Number like this don't represent the reality of our current topic. If there were statistical data that compared choice of vehicle for RVer's or haulers, that would be more applicable to this discussion. Unfortunately, its highly doubtful that such information exists.
When comparing vehicle purchases in general, you have to consider the effect of fleet purchases by both large and small corporations. You have to consider fleet purchases by municipal owners (cities, states, etc.) too. For those purchases, low bid wins. The local RAM dealer may not be able to compete with Ford on the regular cab, 3/4 ton series with long bed, vinyl seats, gas engine, basic radio package...being sold a dozen at a time. But the Ram dealer might be winning big time on individual sales to haulers or private parties needing a tow vehicle.
