"F-Series and Ford Heavy Trucks increased 3.5 percent and 4.5 percent respectively, with Ranger dropping 47.6 percent and Eonoline off 10.9 percent. Transit Connect kicked off US sales with 1,527 units sold."
"Ram was down 35 percent, Avenger and Dakota were off by 36 percent"
"Acadia fell 52.7 percent, Sierra fell 61 percent, and Terrain got off to a weak start with only 1,334 units. Yukon and Yukon XL fell 11.4 percent and 7.8 percent respectively."

I can easily see why the Ranger did so poorly in sales. Ford dropped like half the options and configurations for the 09'-10' Rangers. I think the Ranger would sell a lot better if Ford actually put some effort into it.
Overall though it looks like Ford is hanging on and increasing sales over GM and Chrysler/Dodge. Probably because the bailout pissed off a lot of people, me included.

Thanks to Dodge being bought out by FIAT, the Ram isn't getting the fair shake it should IMHO. Yes, the F150 is one hell of a truck but because of the bailout the Ram has kinda fallen by the wayside.....
Well, I guess Dodge put themselves in that position to begin with. As for GM, sorry but a company that can bite the very hand that feeds them and ask for more food can starve.....

I don't think that is thanks to Fiat, I think thats Cerberus lining their pockets with every penny from Chrysler that they could, hardly spending a cent on R & D or marketing, then jumping ship and letting tax payers money pick up the rest.

I never understood exactly what the reasoning was to give "Bailout" money to Chrysler when Cerbus and the other major holders have butt loads of money. Why should the taxpayer pay for a poor investment someone else made.
I think the new Ram is a pretty nice truck, I've seen a few in my area.

totally simple explanation:
Who took government money to continue operating?
Who didn't?
Where does that money come from?
Who likes to pay to keep fatcat ceo's fat when they can't even manage their own financial affairs?
Who does this **** off?

Both Sept. and Aug. 2009 F-Series sales were up over last year. A claim no other full-size truck can make.

I think it's fantastic that the F-series are doing so well.
Now, does Ford become arrogant and lower the factory incentives as it is selling fairly well?
Or,
Do they increase the incentives to build more momentum to crush GM?
Or,
Do they hold tight to the reigns and react vs. proact?

With this economy, I think the smartest thing to do would be this choice.
If things keep going well, I say lay the hammer down and crush GM. As for Dodge... they are doing fine digging their own grave.

Of course the private equity guys say they do a service since they are able to take a company private and get it off the NYSE. Once off they no longer have to meet quarterly projections and can focus their energy on the long term plans and health of the company. The story goes on and sounds really nice in a make believe world. Too bad, in the real world, the story doesn't hew to the story line...
