I'd actually like to see current sales numbers .
Here they are up to Sept 2013 http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2013/10/best-selling-pickup-trucks-september-2013.html
Not top domestic by a long shot. Talked to a Chevy Dealer Friend tells me having a hard time selling the new 2014. He is seeing more and more of his customers driving Fords and Rams while his pickup inventory is growing he is a bit worried.
If you compare September GM sales to Ford and also look at August sales, GM was selling at a fast pace in August, but dropped compared to 2012 rates in September.
August sales: http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2013/09/best-selling-pickup-trucks-august-2013.html
September sales: from link above http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2013/10/best-selling-pickup-trucks-september-2013.html
It is interesting to note that if you add up GM and Chevy truck sales they nearly equal Ford F-Series year to date in August, but fall short in September year to date. In a few more days, the October YTD will be out, and probably will indicate that GM has slipped even more behind Ford.
Fred.
My addition says Ford had about a 50,000 unit lead in August and extended it in September. That is hardly "nearly equal". I agree that the October numbers will show that trend continuing. Ram is eating away at GM truck sales with price but doesn't seem to be proportionate at taking Ford sales.
