DEARBORN, Mich. -- (Business Wire)
Ford Motor Company posted a 15 percent sales increase in the U.S. in
January, with sales of 178,351 vehicles. Retail sales of 128,666
vehicles marked a 13 percent increase, providing the best retail January
results since 2004.
Retail passenger car sales were up 6 percent, utilities saw a 10 percent
increase, and trucks gained 23 percent.
“Customer demand is strong for our newest vehicles, driving retail sales
gains across our lineup in January,” said Erich Merkle, U.S. sales
analyst. “Momentum is especially strong for our F-Series pickup, with
the all-new F-150 the hottest product on our dealer lots in January.”
F-Series, America’s best-selling truck for the 38th straight
year, posted sales gains of 17 percent in January, with 54,370 trucks
sold last month. This was F-Series’ best January sales volume since 2004
– an all-time annual record sales year for F-Series.
Part of F-Series’ strength is the all-new F-150. It is the toughest,
smartest, most capable F-150 ever, with best-in-class payload, towing
and gasoline fuel economy and recently named 2015 North American Truck
of the Year. It is averaging just 12 days on dealer lots. High-end
Platinum and King Ranch F-150 are turning even faster, averaging just 9
and 10 days on dealer lots, respectively.
Transit Connect sales also increased 72 percent last month, for record
January sales with 3,689 vehicles. Combined, Ford sales of Transit,
E-Series, and Transit Connect totaled 13,377 vans, marking Ford’s best
January sales results for vans since 2001.
Escape sales of 20,054 vehicles increased 3 percent last month versus a
year ago, for the utility’s best-ever January. Explorer sales of 14,995
vehicles were up 28 percent, marking its best January sales since 2005.
Mustang sales more than doubled last month with sales of 8,694 vehicles.
This represents a 124 percent increase versus last year and marks
Mustang’s best January sales since 2007.
Lincoln sales increased 11 percent last month versus January 2014, with
6,619 vehicles sold, providing Lincoln with its best January results in
five years. MKC continues to build Lincoln momentum, along with
Navigator, which realized a 144 percent sales increase for the month.
