Fla-gypsy, Got it. I thought perhaps my third grade math lessons of addition had let me down. I guess if you add all 4 GM product lines together they are out selling Ford volume wise but thats across two different market segments. I see, there is some twisting and turning of numbers there.
Are you forgetting the 450-550 that GM doesn't offer which are certainly included in Ford's numbers? What is there to twist? This argument is about as retarded as the Chevy and GMC truck sales numbers must be kept separate. GM built a midsize pickup and the numbers in which it sells contribute the total number of pickups sold. If Ford doesn't like it, they can build one as well, and it's numbers would count toward total number of pickups they sell.
KSSS, you are true about the F450. That is still called a pick-up. The article is based on P/U sales. I found and article that does state Ford considers the F450 when built with a boxed bed with tailgate a P/U. So yes they include the F450. Don't know how many.
I am pretty sure that the F550 counts in Ford's F series sales, even though it may not meet the strict description of what a pickup is. I think it would be the same as any F350/3500 that is sold with a pickup box delete. It is really still a pickup and certainly counts in every OEM's pickup sales even though it doesn't have pickup box.
