Ford and Lincoln dealers in the United States delivered 197,574 new vehicles in November 2016, a 5.2 percent increase compared to November 2015.
Cumulative sales of both the Ford and Lincoln brands were up during the month, with Ford growing 4.6 percent and Lincoln growing 19.1 percent. Notably, the Ford F-Series accounted for an impressive 72,089 deliveries during the month.
“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.”
