Ford SUV Sales on Record Pace – Expedition Up 74.7 Percent,
Explorer Up 12.5 Percent; F-Series Passes 70,000-Truck Mark
for Eighth Straight Month; Lincoln Navigator Up 70.0 Percent
Ford’s overall average transaction prices reached
record levels of $36,800 in October, up $1,400
from last year. This compares to an industry increase
of just $330 per vehicle
This means people are willing to pay a premium for owning a Ford to me.
As America’s best-selling brand of trucks, SUVs and
vans combined, sales of these Ford products totaled
150,900 vehicles in October. Year-to-date, Ford
trucks, SUVs and vans posted sales of 1,605,967
vehicles this year – up 2.1 percent
Ford F-Series surpassed 70,000 trucks sold for the
eighth consecutive month in October, on sales of
70,438 pickups; the decline versus year-ago levels is
largely the result of fleet timing. Year-to-date F-Series
commercial fleet sales are up 12.8 percent
Ford SUVs posted a 7.9 percent gain last month on
62,175 vehicles sold, for the best October in 16
years
16 years!!

vehicles last month – a 74.7 percent jump over a
year ago, while Ford Explorer results were up 12.5
percent on sales of 19,034 vehicles

of 17,353 units, a gain of 4.9 percent for the month

rich mix of high trim series vehicles

"Overall Navigator
sales were up 70.0 percent, with
transaction price gains of $30,300.
California continues to be
Navigator’s strongest market, with

Why sell a Fiesta with a profit of under $1k.........one F150 truck or big SUV makes 10-25 times that. If you were a dealer what would be on your lot?
