Bakersfield Area Ford Dealer Offers Top-Selling F-150

A Bakersfield area Ford dealer is proud to offer the ever-popular 2012 Ford F-150. An industry analyst’s report recently found that the capable pickup is one of the most profitable vehicles in the market.

As one of the most capable and fuel-efficient pickup trucks in the market, the 2012 version of the Ford F-150 only enhances its best attributes in the new model. A leading Bakersfield area Ford dealer is proud to offer the ever-popular F-150, which was recently placed at the top of the list for the “12 Most Profitable Cars.”

According to an industry analyst’s report, profits for the Ford F-150 are estimated around $50 billion since 1995. The study was led by Max Warburton, an auto industry researcher at London’s Bernstein Research. “There has been no greater profit machine in the history of the industry than the F-series,” he said.

Warburton and his group of researchers set out to estimate which vehicles were the biggest money makers for each auto brand. He admits it’s difficult to reach an exact verdict as many car manufacturers typically don’t share such information. Warburton estimates, however, that if they did, the F-series would take the top spot without a doubt.

With a winning combination of consistent high sales, simple engineering and customers’ desire to buy upgraded versions of the truck, the F-150 enjoys a high volume of sales with every new model released. Visalia Ford is proud to offer the top-selling Ford F-150 at the Bakersfield area Ford dealer.
