Ford and Lincoln dealers sold a combined 212,236 vehicles in the United States in July 2014, a 10 percent year-over-year increase. Retail sales were up 7 percent to 162,028 units, with the remaining 50,208 units being fleet and commercial sales.
“July proved to be a very good month for Ford and Lincoln with positive gains across the board in all the major segments,” said John Felice, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. “Escape and Fusion were big contributors to our sales increases, with both setting July sales records. F-Series again topped the 60,000-vehicle sales mark and we’re seeing great initial demand for our launch vehicles, such as the Transit Connect, Transit Connect Wagon and the Lincoln MKC as availability builds.”
July sales highlights (vs. July 2013, except as noted):
- Ford Fusion set an all-time monthly sales record in July with 23,942 units sold, a gain of 17 percent. The West region of the United States continues to drive Fusion sales higher, with a 24 percent retail increase relative to a 22 percent increase nationally.
- Ford Explorer sales were up 32 percent with 16,797 vehicles sold, making for the vehicle’s best July since 2005.
- Ford Escape sales were up 19 percent, setting an all-time performance record for July.
- Ford F-Series sales were up 5 percent with 63,240 trucks sold, a number achieved with the lowest incentives of the three largest pickup truck manufacturers.
- Lincoln sales of 7,863 vehicles represented an increase of 14 percent, giving the brand its best July result in six years. Stock for Lincoln MKC is expanding and momentum is building, with 1,534 vehicles sold in July.
