So the thumb up is for.........?

The drop of 11.9% in sales from last year?
The fact Chevorlet and GMC ( ultimately the same manufacturer ) is outselling Ford?
How many of the F Series sales are new SD sales and how many are F-150 sales?

 

You didnt have the Dodge Dakota numbers on there....my guess is it would have been the worst. But yeah, why the thumbs up? -11% isnt a good thing.

 

Wanna know what the thumb is for, it's right in front of your face. Read it. Even though we are losing sales FORD is still #1 GMC and CHEVY will never sell more than FORD. GM needs two Truck lineups to compete. PATHETIC GM SUX

You know smiggs, after 1000's of post i would assume you would have more of a positive rep. But i guess Folks here at FTE think less of you. HEHEHE

 

It is when FORD is still #1

 

whoa....


Remember we are here to debate the technical merits of trucks (and sales numbers... or any other information)
Not personally attack people.

 

It would appear that the sales of any truck that isn't new, save for the Chevy GMC trucks is up. That would mean Toyota of course. And all others, including the Nissan trucks is down. If Ford builds another new attractive truck the numbers will go up. I hope as they have in the past. Why anyone would buy the ugly Toyota is beyond me, but that's people for you. I suppose others actually like the Toyota look. Tacoma included. Why GM rushed the new trucks to market is beyond me, but then their last generation trucks were really looking old. So, maybe something new and ungangly looking is better than dated styling...?

 

not to burst your bubble, but just because you sell more doesnt mean its better. Compare a .99 double cheese burger at mc donalds to a 6 dollar burger at Carls Jr. The better burger isnt going to be the cheaper one. (i was hungry when i wrote this)

But why is it they are selling more trucks and losing more money, are they selling trucks below the 'invoice' cost of the truck just to be the "#1 selling truck in the USA"? if thats the case i would rather have Ford make money and lose the title, but thats just my opinion.

 

Yup, beyond me.........



Of course, some people actually think the saggy eyed '08 Super Duty is somehow a good looking truck.....




:barf::barf:...........

 

You ALWAYS miss the point when you post these stats....and it's the same old debate......If GM dropped GMC, those buyers would most certainly buy Chevy....and vice versa.

The fact that Ford dropped 12% is NOT a good thing, regardless of what your rose colored glasses tell you.





Hmmmm........1097= "1,000's of posts"..........

While it's obvious the English language is not your strong suite....I guess you failed math also????


I would much read Smiggy's intelligent comparisons than some people's biased dribble.

 

Ooooops!!!

 

Ranger hit all time low ...

 

It will be dropped soon too...

 

Thanks for the laugh.

As long as you know I'm laughing WITH you.......

 

I don't know about you guys, but I think this spy photo of the new 1 ton Tundra looks awfully familar......

Oh right back on topic, Ford sales ONLY down 11.9%. GMC and Chevy only down an average of 2.3%......

Why the thumbs up again?
