U.S. Ford Motor Company Sales Down 32 Percent In July 2021

Ford Motor Company sales fell by 32 percent to 120,053 units during July 2021 in the United States. Sales decreased at both FoMoCo divisions – the namesake Ford brand and at Lincoln.

“In addition to the sales we delivered in July, our retail order bank increased over 70,000 units, excluding our Bronco and Maverick retail orders, which is 10 times higher than we were a year ago. Our newest products, including F-150 PowerBoost, Mustang Mach-E, Bronco and Bronco Sport, are conquesting at a rate that is almost 14 points higher than Ford overall,” said said Vice President, Ford Sales U.S. and Canada, Andrew Frick. “With our strong portfolio of new products, robust transaction pricing and a big order bank, we are perfectly positioned for significant growth as the semiconductor chip situation improves,” he added.
