Ford Motor Company’s total truck sales grew 5% in July compared to a year ago, according to Yahoo! Finance.
Fleet sales were up 6%, with 55,321 vehicles sold. And vans reached their best July sales since 1978, with 20,236 sold.
“Trucks and vans continue to be market strengths for Ford,” said Mark LaNeve, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. “Van customers rewarded us with another strong year-over-year gain, and F-Series had its best retail sales this year.”
Ford’s overall transaction pricing also grew $1,600 in July versus a year ago – more than double the industry average – driven by the continued higher mix shift to trucks and SUVs.
