So you shifted your debate from being sold outside of US markets to where they will produced? How does this matter in regard to the amount of trucks being sold in the US? Especially since the new USMCA trade agreement requires 75% of a vehicle made in US, Mexico, or Canada to avoid a tariff.
Selling to markets outside leverages costs.Tariffs have nothing to do with a downturn in production

There is a big difference between a there will be assumption and what is. Especially from an article written in the second month of the 2019. The actual most up to date numbers says they are dead wrong in their assumption since there has only been 73.3 million sold the first 10 months of 2019.
Several things where the 5 million Pickups and the 3 million sold in the US figures? You mentioned
No that article states a much lower figure, but comes up with 100 million

It actually is considering it is a full US Tier 3 emissions equipped vehicle with a NOx limit much lower than Euro 6. Also, the B50 life on the Cummins ISB is 350,000 miles(560,000 km).
What has that got to do with it.? Emissions have no impact 100,000 miles is nothing for any Pickup. 350,000 miles on the Cummins seems pretty low indeed, seeing a 3 litre ISuzu gets 220,00 before a rebuild
