The Ford F-Series has claimed the title of best-selling vehicle in the U.S. for the last 43 years, showcasing a long-standing affection for full-size pickups. However, the trend of increasing SUV sales paints a different picture within the automotive landscape. SUVs became the top-selling vehicle segment in the U.S. in 2015, with significant growth in their market share, especially in the last decade. Features like comfort, fuel efficiency, and the versatility for family use contributed to their rise, while regional preferences shape consumer choices across the country.
"For much of the second half of the twentieth century, SUVs - or sport utility vehicles - were relegated to a niche market... Automakers began expanding the SUV's appeal as family vehicles and daily drivers."
"By the late 1990s, SUVs such as the Ford Explorer... and the Jeep Cherokee, had proliferated American suburbs as roomier, more capable alternatives to the family sedan or station wagon."
