Sorry I'm late, but these numbers aren't anything to write home about anyway...              May 08 / May 07 / +/- / CY 2008 / CY 2007 / +/- ---------------------------------------------------------- F-Series / 42,973 / 61,939 / -30.6 / 235,924 / 290,282 / -18.7 Silverado / 37,020 / 63,790 / -42.0 / 197,030 / 265,941 / -25.9 Ram / 19,727 / 31,327 / -37.0 / 112,795 / 154,143 / -27.0 Sierra / 13,362 / 19,467 / -31.4 / 70,765 / 84,106 / -15.9 Tundra / 12,144 / 17,727/ -31.5 / 66,278 / 61,113 / 8.5 Titan / 2,163 / 4,899 / -57.5 / 15,925 / 28,668 / -45.3 Mark LT / 309 / 670 / -53.9 / 1,821 / 3,576 / -49.1   Front page story in this week's issue of Automotive News notes that Ford and Chrysler could be in deep trouble with the launch of the new F150 and Ram. I would say Ford is in worse shape, as they bank far more on the F-Series and the new F150 was going to come in 7 different trim levels, from plain to three luxury levels including the "above-Lincoln" Platinum.   kcram - Pickups Host
#519 of 527 For comparisons sake. by mschmal Jun 10, 2008 (4:38 am)
To help us track the change in market trend away from trucks, you should also include sales numbers for the Toyota Camry.   What I want to see is the price of gas stabilize. Remember we have gone up over a dollars a gallon since Feburary 2008.   Once gas prices stabilize, then I think truck sales will stabilize. Also because Ford will be introducing higher MPGs on the 2009 thanks to 6 speed transmissions, there may be some tradeins from people who drive a truck for their living.   Mark.

Replying to: kcram (Jul 01, 2008 2:28 pm) Nissan Titan down 48%. That makes Nissan look like they discontinued the Titan.   Looks like the new Ram isn't doing so good either. It's a no brainer for Ford to delay the intro of the 2009 F150. Replies to this message: kcram (Jul 01, 2008 4:16 pm)

Replying to: obyone (Jul 01, 2008 3:04 pm) The new Ram isn't out yet... production doesn't begin until September 8. This is all the current design for Dodge.   kcram - Pickups Host
