Ford November sales up 5.9% from last year
Ford is only automaker to report increase for month of November
Ford reported a 5.9% year-over-year increase in November sales on Thursday, with its SUVs setting an all-time record for the month.
It was the only major automaker still posting monthly sales figures that didn't report a decline, with Toyota, Honda, Hyundai-Kia and Subaru among those seeing a drop during the period.
Ford said it sold 60,418 F-Series trucks to bring its year-to-date total to 663,508, which is down 7% from last year, but far enough ahead of its closest rival for it to predict it will be the best-selling truck line for the 45th year running when full-year results are posted.
