Ford may build tough cars, but it got some tough news on Tuesday.
There’s a new king of the road.
The Detroit auto giant’s flagship F-150 pickup is no longer the top-selling vehicle in the U.S., according to a report from Experian Automotive.
The popular truck was unseated by the Toyota Camry, which overcame supply shortages due to last year’s tsunami in Japan, several parts recalls and the risk of a design overhaul.
Toyota sold 209,000 Camrys from January to June this year, outselling F-150s by just 7,000 vehicles, Experian said.
The F-150 had been No.1 and the Camry ranked second in the first six months of 2011.
Honda Civic was a distant third this year, with 158,000 sold.
Experian, which based its findings on new vehicle registration figures, also found that midrange cars were the highest-selling category this year, with 27.4% of all sales, led by the Camry.
