Keep those Benzes, BMWs and Audis in the garage, son: $50,000-plus trucks and SUVs are where it's at for the ballers and players these days.
TrueCar says trucks and SUVs account for six of the top 10 best-selling vehicles in the United States market, specifically the segment where transaction prices of $50,000-plus are the norm.
The biggest of them all? The Ford F-150, whose projected 2014 volume of 189,776 "will likely surpass total U.S. volume of luxury car benchmarks including BMW's combined 3, 5 and 7 Series sales or total deliveries for the Audi brand this year." The Blue Oval will see revenue of $10.8 billion from those high transactions, making up a third of an estimated $33.2 billion for the overall F-Series portfolio.
The demand for looking California and feeling Minnesota is helped in part by a recovering U.S. economy, improved vehicle quality, and a growing supply of cheap gasoline, which is helping the $50,000-plus transaction segment, as well: approximately 8.1 percent of total 2014 sales will transact at that level, up from 6.6 percent in 2013.
Finishing out the podium per TrueCar is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram truck lineup, with sales of 76,266 at the $50,000 transaction level, Mercedes taking third with its E-Class at 67,006.
