Ford has reported a strong third-quarter performance in the United States, with sales rising 8.2% year on year, marking the seventh consecutive month of growth for the automaker.
Robust Demand for Trucks and Electric Models
The rise is largely driven by healthy demand for Ford’s trucks and electric vehicle portfolio. The company says that its F-Series trucks and Mustang Mach-E models were among the strongest contributors during the period.
Ford emphasized that this growth underscores continued momentum as the company pushes deeper into electrification while maintaining strength in its core ICE (internal combustion engine) offerings.
Strategy and Outlook
Ford attributed its sustained sales performance to a balanced strategy: leveraging its traditional strength in trucks and SUVs while accelerating EV adoption. The automaker notes that its product mix, pricing discipline and dealer execution all played a role.
Looking ahead, Ford expects market conditions and consumer demand to remain competitive. The company continues to invest in EV infrastructure and new model launches to sustain growth beyond 2025.
What It Means for the UK Market
Although these figures reflect U.S. performance, they offer important signals for global operations — including in the UK. Successfully balancing ICE and electric portfolios helps Ford manage the transition pressures that many manufacturers are facing.
For UK drivers, this balance suggests Ford may continue to roll out or support hybrid and electric variants across its key models while maintaining strength in its traditional ranges, including popular work trucks and commercial vehicles.
