July auto sales are in, and major manufacturers posted major gains despite Detroit's "Big Three" falling below analysts' expectations.
Ford sales climbed 11% from the month a year ago, with a 22.6% increase in the F-Series pickup.
Total U.S. new vehicle sales slipped to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 15.6 million.
However, Wards Auto reported that Ford couldn't even keep key models like the Focus and Escape from flying off the lots.
