Ford's sales numbers will be down this year, as they're losing 13 weeks minimum production retooling for the new aluminum 1/2 ton. After that factory is up and working, they'll be taking their second light truck factory down for retooling.
Ford's not just engineering a truck. They're inventing machinery and tooling to build the truck at the same time. No mass market aluminum vehicle has ever been built.
If you want to talk numbers, the best production and sales numbers are out of Automotive News.
As far as I know, Ford still sells more diesel pickups than Ram and GM combined. It's been that way for many, many years. It helps to have a fine dealer base (sorry RAM) and a strong base of commercial customers.
