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

The Ford F-150 truly has no socioeconomic status. As the number one selling vehicle in the United States, it isn't surprising to here the [Ford F-150](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/11729/the-ford-f-150-xlt-supercrew-4x4-finds-a-sweet-spot>) is beloved in this country, but the actual extent of that love often goes unnoticed. The best way to describe this is by illustrating the wide variety of people that own a Ford F-150.

The F-150 comes in seven trims and [starts at $27,110](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/7959/can-you-have-a-600-horsepower-ford-f-150-for-less-than-40000>), 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](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/6756/soylent-green-mercedes-amg-g65-is-the-center-of-attention>) 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 Many automotive manufacturers bank on selling cars a status symbols long after the car becomes out-of-date.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](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/7996/the-ford-f-150-is-the-chariot-of-choice-for-rich-people>). 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](<https://fordauthority.com/fmc/ford-motor-company-sales-numbers/ford-sales-numbers/ford-f-series-sales-numbers/>) since January 1st, 2017 and last year Ford sold a total of 820,799 F-Series trucks.
