Ford Motor Company sales decreased nine percent to 457,315 units during first quarter of 2026 in the United States. Sales decreased at both Ford and Lincoln.

"The first quarter showed our team worked hard to maintain retail share and navigate a changing industry, while underlying demand remains strong for F-Series, SUVs and the Ford Pro business," said President of Ford Blue and Model e, Andrew Frick. "We’re focusing on our high-demand segment strengths while continuing to meet the needs of our customers with affordable and premium vehicle choices," he added.

Currently nothing I bought 15 years ago has a new version that isn’t smaller, plastic, jammed with extra accessories I don’t want, and shuts off at stoplights. Most don’t have a spare tire. Personally I’ll likely never buy a new car again, especially given the nearly 50% jump in prices, but not my paycheck. I can buy a restored classic for new car prices now, and I probably will.

Plus, the Mustang is an electric CUV now? Really?
