- The Ford F-150 is the single strongest selling model in the United States. It is also the product that many say keeps the lights on at Ford. While SUVs may be the talk of the automotive industry, competition in the pickup segment has been steadily growing. Ford is also becoming ever more dependent on sales of large SUVs and trucks and on North American customers. Unfortunately for Ford, its Detroit rivals are in a similar position. It also began rolling out the latest generation of its market leading and profit making F-150, which it needs now more than ever.
While the Ford Bronco made news when it returned to Ford dealerships with 2021 models earlier this year, the success of the Ford F-150 has long been important to the company's performance. As of October 14, 2020 Ford stock hovered at around $7.60 per share.

Ford will be fine. Probably has the best future out of the Detroit 3. F-150 is it's cash cow, Mustang is it's star child and the Bronco has the writings of future fan favourite.
They definitely need to keep an eye on FCA (soon to be Stellantis) - their RAM and Jeep brands have always been competitive and unlike GM, FCA still has a significant global presence with cherished brands.
GM is seriously the problem child out of the three. I don't know if the 2008 bailout and ignition switch scandal has been a slow poison but they've got one heck of an uninspiring playbook. Their handling of global brands (the 11 that they've mismanaged/sold-off/or killed), model revivals (Blazer), halo vehicles (Camaro) and key market presence (the 4 major regions they pulled out from) is for me a true reflection of its reputation and not it's title as the largest US car maker.
Anyways, the C8 is a promising offering and the upcoming GMC EV Hummer might propell them in the right direction so I guess time will tell.
Once you said Bronco, I knew you were an idiot

Can i find out the name of the track played in the last segment of the video.
Thanks for this insight into the world of Pick-up trucks. I have owned 6 full size Ford PU's over the years and for the most part I have been happy with the truck. I currently drive a Ranger Lariat that is a nice truck but missing a lot of what makes a Lariat. The Ranger Raptor is a long waited arrival to the US and it is bit confusing as to why Ford is ignoring the sale of the RR. perhaps it would affect the sales of the F 150 where there is more profit. Not sure. The new Bronco should add to the success of Ford overall. There are a lot of comments about the cost of these well equipped trucks, and it is true that the number of people that can afford them is shrinking, at least here in the US. That should also tell us a lot about the current state of the US economy. Thanks again
Ford needs to cut out the dealership middleman and adopt the Tesla business model and sell direct to consumer. More profit for Ford, less expensive vehicles for us.

