America's 25th-Best-Selling Vehicle In November 2013
America's 20 top-selling vehicles in November 2013, fewer than 10% of the available nameplates, accounted for 38.3% of the U.S. auto industry's sales last month. 

One out of every 20 new vehicles sold was a Ford F-Series pickup truck. 

The F-Series is routinely America's top-selling vehicle line. Its nearest rival, the Chevrolet Silverado, trailed the top-ranked F-Series by 31,115 units in November, after trailing the F-Series by 25,625 units a year ago. 

Trucks were slotted in as America's first, second, fourth, 20th, and 26th-best-selling vehicles in November 2013. Overall, pickup trucks were responsible for 14.1% of the industry's November volume, up from 13.5% in November 2012.
