Ahead of the release of full-year sales results for the automotive industry later this week, Ford Motor Co. on Tuesday said that its flagship F-Series pickup truck lineup retained its titles as the best-selling truck and best-selling vehicle in the U.S.
The Dearborn automaker said in a news release that F-Series sales surpassed 640,000 trucks in 2022. The results make it the best-selling vehicle for 41 years and the best-selling truck for 46 years running. Sales were down from 2021, when F-Series notched more than 726,000 sales.
Additionally, Ford spokesperson Mike Levine said that December is slated to pan out as the best month of the year for F-Series sales on improved inventory flow and strong demand. The company reports monthly results on Thursday. Crosstown rival General Motors Co. along with numerous other automakers, is scheduled to release fourth-quarter results Wednesday. Results will show how competitors such as the Chevy Silverado and Stellantis NV's Ram trucks fared in 2022.
