The whole 25 year best selling is not in comparison to CHEVY and GMC together. GM trucks have outsold ford trucks many years over the last 15 they have switched off leads back and fourth. This is not my opinion, this is FACT !!. Check into it all u want. Ford thinks they can claim 25 years #1 sales because they put only against chevy, and any real truck guy will tell u GM trucks include CHEVY and GMC. Still happy for ford, and as I am a GM guy glad to see all three companys doing good.

And for many of those last 15 years, Ford outsold the combined Chevy and gmc badges too. Iirc, last year was close at just over 60,000 trucks...

gijoecam: You recall correctly, except it's been 31 years. From autoblog.com:
"The best-selling vehicle in all the land last year was, of course, the Ford F-Series pickup. If our math is correct, that makes its string of sales crowns 31-years long. While last year's performance of 645,316 units sold is far from the 900,000+ sold in 2001, 2004 and 2005, it was still enough to best the F-150's main competitor and second-best-selling vehicle of 2012, the Chevrolet Silverado, plus that truck's twin, the GMC Sierra, combined."

Clicky

A quick search of truck sales for the last couple of years shows Ford selling more than Chevy and GM combined. Maybe there was a year somewhere where the combined Chevy/GM sales were higher, but I can't seem to find it...

And if the GM/Chevy guys want their truck sales combined, then should Ford sales include the Lincoln Mark LT pickups?
