Most F-150 sales are fleet purchases by utilities, construction companies, highway departments, etc. That's why the numbers are so high. If you looked at private party purchases they would be much lower.

>50% of the F-150s sold are their top tier, premium models (Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum). There are zero fleets that buy these models. This excludes the millions of lower models bought to pull boats and carry egos. Which is how the average selling price is greater than $45,000 now (which, again, is far beyond what fleets are buying for service trucks).

A couple things about the F-150:
1) It is absolutely true that they sell more retail trucks than fleet trucks
2) I was merely pointing out that it wouldn't be the most popular vehicle on the market without the fleet sales
3) This has nothing to do with my original point and I probably shouldn't even have responded to it
