HIGHLIGHTS

  • Ford total U.S. share in June expands to 12.9 percent as sales
    outperform the industry. Overall industry sales were down 11
    percent, while Ford sales improved 31.5 percent over a year ago,
    despite ongoing industry semiconductor chip and supply constraints.
    Share gains came from F-Series, Explorer and Expedition along with
    continued strong expansion of battery-electric vehicles.

    coming from previously placed orders continues at its record pace of

    37.9 percent of Ford’s overall sales mix – up from 32.0 percent in
    May. F-Series has been expanding its truck leadership through the
    first half of the year, outselling its second-place competitor by about
    40,000 trucks. Almost 60 percent of F-Series retail sales came from
    previously placed orders and as it continues to turn at record rates.
  • Ford total pickup sales, including F-Series, Ranger and Maverick
    were up 26.3 percent over a year ago with total pickups sales of
    66,663. Ford’s total pickup share gained approximately 7
    percentage points over last year – at 29 percent in June. This is the
    highest share of any brand in the total pickup segment.
  • Sales of Ford electric vehicles jumped 76.6 percent from a year ago,
    totaling 4,353 for the month. Going into July, both F-150 Lightning
    and Mustang Mach-E dealer stock is higher than last month,
    positioning both for a stronger July sales month.
  • Ford brand SUV sales totaled 60,894, which were up 35.3 percent
    over last year. Bronco continues to add to our total sales, selling
    8,681 SUVs, while Explorer more than doubled sales.
  • On an improved mix of F-Series, Expedition, Explorer and Navigator,
    Ford’s average transaction pricing expanded approximately $1,900
    per vehicle in June relative to May. This compares favorably to an
    industry increase of about $150. These vehicles represented just
    over 56 percent of the mix in June and was up about 8 percentage
    points over May and 3 percentage points from a year ago.

“Amid industry-wide supply constraints, Ford outperformed the industry driven
by strong F-Series, Explorer and new Expedition and Navigator SUV sales.
Combined, these vehicles represented just over 56 percent of our sales in
June – up about 8 percentage points from May. F-150 Lightning was
America’s best-selling electric truck in June in its first full month of sales,
while our overall electric vehicle sales were up 77 percent over last year.”
