I think the F150 is a huge part of their income w/o a doubt....probably the majority. Other than that, i'd say fleet vehicles. Without the 2, then i think the company would fail. The numbers sold are absurd. I remember comparing the # of F150s sold last year to the number of Civics and couldn't believe the differences. If I recall, ford sold more F150s than honda sold of all models combined...or something crazy like that. I'll try to find #s
fleet vehicles, aftermarket support.
the f150 is their biggest seller ... in the US. they still have strong overseas markets in passenger vehicles. the f150 is not the sole reason ford is still around.
you're talking about the company that pioneered the assembly line, the company that throught the 1900's had one of the strongest agricultural lines there were.
ford did not make 800 mil in profits off that last report because of their fseries trucks alone. id say its a big part but def not the majority
it's my D in a B

I've been looking for a 4-door Taco, and there pretty much aren't any under $15k, and $20k is more or less the going rate. We're talking for a 6 year old truck with 100k on the clock.
