While demand remains high, year-over-year F-Series sales in Q1 reflects a retiming of commercial production which is part of Ford's recovery plan following last year's Novelis plant fires. Ford expects the Novelis recovery plan to be uneven, with more volume recovery in the back half of the year. "The first quarter showed our team worked hard to maintain retail share and navigate a changing industry, while underlying demand remains strong for F-Series, SUVs and the Ford Pro business," said Andrew Frick, president, Ford Blue and Model e. "We're focusing on our high-demand segment strengths while continuing to meet the needs of our customers with affordable and premium vehicle choices." By the Numbers (Q1 2026) • Total sales: 457,315 vehicles — estimated retail share growth of 0.2 percentage points to 11.6% for Q1 • Total pickups and vans: America's best-selling truck manufacturer, with 257,475 sales • F-Series: 159,901 sales; America's best-selling truck • Bronco Sport off to a record start: 35,021 SUVs • Explorer: America's best-selling three row SUV: 61,387 SUVs • Ford Transit: America's best-selling van: 34,248 vans sold • Ford Pro paid software subs: topped 865,000 (+ approx. 29% in Q1) • BlueCruise hands-free driving: exceeded 10.1 million cumulative hours Ford Trucks Continue as No. 1 in America with the Most Diverse Powertrain Offering in the Industry F-Series began the year with 159,901 trucks sold, outselling its nearest competitor by 31,000 trucks. • The Ford F-150 hybrid continued as America's best-selling full-size hybrid pickup on sales of 12,904 vehicles. • Maverick hybrid sales totaled 17,050 in Q1 making it America's best-selling overall hybrid pickup. • As America's best-selling van, Transit sales totaled 34,248 vans to begin the year. • Ford truck sales for the year, including pickups and vans, reached 257,475 trucks, starting Ford off as America's No.1 selling truck manufacturer.
