The increase was brought in by the brand's long-time leading models such as the Everest, EcoSport, and Ranger, which all contributed to the 3,154 monthly sales.

“The Everest, EcoSport and Ranger continue to drive our sales momentum. We’ve been running some very attractive nationwide campaigns, and with the impending excise tax changes, we’re expecting our Ford showrooms will continue to be busy through year-end. We’re thankful that more and more customers are choosing Ford for their vehicles.”
