May offered more than its proverbial flowers in 2016. Instead it delivered strong sales - with the Ford F-Series blitzing past the competition and generating new records.
According to 24/7 Wall Street, the F-Series remains the best-selling pick-up in North America, earning an impressive 67,412 total units in May. This represents a 9% year-over-year increase, with the F-150, F-250, and Raptor (once again) proving their consumer appeals. This provided Ford with approximately 45% of all full-size purchases.
The competition was, therefore, left in the dust - with the GMC Silverado delivering only 45,035 units (a 12% year-over-year decline) and the Dodge Ram achieving only 38,833 units (a 3% year-over-year decline). Other leading marquees - including the Toyota Tundra and the Nissan Frontier - fared worse, unable to even manage 10,000 units each. These statistics highlight the value of the F-Series, with consumers flocking to best-in-class towing, payloads, and economy.
June should continue this trend, with drivers hurrying to the Novlan lot to find their F-Series powerhouses. We expect a strong start to summer and know that these trucks will provide seasonal power for all.
