But just remember, McDonalds sells the most burgers too. Sure they'll do the trick, but doesn't mean they're good for you! Lol

LOL... So are you saying DiGiorno is better?

Gee, the 36K sticker on a new Tundra Double Cab with the 5.7L engine and tow package I looked at seems a veritable bargain compared to similar offering of the Detroit manufacturers...... Nonetheless, lot o' money!

Saw the same article. Problem is the high payment of new autos. $30,000 average price and $500.00 for payments. A recipe for disaster.

There are not any bargains on used trucks right now....the resale prices on used are currently ridiculous!

Ah, the old complain about numbers as usual. At least they are up vs what was going on in the months before 08 election! Which could happen again in a moment's notice!

Must admit I am a bit surprised to see overall numbers down in May 2016 over May 2015 for the big three (full-size category). Gas prices are down, interest rates are low, and we have heard that auto sales in general have been up.

Maybe everyone bought in April???

Maybe a well equipped half-ton stickering at $46,000.00 is giving some people pause now.

A good $10,000.00 more than what my 2011 Silverado half-ton sticker for equipped about the same.

Not surprised at Ford numbers at all, the others all seem to have fallen. The GM faithful will be along shortly to do some creative math while Ram breathes down their neck.

Seems to me you are stoking the fire-pit, shame on you.

I say congratulations to all the manufactures, good sales numbers for all (what is a Ridgeline) makes for healthy competition which is good for us as buyers.

You misunderstood me completely, I was just stirring the GM faithful. LOL

Infantile.

I will jump in and add that GM trucks with the new Colorado and canyon doing very well, total out more than fords 150 to 650 line up . Im sure this is what means something to GM. They are making more and selling more as far as the whole truck line goes. We are also half year away from GM and navistars 4500 to 6500 new trucks. I did see testing of that truck and looks to be GMs cab and duramax with navistars frame and chassis.
