Last year, local dealerships reported a sales decline of less than 1 percent, according to the Orange County Automobile Dealers Association, which tracks new vehicle registrations.

In February 2017, Ford’s F-Series truck US sales stood at 65,956 units with a YoY increase of ~9%. During the month, the strong demand for the newly launched F-Series Super Duty trucks continued in the company’s Retail segment.
