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?

It's all about value=what you get for what you pay. I guess a lot of people think Ford Trucks are a good value. That doesn't necessarily mean they are the "best," but rather they deliver the most things people want for the least money.

For me, the "best" truck is the one that does the job you need done. That could be a Mazda B3000 or a RAM 3500HD DRW Cummins Diesel. OR, it might even be Ford!

They are #1 in "sales" which is a quantity factor, not a quality factor. And yes, I'm sure fleet sales is included in their counting of overall sales.

Is your question rhetorical in nature?
The obvious answer is that they can claim to sell the most trucks if they sell the most trucks.

If everyone only shopped on the basis of price, Ford might sell an even higher percentage of the market. Does that make them better or just cheaper? I always look at things this way, Marlin sells more rifles than Weatherby. Which is "better"?

IMO top truck sales numbers only make you #1 in truck sales numbers.

Ask yourself, does McDonalds make the best burgers because they happen to sell the most?

IMO #1 is #1 🙂
