Jan 5, 2004 12:00 PM
Ford's F-Series truck, America's best-selling vehicle for 22 years in a row and best-selling truck for 27 years in a row, posted record December sales of 84,657, up 16 percent compared with a year ago. It was the fourth month in a row F-Series achieved a double-digit sales increase -- a streak that coincided with the introduction of the all-new F-150. For the full year, F-Series sales totaled 845,586. In December, F-150 was named Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year. Yesterday, F-150 was named North American Truck of the Year at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. "Without a doubt, the launch of the new F-150 has taken its place among the very best in Ford's long history," said Jim O'Connor, Ford group president, North America Marketing, Sales and Service. "Bolstered by the confidence and excitement created by the F-150, we're ready to launch the next wave of new products."
