The Tundra, Ok maybe not

> General Motors sold more Chevy Silverado 1500 pickups (119,959 units) in June that Ford sold F-150s (107,778 units), and that’s not a fluke.

> It seems that the automakers don’t actually break out the sales of each pickup line when reporting overall figures, so Ford lumps all F-Series (F-150, F-250, F-350…) sales together when it correctly lays claim to the title of Best-Selling Pickup Line in America. Ford’s Super Duty series commands nearly 50-percent of the HD pickup market, which puts the Blue Oval on top of the overall sales race.

> Interestingly, all three American automakers picked up full-size pickup market share at the expense of Nissan and especially Toyota, which saw sales of its **Tundra plummet from 76,516 units to just 36,106 units in June of 2009 compared to one year ago.**

I wonder what happens when you add the Total Sierra and Silverado, compared to total F-series.

**Total Ford** 173,646

Silverado 149,949  
Siera 50,067  
**Total GM** 200,016

Yeah factual information is not popular here, I forgot.

I did find it interesting how many HD and MD trucks Ford sells.  
I didn’t know they dominated the market like that.

I found it interesting too. I know that when my cousin was shopping them their MD was MUCH cheaper, like to the tune of $10k difference between a ford and a comparable chevy

I’m shocked that none of the import humpers have commented in this thread yet… Maybe they’re still trying to figure out a way to spin actual numbers in their favor.

i bet you it wouldn’t, I read somewhere that it’s going to have like a 8.0 litre detroit diesel.

edit: WORD

> Warren chose a Hino Trucks USA high-pressure common-rail turbodiesel 8.0-liter inline-six used in the U.S. and Japan in a wide range of commercial and cargo-moving applications (Toyota owns Hino). Although the rating for the engine output runs a wide spectrum, this particular engine was tuned to make 305 horsepower and 610 pound-feet of torque. But if those numbers aren’t to your liking, never fear–we’re told with some slight tuning, ratings can climb an extra 200 horsepower and 400 pound-feet and work just fine. Many of those commercial applications also run the same Eaton five-speed manual transmission used here. Additionally, a heavy-duty custom split driveshaft and remote power-steering unit were designed to deal with expected stresses.

I’d probably buy a ford unless GM or Chrysler has crackhead bankruptcy deals. those outboard shocks make them much better to drive.

and the reason chevy half tons outsell toyota is because…

LETS SAY: toyota loaded crew cab tundra MSRP is $45,000. U pay $45k

The same truck, but a chevy, MSRP would be like $38k…but YOU PAY $28k.

cheap sells

Toyota doesn’t make anything more than a 1/2 ton truck so this is a BS truck…
