PS...another laughable thing is that the Blue Oval sales are lumped
into one 'F series', while GM's is separated into several rows...if
you add all of those rows up...the sum usually surpasses or is neck

Guess the Blue Oval can then have Mercury's sales numbers added to up
it some more...
Ben, I know from reading your posts that you are a pretty intelligent fellow so you probably know what I am going to remind you of...:@
Where would you suggest Ford split their sales numbers to instead of "lumping" them all together??? They only have one line.
GM could easily just build all their trucks as either Chev OR GMC then they could lump them all together.
As far as your Mercury comment, that nameplates gone like Olds and Pontiac so nothing to add in. Ford's doing not bad with just the one "brand"
PS...
Up till 1968 Ford Motor Company had Mercury branded trucks in Canada.
I remember helping switch grill, tailgate, and side nameplates on a burgundy Mercury truck in the showroom to Ford brand as they made a last minute decision to kill the Mercury truck name.
The guy who bought it was watching and kinda pi$$ed that he couldn't get the Merc..
They DID NOT add the numbers together for sales reporting, was 2 columns just like the current GM so maybe that's why they did it?:B
Let they say F-Series was the best selling "nameplate/brand" (not manufacturer) of trucks.
