Ford is claiming the best-selling truck title for its F-Series lineup in the U.S. for the 46th consecutive year.
The automaker said it sold over 640,000 units in 2022, which also makes it the best-selling vehicle overall.
Ford's tally includes a range of F-Series models from the F-150 to F-550 commercial truck and counts the electric Ford F-150 Lightning among them.
Ford will release the exact figure with its full sales report on Thursday, a day after most other automakers are expected to report.

"The Ford truck team’s ability to anticipate customer needs, continuously innovate, and provide best-in-class levels of capability and performance has helped make F-Series the sales leader time and time again," Kumar Galhotra, president of the Ford Blue division that oversees its internal combustion engine models, said in a press release.
"We’re honored and humbled that our customers have helped us achieve this milestone for more than four decades."
