Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed January 6, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) reported U.S. sales of 2,204,124 vehicles for calendar year 2025, up 6.0%a year over year, and a total U.S. market share of 13.2%, up 0.6 percentage points.
Fourth-quarter sales rose 2.7%b, with share up 0.9 points. Management described it as Ford's best annual sales and Q4 performance since 2019. The filing is an 8.01 Other Events report that furnishes a sales press release as Exhibit 99.
It contains no financial statements, GAAP results, guidance, or balance sheet data, so it should not be read as an earnings report. Growth was driven by trucks, hybrids, and affordability-focused entry trims. Pickups and vans totaled 1,268,749 (+9.5%c), with F-Series at 828,832 (+8.3%) and the Maverick at a record 155,051 (+18.2%).
Hybrid sales reached a record 228,072 (+21.7%d). Ford Pro Transit posted a record 161,797 vans (+5.9%), and Bronco set an all-time record of 146,007 (+33.7%). Combined sales of entry-level trims on the Maverick, Ranger, and Bronco Sport rose 41.3% in Q4.
Ford also cited about 840,000 paid Ford Pro Intelligence software subscriptions, up roughly 30% year over year in Q4, which is a relevant indicator for recurring commercial revenue. For investors, the release supports a picture of share gains across a broad lineup, with strong demand for hybrids and value-oriented trucks.
Electric vehicle sales were a smaller piece at 84,113 units across three nameplates, and the Mustang Mach-E was flat at about 51,620 units versus its 2024 record. Sales volume does not translate directly into margins, pricing, or profit, so investors would need Ford's quarterly earnings disclosures to assess profitability.

Ford Pro commercial vans and Super Duty also contributed, with Super Duty posting its best year since 2004.
