Ford extended its market dominance in trucks again in 2018 with more than 1.075 million F-Series sold globally.
Using average U.S. transaction pricing of $46,700, F-Series estimated sales revenue of $50 billion would be greater than the 2018 revenues of Fortune 500 companies including Oracle, American Express or Best Buy


DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 12, 2019 – It would take more than eight hours in a commercial jet flying more than 500 miles per hour to travel the full length, parked bumper-to-bumper, of all the Ford F-Series trucks sold globally in 2018 as the company marks 42 years as America’s best-selling truck and 37 years as America’s best-selling vehicle. During that flight, Ford would have sold nearly 1,000 more F-Series trucks.

“From Ranger to Transit, we’re proud and honored to help our global truck and commercial vehicle customers get the job done around the planet,” said Jim Farley, Ford executive vice president and president, Global Markets. “But it’s our F-Series juggernaut that leads the world in sales, capability and smart technology, setting the bar others follow.”

...

Ford sold more than 1.075 million F-Series trucks globally in 2018, averaging a sale every 29.3 seconds. Lined bumper-to-bumper, F-Series trucks would stretch more than 4,000 miles – greater than the distance from Dallas to Honolulu.

Average price of 47K for a f*n truck?

You can get a nicely equipped F150 x-cab for around 28 street price but the high-end F250/350/550s can run in the 70s to over 100k, so the average is high

I ordered my next F150 a couple weeks ago. Should be here 3rd week in February. I hope the one I have now was just a lemon and all of the issues have been resolved. I've had nothing but trouble with one. It is my fifth F150 and had no major issues until this one. It is something different every week. The entire truck is making a groaning noise when you slow down under around 7 mph. I'm not even going to worry about. Had all of the console GPS unit replaced. The new one has no idea where it is either. Nav works for around 14 miles, then it goes all over. I drove 135 miles home this AM. While in my drive-way, the screen showed I was off-road by a community about 90 miles North of my house. I drove straight East the entire way home.

That sucks, Tim. Lemon laws (Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act) might help but who has the time and needs the aggravation to go through that! Hopefully the dealer is doing the right thing on the replacement.

Just curious, did you consider the new Ranger? So far the little bit of feedback I'd read about was very good indeed.
