Ram up 48% for the one month (April 2013) only but only 23% for the YTD vs 2012. Chevrolet Silverado alone is up 23.5% for the same YTD sales.

It takes a lot less numbers of actual truck sales to increase 23% having 109,003 total sold than having a 23% increase with 156,044 total sold. Like approx only 65% of an actually sold number of trucks or 1.5 to 1 required to equal. Use the math you learned in school and don't be misled.

Wow, what a great way to take good news and turn it into bad news. As a graduate of the School of Hard Knocks, I learned that a 23% YTD increase is better than a 23% YTD decrease. That's the math I learned in school.

The Chevy sales increase is due to increased incentives up to 16.4%. The highest in the industry.

Yahoo News "The company also saw a $200 million drop in operating earnings as it was forced to offer pricing deals on its current large truck line ahead of the launch of the new models"
