If you're going to make comparisons betweeen the different manufacturers, shouldn't we compare apples to apples and either include all corporate twins with different sheet metal and badges or compare brand to brand? It should be Ford vs Chevrolet or General Motors vs Ford Motor Company. If the comparison is to be corporation vs corporation, it should be Chevrolet/GMC/ Cadillac/ Hummer/Isuzu (now or later with the Colorado clone), etc vs. Ford/ Lincoln/Mercury/ Mazda (with Ranger clone), etc.

Once you get below the sheet metal and trim, there are not that many different vehicles out there.

Thanks for the update Polarbear. I don't think that Mazda's sales count towards FMC sales as FMC does not completely own them, but it would be interesting to know.
FYI: Silverado= 60,473 Sierra=19,255
Colorado=10,899 Canyon=3,077
Tahoe=13,422 Yukon=6,148
Suburban=7,835 Yukon XL=4,176

GM just may take the spotlight off the F-Series this year. How many years has it been?

Nobody makes the Blackwood anymore. Lincoln makes the Mark LT, which is, IMO, the best looking truck out there. Now, if I only had tons of money lying around...

The blackwood i was'nt sure.
but there are others in the ford-lincoln/mercury corner and since
gm as a whole has more name plates with trucks and suv's, I'll
say ford still out does them.

I excluded Cadillac (and Hummer) because I could make a good case that they'd make a good Navigator/Aviator comparison. In the case of Chev and GMC, they're all GMC's (Chevy's have a X88 Chevy conversion code on the build sheet), and the sole difference is the grill and the franchise selling point. Hummer's are unique, and Izuzu only sells a version of the Trailblazer. On a corporate level, I know GM sales are tracked by Ford exactly the way they're listed in the comparison- it's all about market share, not grills, and all the execs involved know this.

Check out this link, may find some surprises.

For one, DaimlerChrysler has actually old sold ford in trucks, year to date and not so far behind in cars for year to date sales.

GM is actually doing pretty good for a not so new of a truck line. I am more than sure these numbers include more than pickup trucks.

No prob
just when a comparison of two truck ie the colorado and canyon
vrs the ranger the sales should be split 3 ways so that would in sence be about 35000 units apiece for chev/gmc and 50000 for
ranger so in this case ranger is holdin its own pretty good. but i
do under stand thats how companies make there numbers look good.
