DEARBORN, Mich. -- (Business Wire)
Overall Ford Motor Company U.S. sales totaled 208,440 vehicles in
February, a 4 percent decline versus a year ago.
Retail sales of 134,576 vehicles decreased 3 percent, while fleet sales
were down 5 percent, with 73,864 vehicles sold. The fleet decline
reflects a strong year-ago comparison, with customer orders front-loaded
in early 2016.
Overall car sales were down 24 percent, while customers continue to
shift to trucks and SUVs.
Ford brand SUV sales totaled 68,820 vehicles – record February sales –
up 6 percent versus a year ago. Record Escape sales of 27,637 vehicles
and a 48 percent increase in Expedition sales drove the gains.
Ford F-Series was up 9 percent, with 65,956 trucks sold. This represents
F-Series’ best sales since 2004, with all-new Super Duty retail gains
coming from every region of the country.
“We continue seeing strong consumer demand for the highest-series Super
Duty pickups and the all-new F-150 Raptor, plus greater availability of
2017 model year F-150s,” said Mark LaNeve, vice president, U.S.
Marketing, Sales and Service. “This drove a $3,600 increase in average
transaction prices for F-Series last month alone, Lincoln had a $2,100
increase, ultimately delivering an overall company transaction price
increase of $1,900 per vehicle.”
Lincoln sales totaled 8,744 vehicles, a 9 percent increase. Lincoln MKC,
up 12 percent, MKX, up 1 percent, and all-new Continental sales of 1,079
cars fueled the growth.
