Am surprised that no-one posted anything about this yesterday that it was reported that Fords F-series have been the #1 selling truck for 40 years. Not being a smart alec just cuz I own a Ford, just saying what I read.

I see.

In Canada Ford used to sell both Ford and Mercury pickup tricks, till the 1968 model year. After that model year, Ford of Canada dropped the Mercury line and sold only Ford pickups at both Ford and Mercury lines.

Our family business had a '68 Mercury M250...300 inline six, 3 on the tree. Good work truck.

Chevrolet used to out sell Ford and Mercury, till Ford dropped the Mercury truck line...then Ford became # 1 in pickup truck sales in Canada

But if over the years, add up Chevy and GMC pickup truck numbers sold in Canada and the USA, a lot of times the 'General' sells the most pickup trucks.

As a result of all this history...I regard Ford pickup sales numbers in both the USA/Canada, in the same vein as a clever accountant works financial numbers.

Total pickup truck sales champion, a lot of times goes to GM, when you count all GMC and Chevrolet pickup truck numbers. But if you count just one badge...ie; Ford...then Ford wins the title.
