Ford Motor Company U.S. Sales Down 2 Percent To 180,383 Vehicles In February 2015

U.S. Ford and Lincoln dealers delivered 180,383 vehicles in February 2015, down 2 percent compared to February 2014.

“Strong customer demand for the all-new F-150 drove strong February F-Series retail sales results in February,” said Mark LaNeve, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. “The all-new F-150 continues to be the hottest vehicles on dealer lots, turning more than four times faster than the industry’s overall full-size pickup segment.”

Retail sales of the F-Series increased 7 percent as the all-new F-150 remains one of Ford’s fastest-turning vehicles on dealer lots. In addition, Ford is now training employees in the new manufacturing process at Kansas City Assembly Plant – the second plant building the new F-150. Production is scheduled to begin in March, as planned.
