It's likely a much smaller percentage than you think.no idea if its relevant or not but fleet sales might be a huge number of them. In my area most of the utility companies, a lot of the local city and county government departments, auto parts stores, pest control, paint stores and most any company you could think of. Every time i turn around there's another one with a company name on it - every day.
You’re right - January 2025 sales sucked compared to the record January 2024 sales. February 2025 was low too, but March 2025 was a new monthly record. Stop Sales had a impact for sure.
That's probably a good part of the sales. We ome of these companies were still using the original Ranger and finally have something that is a suitable replacement with a low (relatively speaking) purchase price and low operating costs. For fleets that's important. But there are quite a few personal sales too because I believe the XLT is the best selling trim level. Most fleets buy the XL trim.no idea if its relevant or not but fleet sales might be a huge number of them.

And there was a temporary stop sale in June for the air bag warning light. I remember it went into effect shortly after I purchased mine in mid May
Thanks Darryl, I sorta figured it was, it would be pretty easy for me to see 10 fleet mavericks to 2 personal ones in a day in my area. I've gotten to the point that i look for the company name to see if i recall seeing it before. Many are the typical fleet white but looks like the fleets do a vinyl wrap on them now and don't care about the factory color
Ford produces on a bell curve more or less. If the majority of the fleet vehicles are XL then they simply cannot make up the significant percentage of the increased sales.
