Ford Motor Company has announced its best-ever third quarter, with pre-tax profits totaling nearly $2.2 billion. There are a lot of people to thank for those results, but North American shoppers are at the top of the list.
In North America alone, Ford saw pre-tax revenue of over $2.3 billion -- a substantial increase from the $1.55 billion earned in the third quarter of 2011. As of September 30, Ford's North American operations had generated nearly $6.5 billion in pre-tax revenue for the year, which is bigger than its pre-tax figure for the entirety of 2011. Ford credits these numbers to its strong product lineup and brisk sales.
