GM truck sales dropping even after the redesign of their pickups?That's going to make someone "nuts"...

LINK to the pickuptrucks.com numbers for September 2013...Ram and Ford upGM,Chevy and Toyota down

They took a strategic approach. Now truck shoppers will be forced into the 2014s.This is one reason. Another reason is that GM is still only building the 2014 in a crew cab. The regular cab which is what the commercial buyers will want is just starting to be built.

Did they stop production over at Nissan or what? Fred has nowhere but up to go. I'm sure that baby Cummins will certainly help Titans numbers.

Looks like the juvenile is stirring the pot! :R And I don't mean you Engineer.

I've been lucky enough to camp with him and your right, he is young. In fact I bet 2 out of my 4 son's are older than him. Well I guess young depends on one's age :E
I'm positive he wasn't speaking of you Andy sooooooo, don't go getting all upset again :W

That is the juvenile taunting I am referring to. I think you know you crossed the line with your Three Stooges comment. You don't have to admit to it, I don't care. Carry on. Moving forward I now know what to expect.

I'm positive I know who he was talking about. "nuts" in the OP.

You Dodge boys and your need to carry grudges over into the next brand loyalty thread is just down right creepy to me.

Would you like me to dig up some of your past jewels? Pot meet kettle... Suck it up.

Gimmie a break. :R

Again your math skill are showing.

How so, I used the #'s provided buy the OP. Ford is the #1 selling nameplate. Same as they are the #1 selling brand of vehicles in the USA. That is different than the manufacturer. GM makes the most vehicles on the USA.

These figures also include the 15 series trucks. If you take them out of the equation as true tow vehicles, you get a entirely different story as far as percentages. Lots of F150 running around as grocery getters and lots of GM 2500's. Get to the real meat in towing the 35 series diesel trucks will be almost dead even in numbers. I mean can you compare a Ridgeline to a F450? and include them in the same group?

Closest I can find is this article:

2012 HD Pickup Sales

The trend echoes there as well - Ford #1, Chevy #2, Ram #3. Except the 1 ton where Ford #1, Ram #2, Chevy #3.

There is no doubt Ford is #1 in sales of ALL pickups, GM combined is number 2, and of course Ram is last. Been the same way for many years now.

Actually for many years GM outsold Ford contrary to the "best selling F-series for years" ads that only considered models, not manufacturer. About the time of the loans and bailouts Ford jumped ahead for good.

2:1 huh? I guess you're not counting GMC as being made by GM?

Nope, GM doesn't count it, the auto rags don't count it, it's separate. And yes my back of the head math was off - needed the calculator for this one...

F-series 559,506
Chevy 350,775
Ram 262,787

Chevy: 350,775/559,506 = .626 or 62.6% of Ford's sales
Ram: 262,787/559,506 = .469 or 46.9% of Ford's sales

And just for S&G:
Chevy + GMC (135,670) = 486,445
486,445/559,506 = .869 or 86.9% of Ford's sales
. Thats funny I've always heard of them referred to as the BIG 3 not the BIG 3 + GMC. But whatever way it makes your math look better!

I've always considered them to belong together. I mean who here seriously thinks many GMC buyers would buy a Ford or Ram if a GMC weren't available?

After all, aren't these sales numbers only out there so current owners can feel great about how many others "agree" with their choice? :)
