Ford makes most of its money on trucks: the F-Series has been America's best-selling vehicle line for decades, and the Pro division serving commercial fleets is the profit engine, layering software and services onto work vehicles. Passenger EVs have absorbed heavy losses while the company balances electric investment against a still-dominant combustion and hybrid business. Family voting control has kept Ford independent since its founding by Henry Ford in 1903, and the dividend remains central to its investor base.
