Ford slips in U.S. sales as Escape exits and supply woes bite

Ford’s U.S. sales fell nearly 10% in the first half as it phased out the Escape (and Corsair) and faced production headwinds from aluminum-supply shortages and a Louisville plant retooling for a next-gen small electric pickup. F-Series declined more than 13% in the period, rental-car sales plunged about 69% in the last quarter, and Lincoln was down about 16% as Corsair was discontinued. June retail market share rose slightly, while Maverick hybrid posted a Q2 record and Bronco/Explorer sold well. Electric-vehicle sales dropped 57% due to the loss of the federal tax credit, prompting Ford to use employee pricing to spur demand amid competitive pressure from GM and Stellantis.

The F-Series remained the top U.S. pickup and retail market share edged up to 12.3%. Ford is counting on high‑margin SUVs and the Bronco family, plus a 2027 small electric pickup on its Universal EV platform, while expecting supply to recover in the second half after aluminum‑supply disruptions.

Ford’s 2027 Super Duty Adopts Carhartt-Inspired Workwear Aesthetics

Ford and Carhartt unveil the 2027 Super Duty Carhartt package, limited to XLT Crew Cab SRW 4×4, pairing rugged styling—dark grille, 20‑inch wheels, all‑terrain tires, textured running boards, bedliner, and Carhartt graphics—with a Duck Canvas–inspired interior, triple‑stitch detailing, and embroidered logos. Designers drew wheel inspiration from Detroit manhole covers, while Ford explains the nod to durability and tradespeople, though actual Carhartt fabrics aren’t used due to automotive testing standards. The collaboration aims to reinforce an identity shared by both brands, rather than spark new conquest sales, packaging the rugged truck as the ultimate matching‑workwear companion.
