Ford Pickups Have Best Start in Over 20 Years; Q1 U.S. Retail Sales Grow, Led by F-Series, Electrified Vehicles and Bronco

Ford Motor Company U.S. retail sales rose 5% in the first quarter propelled by a 19% retail increase in March

• Sales of F-Series, America's best-selling truck, grew 24%
• Ford electrified vehicle sales start the year totaling a record 73,623 in the first quarter - up 26% - led by a record start for hybrids and electric vehicles, up 33% and 12% respectively
• Sales of off-road performance vehicles grew 20% in the first quarter, led by a 35% increase in Bronco sales
• Ford Pro Intelligence software platform subscriptions, based on end-of-quarter estimates, up about 20% year-over-year with approximately 674,000 active subscriptions

DEARBORN, Mich., Apr. 1, 2025 - Ford Motor Company's commitment to offering customers a wide range of powertrains across its lineup of work, adventure and performance vehicles helped the company deliver record-breaking sales for electrified vehicles and its best first-quarter pickup sales in more than 20 years.

Overall Ford retail sales rose 5% in the quarter driven higher by strong March results, which increased 19%.

In March, F-Series sales rose 38% and fueled a first quarter increase of 24% on sales of 190,389 trucks. F-Series continued as America's best-selling truck lineup, leading the way with its broad offering of gas, diesel, hybrid and electric trucks. No other truck manufacturer offers this level of choice in the marketplace.

F-Series, along with the popular Ranger and Maverick, together lifted Ford's total pickup sales to 243,317 in the first quarter. To close out the quarter, Maverick, as a result of improved availability, tallied an all-time monthly sales record of 19,008 pickups sold in March.

Based on strong retail sales in March, total sales for the month increased 10%. Overall, total Ford sales for the quarter decreased 1% year over year mainly due to daily rental fleet sales timing and lost volume from the discontinuation of the Ford Edge and Transit Connect.

Ford Electrified Vehicles Off to a Record Start

Coming off a record year in 2024, electrified vehicles (hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric) sold at a fast pace in the first quarter with sales totaling 73,623 - up 26% over last year. In the first quarter, Ford's electrified vehicles represented 15% of total sales - up 3 percentage points over the same period last year.

Mustang Mach-E is off to a record start on sales of 11,607 electric SUVs, despite limited inventory. The 2025 model year Mustang Mach-E SUVs are now in transit and will make their way to dealer lots in April.

Sales of E-Transit, America's best-selling electric van rose 30%, totaling 3,756.

Total hybrid sales rose 33%, with F-150 hybrid also up 33%. Maverick, America's most affordable pickup, begins the year as America's best-selling hybrid pickup on sales of 21,414.

Bronco Pushes Off-Road Performance Sales Higher

Ford off-road performance vehicles totaled 105,222 pickups and SUVs in the first quarter - up 20%. These off-road performance vehicles include Bronco and Bronco Sport as well as Raptor, Tremor, Timberline and FX 4 vehicle packages on Ford pickups and SUVs.

Ford begins the year with its off-road performance vehicles representing 21% of our total sales, up nearly 4 percentage points compared to a year ago.

Bronco, the leader of Ford's off-road performance vehicles, jumped to a strong start in first quarter on sales of 32,595 SUVs, up 35% compared to the same period last year. Based on the most recent retail registration data, which lags in its availability, Bronco outsold Jeep Wrangler in December 2024 and January of this year.

The Bronco family, including Bronco Sport, totaled 65,958 SUVs - up 19% over last year.

Ford Pro Intelligence Software Sales Up; BlueCruise Continues to Grow

Since 2023, the number of Ford Pro connected commercial vehicles grew by over 40% with greater than 5 million in operation today. The Ford Pro Intelligence software platform now has approximately 674,000 active subscriptions, based on end of first quarter estimates, up an estimated 20% year-over-year.

Customer usage of BlueCruise, Ford's hands-free highway driving technology, continues to grow. At the end of the first quarter, customer usage reached an estimated 5 million cumulative hands-free highway hours driven across Ford and Lincoln. The new BlueCruise 1.4 version of software, with an improved hands-free highway driving experience, has shipped on the new 2025 F-150, 2025 Expedition and 2025 Lincoln Navigator. Meanwhile, BlueCruise 1.5 with Automatic Lane Change is shipping on the 2025 Mustang Mach-E.

Remote Services Continues to Grow

Ford and Lincoln dealers provided customers with more than 3.8 million remote service experiences in 2024.

That momentum continued into the first quarter, with services up 11% percent and 879,204 service experiences. These include Mobile Service - in which technicians drive to service a customer's vehicle - and Pickup & Delivery - in which a dealer employee picks up, services and returns a customer's vehicle.

Dealers have provided more than 503,822 Mobile Service experiences during the first quarter of this year, up 14.5% percent from year-ago.

Thanks Elon!

Maybe this will help boost the public charging infrastructure ?

Aren't the Blazer, Equinox, and Prologue all basically the same SAIC-GM Ultium product?

Morningstar Equity Strategist David Whiston said most automakers will have benefited from a March bounce in sales as consumers wanting to buy before tariffs hit.

"So even if the numbers are awesome, it may not matter much in a few months once non-tariffed inventory is sold off dealer lots," Whiston told the Free Press.

This time next quarter, we might see Q1 as the bump before the slide. But I do notice the story that didn’t happen. We aren’t telling a story about how legacy EV sales froze.

The following paragraph was at least three meetings to get the wording just right. That comma after “SUVs” is a work of art. It’s unnecessary punctuation to make the reader pause before loading the subordinate commentary. Sneaky jab. Float like a butterfly…

I'm glad Ford is doing well. REALLY!
However, I still am not interested in paying a fee for hands-free cruise control when for $0 I can just keep my hands on the wheel.
That said, I am of the generation that grew up without cellular telephones, without personal computers and without apps. I added my own cruise control systems in the late-seventies and early-eighties, before they became standard equipment. Those were interesting engineering solutions.

Imagine if Ford had something new in the BEV pipeline for this year or even next in the US.

I also understand the company expects another year of losses for the Model E division (though likely not the company at large). "Liberation Day" tariffs sure aren't going to help either.

Mr. Farley has been rather quiet lately it seems. The Mach-E and Lightning are solid offerings. It would be a bummer if they became Ford's versions of Nissan Leaf (good start, no follow up).

Glad sales are going well (though in no small part due to incentives). I still love my car.

I'd like to see them offering some of their European-only EVs over here. I know some are technically rebadged Volkswagens, but others are based on the same platform as the Lightning and Mach E.

Might be people trying to beat the tariffs. If so, Q2 is going to really suck.

This was my thought as well - interesting that MachE production in March was way more than Jan/Feb combined. Also interesting that several other models had big bumps in March as well. Only a few (Bronco Sport, also assembled in Mexico, being one) had a drop in March. I suspect Ford had nearly all lines running overtime in March to get vehicles (especially those assembled outside the US) completed and imported prior to the tariffs kicking in to have as much in dealer stock as possible to "ride out" the tariff. A similar exercise likely going on with parts for US assembled vehicles (many of which come from outside the US).

Hopefully the Q2 slump isn't as dramatic the other direction.

Yes. And the Lyriq/ZDX are also sister cars

 

[cheerioboy26]

They do not report sales in the US. AFAIK, they only report global deliveries, and some people try to back out numbers from that and various registration data. Deliveries down worldwide 13% in Q1 vs. 2024.
