Ford Motor Co of Canada said on Wednesday it was Canada?s top-selling automaker in 2011 for the second consecutive year, boosted by sales of its F-Series pickup truck.
Ford said it sold 275,978 vehicles in Canada last year, 3% more than in 2010. Truck sales again made up about three-quarters of its total sales.
?Full-sized trucks are experiencing record-breaking sales in Canada,? said Scott Cauvel, vice-president of sales at Ford Canada.
The F-Series was the top-selling vehicle in Canada for the second year in a row in 2011.
Ford was also Canada?s leading auto seller for the month of December, selling 19,381 vehicles, a dip of 0.5 percent from a year ago.
?We are optimistic that the Canadian auto industry will continue to grow in 2012,? Cauvel said in a statement.
Earlier, Chrysler Canada said it chalked up its best retail sales in nine years in 2011 and was also the No. 1 market share gainer in the country for the second year in a row.
The Detroit-based automaker said its sales rose 13% last year to 230,992, lifted by sales of its Ram pickup trucks. For the month of December, sales increased 2 percent to 14,628 vehicles.
?We experienced our highest retail sales results since 2002 and have two of the ?Top 5? best-selling vehicles in the country with our Ram truck and Dodge Grand Caravan,? Chrysler Canada President and Chief Executive Reid Bigland said in a statement.
