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
