“Strong retail sales increases for both F-150 and our all-new Super Duty pickups drove F-Series above the 70,000 vehicle mark—a November threshold we have not seen in 15 years,” said Mark LaNeve, vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales, and Service. “Plus, strong consumer demand for well-equipped Super Dutys helped boost Ford’s overall average transaction prices in November, which are up $1,000 versus a year ago—well ahead of the industry average of $320.”

Ford truck sales rose 4.9% year-over-year with 88,027 units delivered. The F-Series led the way with 72,089 units sold, up 10.6% year-over-year. Sales of heavy trucks were up 25.2% at 1,144 units, and sales of the E-Series were up 17.8% at 4,705 units.
