Ford Motor Company sales increased three percent to 179,279 units during December 2022 in the United States. Sales increased at both FoMoCo brands, Ford and Lincoln.

“Much was accomplished in 2022, with Ford increasing its share of the industry by 0.7 percentage points,” said Vice President, Ford Sales U.S. and Canada, Andrew Frick. “Delivering on our strategy, share expansion came from broad-based growth from our SUV lineup and our all-new EVs growing at twice the rate of the overall EV segment. F-Series was America’s best-selling truck for the 46th consecutive year, outselling our second-place competitor by over 140,000 trucks, and the Bronco family of vehicles increased 51.3 percent. With a strong retail order bank, Ford is well positioned heading into 2023,” he added.

    Lincoln thanks to very poor management, had its worst year since 2013, but cheer up Lincoln, Buick, with even poorer management had 2022 sales decline nearly 79,000 units or 43.27%.

    Adding Zephyr and New Nautilus will boost sales in 2023. Throw in a proper Mark9 and Lincoln LS8 built off the S650 and you got a deal!
