Ford Motor Co.’s light-vehicle sales slipped 2 percent while other top automakers reported smaller gains than analysts had estimated as cold weather slowed showroom traffic.

Ford, which was projected to report a 5.8 percent increase in sales, said deliveries of F-Series pickups, Escape sport-utility vehicles and Fusion family cars all declined last month. General Motors Co.’s sales rose 4.2 percent, as sales of light trucks rose and sedans fell, missing estimates for a 5.9 percent increase.
