of the wokesters in Ford’s management team and put a down to earth truck person in there asap. One who appreciates the ICE and can better relate to Ford customers.
If the F-150 continues to sink like this it will take down the company as a whole.
Thate’s what happen when prices get so so high
It has nothing to do with so called wokeness. Ford has done poorly in quality just look at the recalls.
Ford needs to restyle the body on these pickups….its the oldest and dated looking pickup in the market..same doors i think will filt a 2013….they not spending money where they need to…ever time they announce a new 150…and all the drama…you bascially seen same pickup with just grille change and few pecks…Quailty needs to improve as well…
2015+. It normally goes every 10 years full redesign, and every 5 for mid mild so 2026 should be a total redesign. toyota doesnt do anything for around 10 years
Quality, QUALITY. The dealerships are running off customers. No ethics.
Wake UP Ford ! You can paint the pretty picture of the F-150 any way you like but the true fact is your quality stinks and everyone see`s it . What happened to QUALITY IS JOB # 1 ? You boys need to wake up before you loose your vaunted #1 position. Address your quality before it`s to late.
It’s obviously not any one single thing, but a host of issues.
1) Pricing. This can’t be overlooked, MSRPs have gone up and the incentives aren’t there. You used to get 20% off MSRP and 0% for 72 months. Now you’re lucky to get under invoice.
2) Availability. There’s hardly any inventory on the lots, and the vast majority of buyers don’t want to wait weeks for their truck to be built.
3) Quality. It has been going downhill
4) Offerings. Ford dramatically cut the way you can you your truck built. No power running boards on lariat. No v8 on platinum or KR. Not getting to make some pretty critical choices on a $70k plus truck is unacceptable.
Ford has a great truck that is being massively hindered by poor product management.
