Ford reported increased US quarterly sales Wednesday, reflecting strong demand despite higher interest rates in an auto market that has yet to see significant effects from a labor strike.
The big US automaker garnered an eight percent rise in sales in the third quarter to 500,504 vehicles, pointing to substantial increases in trucks—including for the best-selling F-150 pickup line.
“We saw strong balanced sales growth providing choice to our customers in the third quarter, with growth coming from our gas engine, electric, hybrid and commercial van lineup,” said Ford vice president Andrew Frick in a news release.
