“Ford achieved both best-selling brand and truck for six consecutive months this year on the strength of F-Series, vans, our new Escape and F-150 Lightning,” said Andrew Frick, vice president, sales distribution, and trucks. “Our EV sales continue to grow. Improved Mustang Mach-E inventory flow began to hit at the end of Q2 following the retooling of our plant earlier this year, which helped Mustang Mach-E sales climb 110 percent in June.”

With the launch of Ford’s all-new Super Duty pickup and chassis cabs, F-Series sales increased 34.0 percent increase in Q2 on sales of 212,516 F-Series trucks. That’s up 24.7 percent from the first quarter. F-Series total industry share hit almost 36 percent in Q2 – up almost 5 full percentage points over Q2 last year.
Through the first half of this year, F-Series remains America’s best-selling truck on sales of 382,893 trucks – outselling second-place Silverado by approximately 118,000 trucks. Ford Maverick sales increased 7.8 percent in Q2 ahead of additional capacity coming online this month to meet continued strong customer demand.
Combined F-Series, Ranger and Maverick sales of 246,155 pickups outsold all of GM’s Silverado, Sierra, Colorado, Canyon and Hummer EV in Q2 of this year. Ford’s combined sales of F-Series, Ranger and Maverick were up 26.7 percent in Q2 over a year ago.
The strength of Ford’s vans continued to shine for the quarter. Transit continued as America’s best-selling van in Q2 on sales of 32,031 – up 30.1 percent, compared to year ago. Ford E-Series vans increased 63.7 percent in Q2 and are up 55.7 percent this year. Ford was No. 1 in commercial sales, based on the most recent registration data through April. Ford’s U.S. Class 1-7 commercial trucks and vans share grew to 40.3 percent, up 1.0 percentage point from the same period a year ago.
Meanwhile, Lincoln closed the quarter with sales gains thanks to improved inventory. Navigator Q2 sales increased 20.1 percent on sales of 4,688 vehicles, while sales of the new Lincoln Corsair climbed 27.0 percent in June to end the quarter. Nautilus sales also saw a 58.5 percent increase in June at the end of Q2.
