While there was undoubtedly some consternation among pickup truck traditionalists and industry pundits, it appears Americans like their full-size V6 pickups just fine, thank you. According to *The Wall Street Journal*, [Ford Motor Company](http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) had expected sales of its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6-equipped [F-150 pickups](http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-150/) to represent about 40 percent of its mix, but the turbocharged six-cylinder is on target to be around 45 percent of the mainstay model's sales tally, with sales hitting about 100,000 units in 2011.
Despite the sour economy, *WSJ* notes that sales of Ford's pickups are up around eight percent this year, though that increase trails that of its crosstown rivals at [General Motors](http://www.autoblog.com/tag/general+motors/) and [Ram](http://www.autoblog.com/ram/).
