Ford Australia has posted its best monthly sales result in 16 years with 10,103 vehicles delivered in June 2025, beaten only by the perennial market-leading Toyota.
The Blue Oval’s June 2025 figure was its best monthly result since June 2009, when it delivered 10,194 vehicles – led by its now defunct Falcon, but with the Ranger its next-best nameplate.
Leading the charge in June 2025 was the Ranger with 6293 deliveries, fending off arch-rival Toyota HiLux by a mere 98 units for its best result since December 2023.
The Ranger, which was Australia’s best-selling vehicle in both 2023 and 2024, leads the HiLux year-to-date by 2044 deliveries, the pair ranked as the top two best-selling vehicles in Australia to the end of June 2025.

Ford’s second-best seller last month was the Everest – an SUV spun-off the Ranger – with 2705 deliveries to lead the large SUV segment ahead of the Toyota LandCruiser Prado’s 2177.
Yet the LandCruiser Prado is ahead of the Everest year-to-date, the Toyota’s 15,583 deliveries up a whopping 345.5 per cent to see it outstrip the Ford’s 12,294.
Beyond the SUV and dual-cab ute segments, the Transit had its best month since May 2011, with 247 delivered including 17 Transit buses.
Ford’s June success saw it second for the month overall, but the brand remains third year-to-date with Mazda still ahead on 48,942 sales to Ford’s 47,300, both trailing a dominant Toyota’s 20,225.
Ford faces a tough second half of 2025 with an ever-growing number of Ranger competitors, including the recently launched BYD Shark 6 and GWM Cannon Alpha, as well as the highly anticipated Kia Tasman dual-cab ute of which deliveries will commence this month.
There’s also Australia’s NVES (New Vehicle Efficiency Standard), designed to encourage manufacturers to offer vehicles emitting less carbon dioxide (CO2), to navigate.
The future of some Ford powertrains and showroom prices has been impacted by NVES, according to the automaker, which brings lower CO2 emissions targets annually until 2029.
The automaker has reduced the power of its upcoming Ranger Super Duty (pictured below) as a direct response to the new emissions laws.
The 2.0-litre ‘Panther’ engine in the entry-level Ranger – also used in the Transit – has been dropped from the United Kingdom (UK) Ranger lineup as it won’t meet upcoming emissions standards there.
Although Ford Australia won’t officially comment on the engine’s local future, its own CO2 emissions figures for the 2.0-litre turbo-diesel reveal it won’t meet NVES standards from 2026.
This means Ford Australia faces financial penalties if it keeps the engine in sale in new-car showrooms next year.
The fines – which came into effect on July 1, 2025 – have already been blamed in part for a $5000 increase to the list price of the Ford Mustang.
The NVES allows automakers like Ford to offset larger, ‘dirtier’ vehicles with more low-emission vehicles such as electric vehicles (EVs).
But 86 per cent (or 40,605) of Fords delivered in the first half of this year were Ranger or Everest models, with Ford’s EVs selling in much smaller volumes. The Mustang Mach-E, for example, accounted for just 251 out of Ford’s 47,300 deliveries.
