Wow, Ford's doing a fabulous job.
With the "oldest" truck of the bunch.- ~DJ~,
Yes, the present Colorado and Canyon trucks are discontinued and are being replaced with a totally new mid-sized truck with higher load carrying capacities and a larger cab giving more passenger room. It's presently is not scheduled to be built in Shreveport, LA where the Colorado and Canyon were being built. travelnutz wrote:

All are doing great. The big 3 plus Toyota all over 20% increase over last year.
I am guessing the bottom 6 or 7 will not be around much longer based on those sales numbers.
Don't forget Fred Diaz is driving the ship over at Nissan. I'm sure he'll have a positive impact on that product line.
Having said that the Nissan Titan numbers are so dismal anyone with some common sense could improve that product line. Throw a V8 Cummins under the hood and you make the front line news and watch your product grow! :B
Troy are you trying to get me going? :W If Fred was so great why did Ram give him the boot, he went from president and CEO of Ram and Chrysler Mexico to divisional vice president, Nissan Sales & Marketing, Nissan U.S. Hope he does better over there then he did with us.
Absolutely correct. And the reason he was let go, was likely that he directed all the needed changes. But didn't have the production processes, or vendor commitments, to make it happen early enough in the model year. Pretty basic stuff, really. So his common sense leaves a little to be desired. Based on his common sense at RAM his track record is suspect. Hope he learned from that experience.Vulcaneer wrote:

RAM sold more trucks in one day during August than Nissan sold Titan's all month of August. And the Titan continues a downward trend in sales. I'm sure Fred will bring more features to the Titan like the Cummins that will increase sales. Stay tuned...
BTW... I thought Fred left Macarroni! :B
- Troy COE's are asked to leave unless they rrrreeeellllllyyyy mess up. The tell that he was told to hit the road is the fact that he went from COE of Chrysler De Mexico and President of Ram pulling down a seven figure income, to take a job as a VP at maybe mid six figure income?
I know your a lot smarter then that Troy.
Don - Still waiting on Gm's 2500 dmax and their impact.
