I noticed you conveniently left off the GMC

GMC 53,009

Total GM 196,707

Someone can correct me but I think "F" series is 150, 250, 350, 450, 550, 650, and 750 combined???

No, I don't think the F650/F750 are in those numbers according to this Q1 sales release from Ford.

F-Series 186,562
Ranger 20,980
E-Series 10,098
Transit 36,836
Transit Connect 7,565
Heavy trucks 1,716
Ford Trucks 263,757

Ford Q1 2020 Sales Release

Although, Ford counts their vans as trucks as well in this since that is how they are categorized by the EPA and NHTSA which matters more over public opinion.

Just curious, how will you spend the check(s) you are getting?

Recouping savings because I had to spend $5k on a new zero turn last month.


As far as the topic. I am not sure why how much each one is selling matters that much other than bragging rights for your favorite manufacturer. It depends on how you want to look at it. If you want to look at brands only, then Ford wins. If you want to look at all full size truck from the dealer groups then the GM wins. I a not sure if these numbers include mid size trucks. You can also stretch this out past just US sales and look at global sales which Ford will likely win due to how popular the Ranger is globally. But as a I said, it is just for fan boy bragging rights.

I believe one thing that is helping GM right now is their deep incentives they started in February after Chevy fell below Ram in January. They were practicality giving them away around here. Another thing that may have also led to these numbers is the fact that Ford's fleet purchases(which they heavily rely on) are probably really low right now because many fleets may be holding on to trucks instead of getting new ones because of all the uncertainty. Just my opinion based on what we are seeing at our 120+ dealerships nationwide.

Excellent point. It will help some people. It will give others more money to hoard things they don't need.
What ever happens, I think the world as we know it has changed forever.

????? You have 1000's of hard working working people through no fault of there own now out of work. As an older person through my lifetime I have accumulated a decent nest egg to survive on but when i was young with a family we basically lived from pay check to pay check. I'm sure there gonna run out and buy frivolous things like food, medicine, and gas.

I was a Carpenter, I NEVER purchased anything unless I had $$$ in the bank to pay for it. Exception a home loan. I survived every layoff whether it was 1-2-4 weeks or the two times it was 6 months. Served me well!!! NEVER went hungry or didn't pay our debts.

Same time many friends had way more TOYS and their combined pay was not as much as mine, YEP they lost everything more than once.

My way of life allowed me to draw a great retirement at 55 and now drawing SS at 62. I am not hurt by this at all financially. Fact is I am spending much less now with all the restrictions.

I have ZERO sympathy for many of those that live week to week.

Retired carpenter here as well. Mostly interior/exterior commercial construction. Laid off numerous times. Never had to file bankruptcy or have a toy sale to pay the bills.
I think most unemployed will just sail right through the next 4 months as if nothing happened. My son's about to get laid off in a week. He says with the $600 extra on unemployment he'll float right through. Oregons max unemployment is $538+$600=$1138.
I'm guessing thats a little more than he makes right now from normal wages, well see. Now throw in the $4400 he'll get from his stimulus check and he could go 6 months and not miss a beat.
Maybe the State will adjust it so he doesn't receive more than normal wages, well see.


What may be the real eye opener to those laid off is if they have the same job to go back to before their unemployment runs out.

Those who "need" it and those who "deserve" it...are rarely a single person.

Those who are responsible generally have an emergency fund, so they may not "need" it.

Those who lived beyond their means aren't responsible already but they do "need" it.

Of course, this is not a normal economic downturn.

I don't "need" it but I'm sure I will be paying it back in taxes multiple times over, so I don't feel bad about taking it.

I hope GM does well to help them survive the down turn. It will be a struggle for the auto manufacturers in general. On the positive side there ought to be some killer deals on vehicles if you have disposable income to purchase.

If I were to purchase a new truck it would probably be the Ford with the new 7.3 gas motor.
