2020 sales

I have not seen this posted, but I have been gone a bit.

In the US of A, we sold almost 14.5 million vehicles, about 1.5 million were alternate fuel and of that about 659 thousand were diesel. The rest of the 1.5 million were electric, hybrid, and so on.

In the 3/4 ton and up, Ford, Ram and the GM twins (added together) all sold over 100,000 each. The number of Sprinter diesels really surprised me.

As Arte Johnson used to say: "Verrrry interesting" but I hope not a repeat.
  • GM HD trucks outsold Ford HD trucks by a huge margin in Q4 2020.

    GM (Chevy/GMC) HD trucks 69,500
    Ford HD trucks 47,610
    Ram HD trucks 35,477

    I find it interesting that Ford has been steadily losing marketshare to Ram for a number of years. However, if Ram doesn't get an 8-10 sp tranny bolted to their Cummins soon (not to mention a 100% cab update), I can very easily see this trend reversing.
