According to Ford's report, October retail sales saw a 21% decline from this time last year.
The F-150 Lightning recorded sales of 2,436, which is its best monthly sales performance since its introduction this year.
Orders opened for the 2023 Super Duty on Oct. 27 with over 52,000 total new orders placed in five days. The F-Series recorded total sales of 523,712 vehicles. Ford’s Maverick truck turned on dealer lots in just six days last month with sales up 123%.
