Strong consumer demand for its new products drove Ford Motor
Company to a 5 percent increase in total U.S. sales in April with
222,498 vehicles sold. Retail sales grew 7 percent, while fleet
sales were up 1 percent. It was the company’s best April retail
sales in nine years.
“Customer demand for our new vehicles continues to be strong,
with the F-Series, Mustang, Transit van lineup and Edge driving
retail gains in April,” said Mark LaNeve, Ford vice president, U.S.
Marketing, Sales and Service. “Our SUVs are in particularly high
demand, and the new F-150 is off to an outstanding start.”
Ford brand SUVs had a record-setting month – the company’s best
April ever – with sales of 62,730 vehicles. This included record
sales of the all-new Edge, up 78 percent, and Escape up 5 percent.
Edge is now turning on dealer lots in just 10 days.
F-Series, America’s best-selling truck, posted an April retail
sales gain of 8 percent – with the continued plant changeover to
the new F-150 and limited supply. Kansas City Assembly, the second
assembly plant building the popular new F-150, continues to ramp up
production through the second quarter. Once the plant is fully
online, Ford will be able to fill many fleet orders – especially
the regular cab and long cargo box configurations popular with
these customers.
In April, 2015 EcoBoost F-150 sales were a record 63 percent of
all retail sales. Premium Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum models
were 60 percent of retail sales.
Van sales of 19,575 vehicles represent a 16 percent increase
versus last year, for the best April sales performance since 1987.
Sales are being driven by the best performance for Transit since
the vehicle’s launch last year, as well as record April sales of
Transit Connect – up 8 percent.
Mustang sales increased 81 percent, with 13,144 vehicles sold.
This represents Mustang’s best April sales since 2006.
Lincoln retail sales increased 25 percent, providing Lincoln
with its best April retail results since 2008. Lincoln MKC
continues to build momentum, along with Navigator, which posted a
36 percent sales increase.
