OK I know from the get go this is opening a can of worms but I still have to ask... Since Ford has so many fleet customers, is this the reason they can claim to be number one in truck sales?

Feel free to correct me, going on memory, but wasn't the 150 not just the best selling truck in America, but the best selling VEHICLE in America for quite a few years? Just recently dropped that tag line and changed it to "truck" IIRC.
I agree, it doesn't make it the best truck by virtue of the sales numbers. But it does mean an aweful lot of people think it's the vehicle they'd rather drive at the price point compared to the competition. It doesn't need to be the best truck, it just has to cover the most bases for the most people at a price they can live with. I personally think it many times comes down to aethetics. When the realization hit me that not only did my truck have what I wanted for the price I was willing to pay, but I would also have to look at it in my driveway every day, it was a sealed deal. I like the looks of the Tundra's next, the new Rams are just OK. I've hated the looks of the Superduty's for several years now, really hoping for an upgrade til I'm ready to consider my next truck. And just what the heck is Chevy and GMC thinking? That whole squared wheel well look is just hiddeous to me. If I hate to look at it, I won't drive it.
