That should boost Midsizers even more. Too bad Toyota is not doing it with the Tacoma

what I've found interesting over the years is two statements, both correct.

The ford Fseries is the largest selling pickup brand in the U.S. (302,000)
GM sells more pickups than does ford.( 306,000) (350,000 if you add in colorado and canyon, without any ford rangers available anymore)

And GM doesn't seem to do much/any advertising that they outsell ford. At least that I'm aware of.

Just that GM has two brands, Chevrolet and GMC, and 2 or 4 product lines depending on how you want to slice and dice it

and it looks like the ridgline is pretty much gone. wonder if honda even offers it anymore.

You forgot to mention Jeep, who makes NOTHING BUT SUVs....

Wrangler 2 door
Wrangler 4 door
Renegade (new as of a month ago)
Cherokee
Grand Cherokee
SRT8 Grand Cherokee (this is the GO FAST version)
Patriot
Compass

The Texas two step :R

GM is really having a good year. Either that or a bad 2014 :W

But hey, I'm just some guy in Texas, so what do I know?

I think choice and needs are factors
