Recently, S&P Global Mobility released its most recent list of the total number of vehicles in operation in the U.S. by manufacturer, which tallies those particular figures as of the conclusion of Q2 2024. This report produced some interesting results as it pertains to Ford Motor Company, specifically, whether that be the brands that fall under its corporate umbrella, or even one that hasn’t been selling new vehicles for well over a decade to this point.
As Ford Authority recently reported, there are still 917,032 Mercury vehicles in operation on U.S. roads, which is a pretty staggering number for a brand that’s been gone for well over a decade to this point. In fact, it’s a little less than half of Lincoln’s total of 1,956,551 vehicles and beats several other brands currently in operation, including Mini (747,643 vehicles currently on the road), Genesis (248,391), Jaguar (406,675), and Fiat (231,945), to name just a few.
As for the Ford brand, it actually topped this entire list with 42,405,257 vehicles still in operation in U.S. roads. That’s enough to beat out second- and third-place Chevrolet (38,665,327 vehicles) and Toyota (36,633,813), representing just a touch under 15 percent of the 283,554,192 total vehicles currently on the road in the U.S.
This doesn’t necessarily come as a huge surprise, given the fact that the Ford brand previously ranked first in another report tallying the most vehicles operating on U.S. roads as of the conclusion of 2023. Ford ranked first on that list by accounting for 14.7 percent of the market, followed by Chevrolet (13.2 percent), Toyota (12.7 percent), Honda (8.5 percent), Dodge/Ram (6.1 percent), Nissan (5.9 percent), Jeep (4.2 percent), GMC (3.8 percent), Hyundai (3.6 percent), Kia (2.8 percent), Subaru (2.8 percent), Volkswagen (1.9 percent), Mazda (1.9 percent), Mercedes-Benz (1.9 percent), BMW (1.8 percent), Lexus (1.8 percent), Chrysler (1.4 percent), Buick (1.3 percent), Acura (1.1 percent), and Cadillac (1.0 percent).

This may change. I was all set to purchase a Bronco Sport and decided against this move because of all the engine failures on the internet. The 1.5 seems to have many issues so I decided a Badlands with the 2.0 would be a better choice. The 2.0 has been around for years that should give Ford time to get the bugs out. But what I found was Ford hasn’t done much of anything to fix issues like the engine drinking antifreeze (a common issue) leaving people needing a complete long block replacement. The issue with Fords 3 and 4 cyl engines is so bad they have been given the name EcoBoom. First it was a line in the block between the cylinders and now it’s cracks in the open deck block. These issues have been going on for years with Ford not addressing them.
I just can’t afford to have this issue
