Ford's F-Series truck did it again: America's perennial best-selling vehicle posted February sales of 66,986, up 13% compared with a year ago.
February was the sixth month in a row F-Series achieved a double-digit sales increase -- a streak coinciding with the introduction of the all-new F-150.
"F-Series continues to give us a big lift," said Jim O'Connor, Ford group vice president, North America Marketing, Sales and Service. "Future sales success is buoyed by the fact that intentions to purchase an F-Series truck are at the highest level in over a decade."
Overall, U.S. customers purchased or leased 261,694 cars and trucks from Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, Jaguar, Volvo, and Land Rover dealers in February, down 2% compared with a year ago. Sales of trucks (pickups, sport utilities, and vans) were 175,884, up 4%.
