Ford sales were up dramatically in February as the automaker continues to recover from last year's supply issues.
Deliveries increased 21% compared to last February and advanced 7.7% over January's results.
The upbeat report comes just weeks after Ford reported a nearly $2 billion loss in 2022 due largely to reduced production.
Its best-selling F-Series line saw a 21.5% spike year over year and its entire truck lineup is up 18.6% so far this year, according to spokesman Mike Levine.

Among them were 3,600 electric F-150 Lightning pickups, which were delivered before production was idled indefinitely due to an issue with the full-size truck's battery pack.
Ford delivered a total of 8,770 electric vehicles through February, including the Mustang Mach-E and E-Transit van.
The automaker this week announced that it had received an order for 9,250 E-Transits from the U.S. Postal Service that it will begin delivering in December.
