Good month for ram indeed !! does not mean GM trucks aren't good enough. End of year sales will say that. GMs heavy dutys are just barely out, so those numbers aren't as high now as usual due to many waiting to buy once lots have some inventory. Will like to see the numbers after a few months into GMs HD trucks being out.

So come September and the sales are still similar what will you have to say then?

I would venture to say the half-tons carry the bulk of the (numbers) volume...and the Silverados ARE NOT good enough compared to RAM. Again, coming from a Silverado owner.

OK tell me why I should support Canada over Mexico?

Let me take a stab - because the government of Mexico for the most part is corrupt-the drug gangs are running certain parts of the country? They basically (or barely) don't pay the workers a living wage to put together your truck?

Great answer and I feel the same.

Basically, Ram needs to give their trucks away to sell them. I just saw in the local paper that Ram is offering AGAIN a no charge cummins + other incentives in the HD trucks!

Maybe Fiat/Chrysler can offer the larger discounts because their manufacturing costs are much lower being in Mexico? I myself prefer to contribute to the north american economy as much as possible.

Where is this free Cummins incentive? I may just have to jump on that!

Deal is for Canadians, American prices will still be lower even with our incentives.
No charge Cummins

That deal is for leftover 2013 models only.....not many of those around anymore, at least not around where I live. I'd know, I just finished shopping for a new truck.

Come to Alberta, plenty left! Besides, you weren't shopping for a diesel?

I bought my half-ton Silverado at $12,000.00 off sticker. RAM isn't the only manufacturer to deeply discount trucks. GM was discouting their trucks like crazy in th 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 model years. RIGHT NOW-RAM is a better truck-discounts or not. BTW-My Silverado-it's made in Mexico. You post really shows a lack of research.

Now-GM is trying to say their trucks are better than anyone elses-and we want you to pay for it. Well-the sales chart says something different-doesn't it?

Sorry for the confusion, I was referring to the HD trucks.. I don't RV with half ton trucks!

A half-ton truck will tow a 29 foot - 5,500 pound travel trailer around the U.S.A. to the tune of over 8,000 miles in 8 months with out any issues. I did it a year ago.

Yep if they were offering a free Cummins I would jump all over that! But we aren't so I'll stick with the baby 3.0 Eco-Diesel.

Got to say, I have to wounder if Bloomburg has a ton of GM stock :h . It doesn't take a financial genius to figure out why GM is tightening up their purse strings. They know they have a boat load of lawsuits and fines heading their way. They are going to need every penny they have just to stay solvent over the next four years.

I don't think their new CEO made any points with congress nor the public with her testimony early this week. Add the fact that they are now recalling their new trucks and SUV's for a possible fire hazard. Man it's been a tough year for GM so far.

Nothing worse then going out on a test drive and have the truck catch fire! I can hear the salesman right now, "see I told you the new 2015 Yukon was a hot truck! :B :W Clicky
