Ford U.S. Retail Sales Grow at Double the Industry Pace in 2024, Led by Trucks, Hybrids, Electric Vehicles and Lincoln • Ford Motor Company U.S. retail sales gain 17% in Q4, driving full-year 2024 retail gains of 6% - twice the rate of the estimated overall retail industry • Total Ford electrified vehicle sales (hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric) hit a record 285,291 this year – up 38%, outselling GM and Stellantis’ electrified vehicles for the full year • Ford No. 1 in hybrid trucks with an estimated 76% segment share and No. 2 U.S. electric vehicle brand • F-Series remains America’s best-selling truck for 48th straight year • Lincoln delivers best annual retail sales in 17 years • Ford Pro Intelligence software platform subscriptions, based on end-of-quarter estimates, up about 27% year-over-year DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 3, 2025 The Ford Motor Company strategy of offering customers a variety of powertrains and vehicle types helped Ford grow retail sales 6% in 2024, double the estimated rate of the broader industry. Fourth quarter retail sales growth was even stronger at 17%, led by a 25% retail gain in F-Series. The Ford F-Series best illustrates the company’s Freedom of Choice strategy with gas, diesel, hybrid and electric models. All of these F-Series versions saw year-over-year sales growth in the final month of 2024. No other truck manufacturer in the industry offers customers this choice of powertrains.Total F-Series Q4 sales were up 21% to end the year as America’s best-selling truck for the 48th straight year. Ford total Q4 sales increased 9% compared to a full-year sales gain of 4%, with a total of 2,078,832 vehicles sold. Ford outpaced the total industry – as well as the retail – with a total estimated industry sales increase of 2% for 2024, expanding its market share. Entering 2025, Ford bolstered its vehicle inventory to help offset the impact of expected supply reductions during plant changeovers for key product launches, including the new Expedition, Navigator and Bronco. The move reflects Ford’s strategy to keep its product lineup among the freshest in the industry for customers and dealers. Ford’s Electrified Vehicles Set New Records Customers favored Ford’s electrified vehicles in 2024, driving growth and setting record sales for the year. With 285,291 electrified vehicles sold (HEV, PHEV and electric), sales were up 38% in 2024 over a year ago, exceeding the sales of GM and Stellantis.