I can understand why Americans ( and Canadians) buy these trucks. Big, powerful, luxurious, and practical. But nobody outside North America wants full sized trucks or even full sized SUV's. It's somewhat shortsighted for American brands to just give up on cars, imo.
Asian market also into biger car this few years. 7 seater SUV version of this truck, mainly Toyota and Mitsubishi
@John Holst
The truth is that Europeans cannot really afford American trucks because of the taxes on imports to Europe.
Maybe the US needs to apply tariffs on European vehicles just like those on American vehicles.
If Ford were to try and sell a truck in Europe it would be nearly 3 times as expensive as it is in the US.
@@bighands69 Yes, you're right. Taxes are certainly one factor. But also, the size of the roads make it a real headache to drive something so large. And then there's the price of gas! It's not cheap like in the States. There's also the consideration that some countries (Korea for example) add taxes based on the size of the engine and these must be paid each year. US brands are simply not set up to succeed in such environments.
@@den-iq1cv They may sell them. But nobody buys them. Just too burdensome to own the really big ones.
Did I miss it or did they not show the percentage of sales were personal ownership vs. company fleets?
The Ranger is step in right direction but people need a subcompact, maybe hybrid pickup too with 1000 mi range. It’s really simple to enlarge the gas tank to get to 1000, then advertise it, like a gimmick but that gives an edge over other rivals.
If they’d stop with all the gadgets they could lower the price and sell more.
Not true. Automakers, like any smart business, follow the demand of the market. People do not want cheap trucks and they do not buy cheap trucks. My local GMC dealer STILL has a 2019 regular cab base model truck with the base v6 engine sitting on its lot. This truck is the cheapest GMC Sierra you can buy and its done nothing but sit on the lot since LAST WINTER. Trucks are getting more techy and more expensive, yes, but it hasn't hurt sales, in fact, its done just the opposite as more Americans are buying trucks now than ever before. Why? Because that's what the buyer wants. Want proof? The F-150 starts at about $29,000 (which gets you a very basic, bare bones truck... we're talking regular cab, short bed, 4x2, with hand crank windows, manual locks, no cruise control, and a standard 3.3L v6 that is less powerful than the engine in the Nissan Frontier midsize pickup) but the average sale price of the F-150 is $48,000, almost $20,000 more than the base price! Beyond that, a simpler truck with a lower price means lower profits, so even if such a truck did sell better, which all available evidence suggests it would not, it would HAVE to sell better because the auto manufacturer would have to make up for the lower profit per unit sold. Believe me, if the market showed any sizeable and sustainable demand for cheaper, simpler half-ton trucks, then the auto manufacturers would be tripping over themselves to bring such a truck to the market, but that's not the case. You have to understand, cheap and simple trucks sell so poorly among private buyers that Toyota, Nissan, and Ram no longer offer a current generation regular cab work truck and GMC will likely drop there's for the Sierra's 2022 refresh, that will leave only Chevy and Ford still offering a regular cab truck, and of those two Ford is the only one that still offers the regular cab with either a 6.5' bed or an 8' bed, Chevy only offers an 8' bed. The only reason Chevy and Ford still make basic work trucks is because fleets still buy enough of them to justify their existence.
@@dave3682 The market demand is whatever the producers put out on the market. The consumers see it and ask for more. If I can get a reliable car absent of everything except HVAC & power mirrors for cheap price, I'll go for it 100 times more.
@@MarloSoBalJr What? No. Demand cannot be created, it can only be filled. Demand, even if it hasn't been revealed yet, always proceeds a successful product, otherwise the product will fail. This is why you have market researchers who are payed huge stacks of cash to go out and do research to find the demand so that the manufacturer can produce a product to fill it. So no, demand is not created by what producers put on the market because if it's a bad product that there was no preexisting demand for in the first place, it will not sell well. The people want fancy tech and toys so that's what the manufacturer gives them, not the other way around. And the proof for that is, once again, that the cheap and simple trucks that are available do not sell well among private buyers.
@@dave3682 nobody buys the thing because it has a V6 when people say they want a base model truck they still want a truck and the v6 is anything but a truck. Of course Ford is mostly V6 but they have twin turbos the GM V6 does not nobody has much use for that engine in a truck.
then people would whine about not offering this not offering that its a no win situation other than stay ahead of the other guy.

This is a missed opportunity. The domestic automakers make their money on pickups and full size SUVs. The should’ve invested in ev technology a long time ago. They didn’t need to redesign their trucks, just design an electric drive train to fit underneath them. They would’ve sold enough to make it worth while to keep investing in ev technology. That way, in case electric truck sales start to grow you are ahead of the curve. Now it seems the future is heading toward ev’s and they are behind the curve, especially in battery technology. If GM would’ve stuck with their ev program there might not be a Tesla today. But GM’s lack of foresight on ev’s will haunt them forever. They had everything needed to lead the way but technology is the future and GM was mired in the past. When it comes to our domestic automakers, electric vehicles were a wasted opportunity.
You are talking crap. People who drive truck do no want a electric lawn mower. They want America V8 power in all its loud glory.
You can go and buy a tesla but stop with the EV crap and trying to make other trucks into your fantasy we do not want them.
ICYMI Ford has been at the top of the EV game for the past 10 years. The Fusion starting in 2010, the Focus EV, Escape hybrid, Cmax, etc. Hybrid tech that was on par with Toyota then surpassed Toyota. They sold plenty, but not enough to keep them viable. If no market for a product, no reason to make them. They are coming out with an EV truck, already have a Hybrid F150 coming out next year. The problem with any all electric is battery tech, charge rates, and demand. Only now is there some demand for it, but the infrastructure is no where near capable of handling a pickup truck market, batteries to allow any kind of range for a large vehicle are heavy, reducing capable payload as well as towing capacity since you need payload to be able to tow, and no one wants to wait 30-40 minutes to charge the batteries every 200 miles if you can even get that much while towing.
On paper EV pickup is OOH Have to HAVE IT, but reality is, man, this sucks having to charge every 200 miles or less and I can't do as much with it as I can the gas models.
EV are impractical without the infrastructure. Pickup trucks are required to build that infrastructure.

