I have been fighting with my friend for the last week. I have seen many articles which state that ford sold more f-series than Chevy and GMC combined. My friend a diehard gm nut things not only that chevy sold more than ford but he is also trying to tell me chevy sold 830,000 silverados. I don't beliveve it. can anyone give me the total sales for ford f-series, gmc sierra, and chevy silverado for 04' and their source?

 

This is the numbers from December 2003 to December 2004 which covers the 2004 sales.

Ford leads the pack beating the Chevy and GMC combined. I would find another friend.

 

haha let me tell you its hard have a diehard mopar guy and a diehard gm guy as two of ur best friends ...trucks aside, they are not bad guys.....deep down they know they wish they had fords..thanks for the info

 

i think polarbear can chime in on this. i think it is all a matter of what you call a truck. heck chrysler called the PT Cruser a truck so they could get by with the lousy fuel economy they get.

i don't think the avalanche is included in that number either. my mom is an accountant for the company that makes GM truck beds, and they make well over a million a year if that says anything.

 

a million truck beds. how many are replacements for accidents as they seem to fold like a tin can. the dealer i work at is import and gm, both our delivery trucks have been tailended and folded like tin cans. had real bad major frame bends. they both needed replacement beds. no pun or knock intended against gm it helps make my pay check. just that they don't seem to stand up body wise in wreaks.

 

I'm assuming that ford counts the F-450/550s in their numbers. Does GM count the 4500/5500 in their numbers?

 

You guys are fighting over statistics?

 

they are conversing, not fighting

Closer than a Washington State gubernatorial election.

edit: My understanding is that this covers 150-350, and 1500-3500. The bigger trucks aren't considered light duty trucks for the sales count.

 

There's a half-ton difference in empty weight, and the GM sits lower than the Ford. I'm guessing those would be contributing factors- especially the latter.

 

bear. very good point.i hear it. and under stand. both are a 2500 and a 3500 one was nailed by a maxima the other a another far east car. i seem to remember lexus

 

Ive seen a figure also that ford out sales gm and dodge by a margin of roughly 3-1 and thats gm and dodge combined.

 

in what?


how can a number 3 auto manufacture ever sell more vehicles than the biggest automaker (GM) ?????

 

Hmm, when did Ford become number 3? And last I looked Ford was 2 and made 1.2 bill this quarter while GM lost 1.1 billion. How much longer before GM is not number 1.

 

i stand corrected. mistake on my part. number 2.

SORRY!
