I couldn't find numbers and sources.
You're not counting all pickup trucks? Only fullsize? GM also has a compact truck.
I honestly do not know if the little GM trucks are included in any figures or not. I think most figures mention Sierra and Silverado, so I would ASSUME they are not included.
Ford sells more F series in one month than GM sells colorado/canyon pickups in an entire year. That's probably part of the reason they discontinued them before their replacements were ready.
I believe the Ranger outsold the GM small twins every year they were both offered in the mid to late 2000's, and you'd have to include the Explorer Sport Trac in that math as well.
that still doesn't answer the question whether GM or Ford sell the most pickups. Traditionally, Ford F series was the top selling brand while GM/Chevy together outsold Ford. I also noticed that geography has a lot to do with popularity. Here in the west it appears Chevy is the popular brand and in the East it's Ford.
Traditionally, yes. But that hasn't been true since 2009, when Ford started outselling the GM twins.
The question was raised as to if GM's numbers included the compact pickups, to which I tried to illustrate that it probably didn't matter because they were such small # of sales, not to mention that they are out of production for the time being.
Then we get posters observing that Mcdonalds sells lots of hamburgers.
So I'll raise ya'll one: Bananas are a more popular fruit than Rambutan...:R
Here's the 2011 sales of compact trucks if there is anyone who actually cares:
