Pickup Trucks Outsell Cars for the First Time

America’s favorite full-size pickup, the 2020 Ford F-150 is the tough, smart and capable partner that suits every need from die-hard work truck to trail bashing pre-runner.

Pickup trucks outsold the entire car segment in April, according to a report from Bloomberg, marking the first time the pickup segment has completely outsold coupes, sedans and hatchbacks.

Outselling cars by 17,000 units, the report largely cites increased vehicle deliveries in middle America, as well as the low interest rates currently offered by manufacturers, both of which can be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, last month’s final numbers could point to a larger trend that could see trucks, crossovers and SUVs dominating the market for a long time to come.
