Interesting, GM twins combine to beat Ford in the 150/1500 market, but doesn't even get half/way in the 250/2500 market.
I personally believe it's the 'ride quality' that sells GM in the 150/1500 market, because a lot of buyers never use the 150/1500 truly as a work truck, it's more of a weekend yard work and light hauling for family projects, and even the GM interior looks like a car with a bed.
Whereas, the Ford really shines in the work/power category, so makes sense the ride would mean less at that level. When you want a truck to truly work, you care less about a rougher ride...
That's my opinion as a very long time GM owner and multiple GM trucks both 1500s and 2500s -- among a few other brands occasionally.
when you combine GM HD sales ford is only outselling them by 50k units. And this is an odd snapshot. You have leftover "old body styles" being sold and you have limited "new body styles" being stocked. have this same bar graph in December and look at the numbers.
