How many Ford F-Series are sold each year?
The Ford F-Series is typically the United States’ best-selling pickup, with annual U.S. sales generally around 700,000 units. Exact totals vary by year due to factory availability, demand, and model-year updates.
Understanding the data and what counts as a sale
The numbers most often cited for year-to-year comparisons refer to U.S. sales and are published by Ford in its annual reports and press releases. Some Ford reports also present North America totals, which can differ from pure U.S. figures. For the purpose of this article, the focus is on U.S. sales, the metric most widely used by industry analysts and media.
Recent year-to-year patterns
Below is a snapshot of approximate annual U.S. sales for a recent five-year span. Figures are rounded and based on Ford-reported totals; they illustrate scale and trend rather than exact accounting every year.
- 2019 — about 896,000 units (U.S.)
- 2020 — about 787,000 units (U.S.)
- 2021 — about 726,000 units (U.S.)
- 2022 — about 680,000 units (U.S.)
- 2023 — about 606,000 units (U.S.)
The pattern shown here reflects several converging factors: peak sales in the late 2010s, followed by the COVID-19 era disruptions and ongoing supply-chain constraints that affected production and availability in the early 2020s. Despite fluctuations, the F-Series remains the top-selling pickup in the U.S. for many years.
Why precise yearly figures matter and where to find them
Exact year-by-year totals are best obtained from Ford’s official disclosures, including annual reports, Form 10-K filings, and year-end press releases. Industry trackers and automotive press frequently cite these figures when comparing models or analyzing market trends. For researchers, the primary source remains Ford Motor Company’s published data, which can be accessed through Ford’s investor relations pages and corporate filings.
Summary
In summary, the Ford F-Series generally sells around 700,000 units per year in the United States, with higher totals in the late 2010s and lower figures in years affected by supply constraints in the 2020s. For precise, year-by-year sales figures, consult Ford’s official annual reports and press releases, which provide the authoritative counts and context for each year.
Which F-150 years are worth avoiding?
2004-2008
We recommend avoiding 2004-2008 F150 models due to spark plug ejection issues with the 5.4L V8 engine. The 2015-2016 models, while not bad, had some early aluminum body production quirks that Ford resolved in later years. Always research specific model years and have any used truck inspected before purchase.
