Almost 90 ,000 Truck sales for GM in July

[MARK_VANDERBENT]

GM twins outsell Ford in July. Colorado and canyon just keep moving up. GM trucks together almost hit 90,000. Ford trucks 65,000. GM says they are going to pump out more production because they have been holding back to be more conservative.

The July numbers alone say it all as displayed by the sales as to which manufacturer's pickup trucks are most wanted and are actually purchased:

GM 89,271

Ford 65,657

Ram 39,827

Toyota 27,054

Nissan 8,387

Honda 3,518

Looks like Ram should be getting very nervous because Toyota is so close in sales and may drop Ram to 4th soon. The sales leader, GM, sold 2.24 pickups to every Ram reported sold. Also, GM announced that they are going increase their production capability of pickups as the demand has outstripped their present manufacturing supply ability which is leaving so many dealers without any trucks to even sell.

Of note! Who knows how many Fiat Rams were actually sold because Ram has been knowingly inflating their actual sales numbers, been double counting, and are presently under federal investigation and has the documentation for it's knowingly having been inflating their actual sales numbers for years on end now? Toyota may be even closer to Ram in actual numbers of pickups sold already!

I wonder what percent is the deisel version of the canyon/Colorado platform in sales... Toyota Tacoma has always been top sales in the mid sized market as far as I can recall.
