2015 Ford Mustang, Escape, and Explorer Hit Record Sales
This past November was pretty good for Ford Motor Company. The 2015 Ford Mustang, Escape, and Explorer Hit Record Sales, and the Dearborn-based automaker totaled 187,000 vehicles for November, which is down two percent from the previous year.
According to Ford, the slight drop was anticipated, because Ford is closely managing inventory levels as vehicle availability starts growing for the all-new Ford Mustang, F-150 and Transit models.
The 2015 Ford Mustang flew past the 8,000-vehicle mark in November, selling 8,728 units. And in Mustang’s largest markets, which are Texas and California, retail sales increased a whopping 46 percent and 76 percent, respectively! This should come as no surprise, as the Mustang community impatiently awaited the arrival of the hot 2015 Mustang.
Social media has exploded with owners posting quarter-mile times, show awards and the various modifications they have made.
The Ford Mustang offers a wide range of choices, including the V6, the 310-horsepower EcoBoost, the 435-horsepower 5.0L GT and the 500-plus horsepower Shelby GT350 that Ford recently announced. And we’re pretty sure Ford is set to announce an “R” model of the GT350 this winter. The rumor mill is about spilling over with talk of the next supercar, the question is whether or not it will carry the Ford GT moniker, or another fancy name?
“Our all-new Mustang is moving quickly off dealer lots,” said John Felice, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. “Mustang had its best November sales in eight years and is turning in just eight days on dealer lots, on average. Escape saw record sales for November, while Lincoln sales continue gaining momentum, with the brand posting its best sales since 2007.”
Ford’s popular Escape is doing great, as sales jumped 22 percent versus 2013, with 25,528 vehicles sold. This represents the vehicle’s best-ever November performance. A total of 14,949 Explorers were sold, marking a 13 percent increase and making this the best November performance since 2004.
Lincoln pumped out 8,113 vehicles, which provided a 21-percent burst—it’s the brand’s best November in seven years. Ford reported that Lincoln MKC sales represent its second month above the 2,000 vehicle mark, with 2,152 vehicles sold as it continues to strengthen the brand overall. The biggest percentage came from the new Navigator, which was up 88 percent with sales of 1,433 vehicles, and this is Navigator’s best November sales since 2007.
