I didn't see a December or 2020 year end sales results thread. Nothing really surprising but we do have a new #2 in the US market - Toyota has been nipping at Ford's heels for about 10 years and Ford always managed to pull off a big month or two in the 4th quarter to pull away from Toyota. But not 2020... With F-150 in model switchover mode and delays to several new model launches (Bronco Sport, MACH E), Ford couldn't defend its #2 spot and trailed Toyota by about 60k units.
2020
Ford 1,939,334
Lincoln 105,410
Total Ford 2,044,744
Toyota 1,837,900
Lexus 275,041
Total Toyota 2,112,941
2019
Ford 2,310,494
Lincoln 112,204
Total Ford 2,422,698
Toyota 2,085,235
Lexus 298,114
Total Toyota 2,383,349
Ford's numbers includes class 6 and 7 trucks. Toyota reports Hino truck numbers separately so it's not exactly apples to apples but ford only sold 10k class 6 and 7 trucks in 2020 so not a big factor.
This of course is not new for Ford... it has been getting bent over by Toyota in market after market in every regions of the world in the last 25 years. Also, if you include Toyota affiliates Subaru and Mazda where it has significant control, Toyota will zoom past GM as well in the US market.
Consolation prize: Ford brand squeezed past Toyota brand and retained the most popular brand title.
