Ford pickup truck sales lead third-quarter growth

Sales of the F-150 lightning electric pickup were off about 46% during the quarter due to slower-than-expected demand and downtime at the plant.

The Detroit automaker on Wednesday reported a 15.3% increase in truck sales compared to a 5.1% decline in cars and sales of SUVS that were essentially flat. The automaker's sales of electric vehicles were up by 14.8% during the quarter to nearly 21,000 units. A vast majority of those sales were the Mustang Mach-E crossover, as sales of the F-150 lightning electric pickup were off about 46% during the quarter due to slower-than-expected demand and downtime at the plant.
