DETROIT (Reuters) -- Ford and DaimlerChrysler Monday reported much slower U.S. sales in June.
Ford said that U.S. vehicle sales fell 7 percent last month, hurt by a decline in truck sales.
The second-largest U.S. automaker said it sold 269,404 vehicles in the United States last month, compared with 289,449 vehicles a year earlier.
Results for Ford include its import brands and some medium- and heavy-duty trucks.
DaimlerChrysler said U.S. vehicle sales fell 13 percent, led by a decline in its truck-heavy Dodge brand and its Jeep sport utility vehicles.
The German automaker said it sold 206,748 vehicles in the United States last month, compared with 238,274 vehicles a year earlier.
