FoMoCo has just announced that it has managed to increase sales of its Ford brand to over 2 million units for the first time in the US since 2007. That real-life Ford buyer might have had a reason for picking the F-150, because this sales figure makes Ford the top selling brand in America, and the first to top the landmark number since 2007.
“Both the Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus achieve 40 mpg highway, while the Ford Explorer brings a class leading 28 mpg highway with its new EcoBoost engine. Ford’s smallest utility, the fuel-efficient Escape, has achieved record sales volumes this year and is America’s best selling utility vehicle,” Ford says.
“Ford’s lineup of high-quality, fuel-efficient cars, utilities and trucks continues to attract more and more new customers,” said Erich Merkle, Ford’s sales analysis manager. “With gasoline prices tracking higher than last year, customers continue to move toward smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles, whether they are passenger cars or utilities.”
