DETROIT -- Ford Motor Co. said on Tuesday that its U.S. new car and truck sales fell 2 percent to 255,533 vehicles in November.
Ford said it sold 79,613 cars in November, down 9.7 percent from November last year. Total truck sales rose 1.4 percent to 175,920 units.
The results include Ford's overseas brands Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo and some medium- and heavy-duty trucks. Ford's results are not adjusted for industry selling days.
Ford cut its fourth-quarter North American production plan by 20,000 cars to 900,000, saying it planned to sell fewer Ford Taurus sedans to rental companies. It estimated first-quarter 2004 North American production at 1.03 million vehicles, the same level as the first quarter of this year.
