Ford Motor Company announced its U.S. vehicle sales increased by 6% in 2025, reaching 2.2 million units—the automaker's strongest annual performance since 2019. The results included a 2.7% year-over-year gain in the fourth quarter, with more than 545,200 vehicles sold.
Andrew Frick, president of Ford's nonfleet vehicle businesses, expressed satisfaction with the year's performance, noting the company "outperformed the industry for 10 straight months." The sales figure positioned Ford as the third-largest automaker in the U.S., trailing Toyota and domestic leader General Motors. The results were broadly in line with Cox Automotive's projection of a 2% industrywide increase to approximately 16.3 million units for the year.
The company's performance came despite ongoing production challenges with its crucial F-Series pickup trucks, stemming from fires at a key supplier's plant. Frick stated Ford appears "on track" to offset the lost production, which affected tens of thousands of trucks, through measures like adding an extra shift at a Michigan facility. Full-year F-Series sales rose 8.3%, though they declined 3.1% in the fourth quarter.
A notable shift in Ford's sales mix continued in 2025. Sales of all-electric vehicles fell 14.1% for the year, including a steep 52% drop in the fourth quarter. This decline was partially offset by a 21.8% increase in hybrid vehicle sales, a segment Ford expects to continue growing. Traditional internal combustion engine vehicles remained dominant, accounting for approximately 86% of the company's total volume.
