The article did say “America’s top selling vehicle”. The F150 was the top selling vehicle (including SUVs, sedans etc.) and was reported as such, now it is the Toyota.
A service based economy does not need many pickup trucks. Try to find something Made in USA in Walmart.
SUV’s are more apropos in a service based economy. I love my Chevy Trax SUV. I can haul a large recliner home from store with the hatchback design.
