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

Again your math skill are showing. My little equation of 1,308,738 trucks sold by the BIG three only show Ford with 42.7% market share, GM twins with 37.1% and Ram 20%. 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. Whats interesting is the change in sales figures the last few years. Ram's percentage back 13 years ago was like 5%. Clearly someone is losing market share and I'm certain it's not Honda.

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?