There is a bigger problem for EV and renewables in general that people do not want to recognise and pretend it does not exist.
There simply is not enough copper on earth to have every car in America as electric. There is not enough copper either for wind energy as each turbine takes 6 to 10 tons of copper.
Now it is possible that a new alloy comes along that will do the job but I do not hold my breath as it will take too long.
We don’t want an electric washing machine.
Nothing feels quite like a nice big block V8.
Or in my case, my 94’ 850CSi with a smaller but just as cool V12.
All hail the gasoline engine.
I'm busy ng my first truck that is a 1994 Ford F-150 can't wait to drive it
Over the air updates is nice. Having to take a day off and go to the dealership for a PCM update is a pain.
My 2016 ecoboost is the best truck I’ve ever owned
Too bad the majority of the middle class can't afford a brand new truck from any of the auto giants
You are right. They still buy them though.
that doesnt stop ppl from buying them
@@JogBird no they just go into debt with a 72 month high interest loan
@@jojom6187 it no longer 72 months. They go up to 7 years now.
just buy a used Toyota, half price double reliability
I’ll stick with my 1996 Ford F-150 XLT regular cab, short bed, 4X4, with a 5 speed manual transmission, manual locking hubs and the legendary, bulletproof 4.9 liter inline six cylinder. It has just 83,000 miles on it. I paid $4,000 for it 7 years ago. This truck will out live me.
Having a truck is awesome. My college has the worst parking ever. Having a truck means I can strap in a bike in the back, then get to campus. Instead of having to worry about the horrible circumstances of commute parking, I can just park farther away more reliably and bike the rest of the distance to class. There are alot of other, heavy uses too of course. You wouldn't understand how much you miss a truck's utility until you lose it.
well, all this was pre-pandemic of course. parking is no longer an issue now lmao
Love my 2020 F150. Great truck even though it’s American made.
R.I.P Ford sedans that we’re actually good. 🤣
Fusion and Taurus were nice cars especially the awd models.
I owned a fusion a few years ago, by far the worst and most dangerous car I've ever owned, and it was the newest and lowest milage also.
But do you now get an actual cargo light button?
I’m a proud owner of a 2002 F-150 Supercrew FX4. We took really great care of it and it has never let us down! I’m very excited about the newer trucks and hope to get one someday in the future. I may be biased, but when I get another truck, I know I can trust Ford!
Its crazy how many farmers and construction tradesmen are in this country
Trucks are no longer just for people in the trades.
America is that land of the hardworking men :) love to see all them farmers and tradesmen!
And the funny thing is, is we actually have a major shortage of tradesworkers. Kids are told to go to college for some worthless communications degree or what not instead of apprenticing at a trade, free of debt, building tomorrow’s world.
@@TellurdogIsayhi you could say that again
They really messed up when they stopped making sedans, the Ford Fusion and Focus were selling very well, now sedan buyers will be running to Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Hyundai. Ford always gives up on their cars and let's the quality of them dissolve instead of improving their models and standing by them....they have no loyalty to their own products the way Toyota has stood buy the Camry and Honda stood with the Accord, even when sales weren't the best Japan kept the product selling and improved....Ford destroyed the Taurus in 1996 and made it a joke they never recovered from that....once the best selling vehicle in America now it's gone.
They weren’t selling well, which is why they were discontinued.
They weren't selling cause they weren't reliable. Thing breaking left and right. I work at a ford dealer
@@residentevil9894 i heard about the transmission problems with the focus and Fiesta and water pump issues with the v6s, but were the Fusions junk? I was just wondering sir. I actually thought they were decent vehicles.
Ford is stopping production of cars because they are almost bankrupt. The future is electric and Ford knows they are behind and maybe missed it. They are trying to squeak out whatever cash they can from SUV's and trucks, but ultimately all efforts will be futile if they cannot produce an electric vehicle that competes with Tesla. This is likely their catch 22. They know they need to go electric but they do not have the know-how of how to do it well enough. Remember Ford, GM both were bankrupt in 2008 and were bailed out then, which was the first year Tesla was in existence.
If we take history as an example, when major industries are disrupted, it is typically from outside the industry. For example, Nokia did not create the iPhone. Apple made the iPhone and at the time was not a phone maker at all. Now Nokia is not around and Apple is one of the biggest manufacturers of phones. Same thing with Blockbuster and Netflix. Same thing when Ford entered the market of horse transportation.
GM's CEO is open about the future being electric and they actually have some stuff on the way. Unfortunately a free market economy doesn't care about brand or the past. The Market cares about better technology and cost. EV's are the future whether anyone wants it or not. Tesla is here. Other car makers will either compete or they will be gone.
@@spencerpeterson8477 What your saying definitely makes sense and I do agree with most of it, but my issue with for is that instead of improving the quality of the product and bringing in top notch engineers they often scrap the car or rename it with the same low quality engineering. Now to me the Fusion was a really good car that sold pretty well especially among corporate fleets and we know American car companies depend or rental fleets and civil service vehicle sales...but if you look now there's more imports supplying fleet vehicles...Hertz has more Toyotas now then ever before when at one point you could only get a Ford a Hertz...I think they should have just improved the cars. Mr. Peterson you definitely made a valid point with the electronic vehicles Ford is way behind.

