RAM passes FORD in HD sales.

Reading "Heavy Duty Trucking" Jan 2016 issue. HDT and other trade mags publish sales reports for various classes of trucks sorted by brand and class.
For November 2015 in class 3,4,5, 10001-19500 lb class, Ram outsold Ford 43.01 percent to 35.14 percent. A pretty good margin.

Ram, Nov 12,345/ YTD 141,423/ 43.01 percent
Ford, Nov 10,307/ YTD 115,553/ 35.14 percent
Chevrolet Nov 2867/ YTD 34,497/ 10.49 percent

Other brands in this class are; Freightliner, GMC, HINO, International, Isuzu, KW, Mitsubishi for a total of 328,819 units.

    Not gonna bash
    Will point out what OP quoted "without a link" to info..
    According to his figures Fiat outsold Ford and GM in certain class's of trucks.

    Does not include the popular 250/2500 series.
    Includes 450/4500 and 550/5500 series which GM does not even offer.

    So it is kinda selective class's, no?

    Anyway, all I got to say to that is like they usually say when Ford is said to be best selling "brand" of trucks.

    "McDonalds sells the most burgers, that don't make them the best!"
    :B :B :B :B :B :B :B

    I don't know what the figures would be with 250/2500 included?
    Fiat may still be ahead of Ford.

    Good on Ram. Would the Cummins be a big reason?

    GM's number are really small.

    I think the Cummins is the BIGGEST reason... it was for me at least!

    Unless I read it wrong, it looks like that chart only includes CHEVY, not Chevy and GMC. Those numbers might be a little skewed.

    This would be the first time I owned the "most popular" truck. Doesn't change my perspective either way though. The Ram was the best truck for ME... I really don't care what other people buy :)!

    Many years ago we owned a Fiat. It was a great car. I've owned vehicles from many manufacturers over the years. I buy what I like.

    Actually when I bought the Fiat, I didn't know Fiat owned Dodge.

    All comes down to buyers preference. Sometimes out the door price helps make a decision, too.
  • It's an individual choice. Apparently the buyers like Fiat more than Ford. :B :B
