Sales for F-Series pickup trucks grew 3.5% while Ranger demonstrated an 8.2% growth.

F-Series finished the quarter on a high note with September sales up 17.2 percent with over 76,000 F-Series pickups sold. This is a testament to our winning product portfolio and the performance of our great dealers.”On August 17, Credit Suisse analyst Dan Levy reaffirmed a Hold rating on the stock and a price target of $8 (16.1% upside potential). In a broader industry research note, Levy said that Ford should use the strength in its North American trucking business to fund its electric vehicle development programs.Currently, the Street is sidelined on the stock.
