Replying to: bigo08 (Dec 03, 2006 10:23 pm) have to smile every time I hear Ford's ads touting they have the best selling truck for xx years.... Considering that GM makes both the Silverado and Sierra and they are basically the same truck except for some trim pieces, GM has had the title forever. Same for the Colorado and Canyon, S10 and Sonoma. Ford just wishes they were outselling GM (Silverado and Sierra combined). If GM wasn't so hard headed they would have dropped the GMC years ago and Ford couldn't even claim to have the title.

Jan 08 / Jan 07 / +/- ---------------------------------- F-Series...41,125 / 44,919 / -8.4 Silverado..36,122 / 38,393 / -5.9 Ram........19,902 / 24,379 / -18.0 Sierra......13,200 / 13,147 / 0.4 Tundra......12,073 / 6,321 / 91.0 Titan........3,692 / 5,226 / -29.4 Mark LT.....376 / 774 / -51.4   Bad month all around. The Tundra number is compared to the last of the old model, so still not a fair comparison... and it's much lower than what the new Tundra was doing through most of last year.   kcram - Pickups Host

Feb 08 Feb 07 +/- CY 2008 CY 2007 +/- ---------------------------------------------------------- F-Series / 52,548 / 55,251 / -4.9 / 93,673 / 100,170 / -6.5 Silverado / 44,096 / 58,696 / -24.9 / 80,218 / 97,089 / -17.4 Ram / 22,642 / 28,633 / -21.0 / 42,544 / 53,012 / -20.0 Sierra / 15,088 / 18,140 / -16.8 / 28,288 / 31,287 / -9.6 Tundra / 14,400 / 9,669 / 43.0 / 26,473 / 15,990 / 62.2 Titan / 3,794 / 6,058 / -39.9 / 7,486 / 11,284 / -35.0 Mark LT / 364 / 649 / -43.9 / 740 / 1,423 / -48.0   Even though Tundra numbers are up, this was still against the old smaller Tundra. They are still well below the pace they need for 200K annual units.   The American Axle strike has closed another GM plant, although they claim they have a 150-day supply of Silverado/Sierra already at showrooms. Chrysler said they had a 10-day supply of differentials for the HD trucks, then they would have to consider reduction or suspension of production.   kcram - Pickups Host

Replying to: kcram (Apr 01, 2008 12:17 pm) I wonder when Toyota figures it's newly designed Tundra going to hit their predicted 200K units per year? Or perhaps by now they figured that was a pipe dream? Even with their rebates, new prices, buying incentives they look to be substantially short of the 200K units. Now if we increase the time period of sales per 1.5 years they may have a chance.

Replying to: obyone (Apr 01, 2008 1:29 pm) From March 07 to February 08, the Tundra sold over 207,000 units. Even the calendar year 2007, they were at 196 and change. They met their target already.   kcram - Pickups Host Replies to this message: obyone (Apr 02, 2008 12:11 pm) kcram (Apr 02, 2008 2:53 pm) obyone (Apr 02, 2008 3:41 pm) b2900 (Apr 02, 2008 3:34 pm) obyone (Apr 02, 2008 3:59 pm)

Replying to: kcram (Apr 02, 2008 12:01 pm) LOL!! Hey have you read your post from March 3, 2008?   Let me quote you:   Even though Tundra numbers are up, this was still against the old smaller Tundra. They are still well below the pace they need for 200K annual units.   For the two months after that post they averaged a little over 14K units each month. I would think they would've needed to average more like 24K per month.   At the pace they are at now at 40K for 3 months that should give them around 160- maybe 170K units for the calender year. Far cry from 200K.   The Dodge numbers are spooky down 25% yikes. Replies to this message: kcram (Apr 02, 2008 2:53 pm) obyone (Apr 02, 2008 3:41 pm)

Replying to: obyone (Apr 02, 2008 12:11 pm) And I stand by that statement... they won't make 200K for calendar year 2008. But they did indeed reach their goal in the introductory year - both calendar year 2007 and for the new truck's first 12 months (Mar 07-Feb 08).   Edit - scroll back to post 73 and see how many units a month the Tundra was moving.   kcram - Pickups Host Replies to this message: obyone (Apr 02, 2008 3:41 pm)
