The Ford F-150 Is Loved by All—Including ‘The Rock’ and John Mayer

The F-150 comes in seven trims and starts at $27,110, but if you are looking to spice up your truck up, one can creep the price all the way to $65,000. Whatever configuration you choose, the badge, frame and status of the truck stay the same. Plenty of affluent people buy Mercedes-Benz G-Wagens because of the social status associated with them. Many of us at The Drive loath the G65's performance and comfort but recognize people will buy them simple as a status symbol. Many automotive manufacturers bank on selling cars a status symbols long after the car becomes out-of-date. 

The Ford F-150 marches to a very different beat, in fact, the F-150 is the number one selling vehicle in households earning a total income of over $500,000 a year. With four different engine options, cloth or leather seats, and a myriad of other options celebrities like Chris Pratt, John Mayer and Jason Aldean have been proud to park an F-150 in their drive way. 

Rather than rambling on as to why we think the Ford F-150 has found a place in so many people's heart, lets extend the question to our readers. Has Ford done a fantastic job at marketing the F-150 so that it holds no attachments to one socioeconomic class in particular or is the Ford F-150 trim variance so large it can cover the whole spectrum?

Ford has currently sold 429,860 F-Series trucks since January 1st, 2017 and last year Ford sold a total of 820,799 F-Series trucks.
