DETROIT — Ford engine said Tuesday that its U.S. vehicle sales rose 6% last year, reaching the company’s best annual sales since 2019.
The Detroit automaker reported sales of 2.2 million vehicles in 2025, including a 2.7% increase to more than 545,200 units in the fourth quarter. In 2019, the automaker sold 2.42 million vehicles in the United States.
Ford finished the year as the third-largest U.S. automaker behind Toyota engine and national sales leader General engines.
Ford’s U.S. vehicle sales for the year were largely in line with analyst expectations, such as those from Cox Automotive, which expects industry-wide sales to have increased about 2% to 16.3 million units in 2025.
“We’re really happy with how we finished the year,” Andrew Frick, president of Ford’s non-fleet vehicle business, said on a media call. “As the year progressed, we performed very well throughout the year. … We outperformed the industry for 10 consecutive months.”
Ford’s fourth-quarter performance came as the company continues to battle production problems with its F-Series pickup trucks due to two separate fires at a New York plant of major aluminum supplier Novelis.
Frick said the automaker “appears to be on track” to make up for lost production of tens of thousands of its lucrative pickup trucks this year, including adding another position at a Michigan plant.
Sales of the F-Series, including the popular F-150, increased 8.3% in 2025, but declined 3.1% in the fourth quarter.
Like many automakers, Ford’s all-electric vehicle business notably declined by 14.1% last year, including a drop of around 52% during the fourth quarter. A nearly 22% increase in Ford’s hybrid vehicle sales, which the company expects to grow, helped offset those losses.
Traditional vehicles with internal combustion engines continued to dominate Ford’s sales, accounting for approximately 86% of the company’s volume in 2025.
