The all-new 2004 F-150 pickup truck continues to bring new customers -- as well as past F-Series customers -- to Ford of Canada dealer showrooms, increasing sales by 11 per cent over the same month last year. Truck sales of 13,373 were off 4.7 per cent from December 2002. Car sales totaled 3.945 units, down 23.9 per cent, resulting in combined sales of 17,318 vehicles, 9.9 per cent behind December 2002.
"The totally re-designed 2004 F-150 is a breakthrough vehicle and customers who have purchased this truck tell us the new F-150 has revolutionized the pickup truck marketplace," said Robert Girard, vice president, General Sales, Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited. "I am proud to announce that the December sales numbers confirm that the Ford F-Series continued as Canada's best-selling pickup for 38 consecutive years and for 2003, was the best-selling vehicle in Canada."
"Lincoln sales were led by Navigator and Aviator, two of the most luxurious SUVs on the road today and Escape sales continue to grow as more Canadians seeking versatility, utility and exceptional value in their vehicle are purchasing Canada's favourite sub-compact SUV," added Girard.
