Ford's Sales Bounce Back: A Look at the Numbers

Ford has made a comeback in the U. S. market, selling more cars in 2025 than it has in the past few years. With 2. 2 million vehicles sold, it's the best year for Ford since 2019. That's a 6% increase from the year before. Even though it's not as many as they sold in 2019, it's still a big deal. Ford is now the third-largest car company in the U. S. , behind Toyota and General Motors. The last few months of the year were especially good, with sales going up by 2. 7%. This is a big win for Ford, as they've been struggling with some problems. One of those problems is with their popular F-Series trucks. There were fires at a plant that makes parts for these trucks, which slowed down production. But Ford says they're on track to make up for the lost time. In fact, they're even adding more shifts at a plant in Michigan to help.Even with these challenges, Ford's truck sales went up by 8. 3% for the year. But in the last few months, sales dropped by 3. 1%. This shows that while Ford is doing well overall, there are still some ups and downs. Ford's electric vehicle (EV) sales took a hit last year, dropping by 14. 1%. This is a big deal because many car companies are pushing to sell more electric cars. But Ford's hybrid vehicles did well, with sales going up by nearly 22%. This helped make up for some of the losses in the EV market. Most of Ford's sales still come from traditional gas-powered cars, which made up about 86% of their sales last year. This shows that even though electric and hybrid cars are growing, gas-powered cars are still the main focus for Ford.
