Ford said it sold 287,975 vehicles, including imports and heavy trucks. Car sales dropped 37 percent, based on a daily selling rate that adjusts for one more sales day in October than in the year-earlier month, to 104,621. Ford's truck total declined 32 percent to 183,354. The second-largest automaker said its total sales fell 31 percent without the adjustment.
Sales of F-Series pickups, the Dearborn, Michigan-based company's best-selling line of vehicles, dropped 42 percent to 61,686. Explorer, the best-selling sport-utility, fell 23 percent to 35,683. Sales of the Expedition large sport-utility declined 7.5 percent to 14,780. That was the highest monthly sales since the redesigned vehicle debuted in June.
Among cars, sales of Taurus sedans fell 19 percent to 28,264. The company's Ford division sold 239,142 cars and trucks, a 34 percent decline from last year.

Minivan sales fell 37 percent to 24,885 and sport-utilities dropped 29 percent to 44,688. The automaker's only model with an increase was the Dodge Neon small car, up 19 percent.
Toyota's U.S. sales fell 18 percent for and 24 percent for trucks. The automaker said earlier in the month that its sales probably would drop 10 percent to 15 percent from the company's initial forecasts because of the 10-day West Coast port shutdown.
Only two Toyota models, the gasoline-electric Prius car and the Land Cruiser sport-utility vehicle, had increases.
Nissan Motor Co.'s sales fell 13 percent as the economy slowed and the port shutdown cut into vehicle availability, said Bill Kirrane, Nissan vice president and general manager of the Nissan division, in an interview.
Incentives have ``kind of drained the market,'' he said.
Nissan's car sales fell 1.1 percent and its truck total dropped 29 percent. Only the Altima sedan had a gain, rising 13 percent.
