That can work against you when you are buying.
When I ordered my 2000 F250 back in summer of 99, the prices were not even released. Prices were out when it got built but no incentives listed. I figured by time it arrived would have some deals on?
Apparently the Superduty's were so hot then, Ford offered nothing, no low rates thru Ford Credit, no extra deals for dealership employees, no nothing.
There's the price, pay it or someone else will.

I paid it but refused to use Ford Credit in protest.. :B

So it "can" work against you when your "brand" is too successful.

That wasn't the case when I ordered 2014 Focus last fall. :W

Ford hands down has the best marketing. Sales numbers prove it!!

Funny all these posts about "looks". I've never bought a truck based on looks, only capability. Even my homely '85 C20 was bought to do a specific task.

I don't like the look of the new 1500's either. Did like the 2010 GMC back when I was shopping though.

As a nearly life-long GM truck owner, I don't like the looks of any new truck, especially the front view.

Best look (in my opinion) the '03 version of GMC X-cab, and with the wing-doors (extremely effective for loading0. But, of course, the feds kicked that wing door design out. Can't imagine that small door post makes that much difference, but not an engineer either, so maybe it does.

I picked the Chevy Dbl Cab because it was available, ready when I wanted to buy a truck, and if I don't truly like the looks of one over the other, what matters? I buy a truck so it will WORK ... 2500HD does its job, and that's really what matters with a truck. None are much better or much worse in design or features, although any brand can have a 'lemon' built one day or another.
