Ford delivered U.S. sales gains across its vehicle portfolio in September, with cars up two percent, utilities up nine percent, and F-Series trucks up one percent.

Ford sales of Focus, C-MAX, and Fiesta totaled 24,628 vehicles in September, representing Ford’s best September for small car sales in ten years. Focus sales were up 91 percent, while the C-MAX began sales last month.

Escape had its best-ever September sales, with 23,148 vehicles sold, representing a fourteen percent increase versus last year’s record sales. Escape is on pace to surpass last year’s record sales of 254,293 vehicles for the full year.

Ford's F-Series sold a total of 55,077 pickups during September truck month – a one percent increase compared to last year – providing its fourteenth straight month of sales increases.

September U.S. total sales at Ford Motor Company were unchanged from last year and up four percent for retail sales. Total car sales are up two percent, total utilities up nine percent, and total trucks down eight percent – with stronger F-Series, E-Series, and Transit Connect sales being offset by the discontinuation of Ranger.