@@kanenolting5466 you have to own an electric car to understand. Charging at home is a game changer, my car drivers 350 miles before i need to charge it and i only drive 50 miles a day. Takes about 6 hours to fully charge to I charge over night, the cyber truck is supposed to get 500+ miles to the charge.
Calculate the range on a cybertruck towing 5000 pounds. Then do it in the north during winter. It's a southern California suburban vehicle.
I have always been a huge fan of Ford pickups and SUVs. I have one that is an assembled vehicle a 1951 body on a 3/4 ton 4×4 hiboy chassis that I built myself, a 1978 F150 2 wheel drive, a 1981 F250 4x4 with a 300ci 4.9L inline six and a 4 speed totally bulletproof, and what I call my miracle vehicle. a 1985 Bronco II that I have driven for over twenty years without having to do a single sizable repair to just maintenance. I know it's going to need some work done on it soon but it just keeps going. I have owned a lot of vehicles in my life from a lot of different manufactures but nothing has been like that one. I would really like to have a F150 lightning when they become available. but know I will never be able to afford one. so I guess I will have to be satisfied with the ones I have. not such a problem for they are very good trucks. and I will continue my love of Ford trucks for their incredible reliability and durability no doubt.
I love my F150 it is honestly the best vehicle I’ve ever owned! I work with horses it has more than enough power for me to do what I needed to do and looks good while doing it
See this exact video everytime a new f150 comes out
🥰
My favorite truck is on the video
Just got a stx so happy with it
Yeab at 40 grand on the low end for a ton of features most of us don't need we can dig cameras gas mileage and towing but at rhe price they charge for trucks its pretty hard to justify
I miss when a truck was a truck, meant for work, not for luxury.

Nostalgic eye candy... Not a game changer.
The current F150 is a competent truck, but the interiors are almost agrarian compared to the RAM models. Ford is also very stingy when it comes to equipment as well. The XLT and Bighorn/Lonestar are priced similarly, but the latter has more standard features.
Performance > interrior
I wish they would put better, bigger speakers in the doors (even the base truck)
My personal vehicle is a 1984 F150 4x4 4 speed, all stock except for slightly heavier lug tires. AC works, original paint job, and the only mod I might make this next year is to swap the gearbox out for a ZR-5 5 speed manual so I can have overdrive. After that, I have no problem keeping this thing, and repairing it as needed, for another 30 - 40 years. Whoever was in the engineering department in the early 80's did a good job. It's easy to repair, and for the price of a new one, I could rebuild this thing 50 times over, so.. I'm good!
