I'm in Canada. Never heard of these boys. That could be why Ford didn't give a rats a$$ about the comparison.

And since the F series has been the best selling "brand" in Canada for over 40 years as well, why bother. These tests have little significance to sales. Consumers speak with their wallets, not some 3rd rate online publication that no one has heard of.

GM is actually the number one selling brand.

Chevy and GMC are brands, GM is the parent company.

Ford builds a nice truck. Had they had a decent dealer network here in town I would have not looked elsewhere. At least until I started working for Chrysler anyway.

OK then tell me why did Ford change their commercial from the F-150 is the highest selling truck. To F-Series are the highest selling trucks? I posted a link showing that all F-Series are included. Please post a link showing I am wrong and I will be more than happy to retract my post.

Really Don.. :S
You post a link to Wikipedia???
As if that tells you anything.

Did anyone bother to read the **** article?

Under the half ton truck segment it said this " Of course I have to mention what is missing from the list. Ford. The leader in half-ton Canadian truck sales choose not to compete. Despite having entered trucks in every other Truck King competition since 2006 this year they declined. No specific reason was given and while I certainly have my own theories as to why, I won’t speculate. They were invited – they said no – we continued on without them."

As for Ford being number one in truck sales. Well it's all in how you say it and Ford says "Ford F-Series trucks are the number one selling truck in America. It should be noted that all trucks built by Ford are labeled F-Series. Problem is they are the only ones selling 650 and 750 trucks and they add those trucks into their numbers.

"The Ford F-Series is a series of light-duty trucks and medium-duty trucks (Class 2-7) that have been marketed and manufactured by Ford Motor Company since 1948. While most variants of the F-Series trucks are full-size pickup trucks, the F-Series also includes chassis cab trucks and commercial vehicles. The Ford F-Series has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States since 1981 and the best-selling pickup since 1977.[1][2] It is also the best selling vehicle in Canada." LINK

Smart marketing and since most people are to lazy to do any real research for themselves it has worked out very well for Ford. Funny when you ask the Reps at the Auto Shows about this they just look at you all dumbfounded and say they are not aware of that or just walk away from you. LOL

Again very very smart of Ford and a big thumbs up for having the best marketing team bar none! They build a great truck just like their competitors do.

Don, you should stick to posting info about FCA which you seem fairly accurate about.

This post of yours is just silly, you know that the F650/750 numbers are not included in the monthly sales numbers Ford and other "manufacturers" post.

In 2016 Ford was the highest sales volume manufacturer in Canada. FCA 2nd
In 2015 FCA was highest. Ford 2nd.

The fellow from Alberta just ignores the fact that for both years GM was 3rd and try's to say they were highest.. :S

95 percent of GM's sold in the last 12 years are still on the road................ the other 5percent made it home without breaking down.

Yes, I did. In fact, I posted the same sentences a couple of posts before you.

Please read the other posts before you make general sweeping statements about all the 'other' posts.

Did anyone bother to read the **** article? ON EDIT: to exclude Lessmore, feel better now buddy?

These guys have been doing the Truck Challenge for years here in Ontario. They use different drivers and swap around the trucks. They tow heavy loads and do offroad tests as well to get an all-around view. I seem to recall that Ford didn't put a truck in this year. Might have been some sort of transition year for Ford or something, as they are always represented in the Challenge.

Interesting to note the following about Ford in the link.

"Of course I have to mention what is missing from the list. Ford. The leader in half-ton Canadian truck sales choose not to compete. Despite having entered trucks in every other Truck King competition since 2006 this year they declined. No specific reason was given.."

Why this would be, I don't know. I've got a buddy who has a 2013 F150 he has had from new. It's a very good truck, no problems so far.
