Ford F-Series Pickup Has Best May Sales Since 2000
Ford sold nearly 85,000 F-Series pickup trucks in May 2018.
The American automaker has announced F-Series sales increased 11.3 percent last month, to a total of 84,639 units. That means the F-Series lineup has had 13 consecutive months of year-over-year gains, and it’s the best May for F-Series since 2000. Ford said the F-Series is off to its best start since 2000 and is on track to post its ninth consecutive year gain.
Over the last nine months, the F-Series lineup has passed the 80,000-unit sale mark four times. Through May 2018, Ford has sold 371,934 F-Series pickup trucks.
