Ford Celebrating the New Year with Record SUV & F-Series Sales

WESTLAND, Mich.,––The New Year has arrived and Ford is taking account for the previous year with a smile. As automotive sales have shifted away from sedans and gone towards the SUV spectrum in the past 12 months, so have Ford consumers. Ford is celebrating the New Year with record SUV & F-Series sales, not to mention their continued title of "America's Favorite Brand" for the 8th consecutive year.

Although cars took significant dive in sales, 15.2% year over year, the SUVs and trucks took the stage in a big way. Year-to-date trucks and SUVs both climbed 4.3%, contributing heavily towards the full-year sales count of 2,586,715 Ford vehicles! Overall truck sales increased 9.3%, marking 2017 as the best year in performance since 2005. This stunning climb helped the F-Series become America's Best-Selling pickup for the 41st time in a row.

Ford's SUV sales came to a total of 796, 302 units, again marking 2017 as the best year yet! The year-to-date climb includes the new all-time December sales record, an increase of 10.3%, which has something to say about the shift in the auto market. The Edge posted the largest gain out of all Ford SUVs, particularly in the coastal western region of the U.S. The Explorer also showed large growth with a gain of 33.3% just in December, the best December it has had since 2003.

Another notable moment from this year was the gain in Mustang sales in December, which came to 7,714 units in December. That's a 9.2% jump! This is surprising in some way because of the decline in sports cars sales in the industry over the past 12 months. The newest vehicle, the redesigned 2018 Expedition is also off to a great start from being released late this year with 5,458 units sold last month.

With Ford celebrating the New Year with record SUV sales and another year of the America's Best-Selling pickups, we're excited for the year to come!
