The truth is that Ford sells more diesel pickups than General Motors and Dodge/Ram combined. They always have, month after month, year after year.
One source of large Ram sales has always been governmental fleet bids--at lowest price. The U.S. Army used to also buy substantial numbers of Rams because of price.
I'm just sorry that my subscription to Automotive News has expired--the place with the numbers. I'm no longer working the automotive world.
The reason the military purchased Dodge RAM trucks was a disguised US government bailout of the Chrysler Corporation during the Lee Iacocca days.
Would love to see some data to back up any of this.
Chrysler has been reducing the number of fleet sales for years. Last I saw, their % of fleet sales is significantly lower than Ford or GM.
And nice touch Fish. Throw out the Iacocca days (what was that, 25 years ago now, or 30) and once again have NO way to back up your claims. Or, is this another six degrees of separation from you?
