USAA: F-150 Best-Selling Vehicle Among US Military
2015 Ford F-150
For nearly four decades, Ford’s F-Series has been the preferred choice of not just American truck shoppers, but all American vehicle shoppers in general. Given that the F-Series and its crowing jewel—the F-150—are readily-identifiable symbols of the American automotive industry, and that Ford is a quintessential American brand through and through, it comes as little surprise that a study conducted by the United Services Automobile Association found that the F-150 is the best-selling vehicle among active and former members of the United States military.
“You go way, way back to Ford being the manufacturer that first built a vehicle for ‘every man,’ so to speak, a vehicle that everyone can afford, right?” says Eric Lyman, vice president for industry insights, TrueCar®.
“That tends to resonate with the American public. I clearly see that in its approach with the F-Series.”
