Ford F-Series tops U S auto sales despite 2008 drop
Ford’s F-Series remains the best selling new vehicle in the United States for 2009, even as full size F-150 sales fall about 26 percent from 2008. The redesign replaces V-6 with V-8 engines and six speed automatics, improving fuel economy and ride. Pricing starts at 22 070 dollars for a base 2009 F-150 Regular Cab 4X2, while rivals Chevy Silverado and Dodge Ram begin around 20 000 to 26 000 in base MSRP.
