Ford Tops The Charts For Sports Cars, Trucks, And Commercial Vehicles

And it’s already #2 in EV sales.

According to the Blue Oval’s 2023 sales results, the Ford Mustang has outsold every other sports car offered in the US – not just the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro. Both those rivals are on their way to the scrapyard in the sky, but other sports cars aren’t.

With 48,605 Mustangs sold in 2023, Ford’s pony car even outsold the Mazda MX-5 Miata and the Toyota Supra. That’s particularly impressive, considering how many sports cars Toyota is selling lately.

We’ll bring you a full sales report once a few more automakers reveal their figures for last year, but for now, let’s take a closer look at Ford. After all, it’s owning the market with more than just two-door toys.

In addition to selling so many Mustangs, Dearborn also sold a total of 31 Ford GT supercars, excluding the 67-unit 800-horsepower GT Mk IV track toy that was unveiled at the tail end of 2022. Ford also dominated truck sales, with the F-Series being America’s best-selling truck for the 47th straight year and its best-selling vehicle for the 42nd straight year.

More specifically, 750,789 F-Series trucks were sold last year, and as part of that, the F-150 Lightning became the best-selling electric truck of the year. Besides Tesla, nobody sold more EVs in America than Ford.

The domination continues in the middle ground: the F-150 Hybrid was the second best-selling hybrid truck in America, beaten only by the Maverick Hybrid.

Finally, in 2023, Ford also sold the most commercial vehicles and topped the commercial van sales charts (including electric vans) for the 45th consecutive year.

As good as things have been, Ford has had its fair share of negative moments, particularly with regard to quality. For the third straight year, Ford has issued more recalls than any other US automaker, and the UAW strike was a big headache.

But we want to focus on the future because 2024 marks 60 years since the introduction of the Ford Mustang, and we suspect that Ford will celebrate this with several special editions and events. More interestingly, the automaker is targeting under seven minutes at the Nurburgring, and the supercar-like Mustang GTD looks to be up for the challenge.
