Actually, that's about right. A base 1500 regular cab shortbed 4x2 has an MSRP of $22,1 and an invoice of $19,8. There's currently up to 7-large in rebates available and another $1400 in factory-to-dealer, so $11,5 sounds about right from invoice. It's all to clear the old 1500s off the lots before the redesigned 1500 hits the street in a few weeks.

It's OT here in Pickups, but...
Sequoia sales are up, but it's kind of a false increase as the model was changing to the new Tundra chassis from the old one a year ago.
Aug 08 - 3,195
Aug 07 - 1,717 +86.1%
2008 - 22,562

It's no wonder that Toyota closed a plant for retooling and shifted production on the Sequoia and Tundra. With sales of 3K per month the dealers must be loaded on those things.

This was just a classic beating
Sep 08 Sep 07 +/- CY 2008 CY 2007 +/-
----------------------------------------------------------
F-Series 32,727 56,065 -41.6 392,698 537,211 -26.9
Silverado 50,428 52,480 -3.9 370,502 477,859 -22.5
Ram 20,812 30,100 -31.0 196,058 276,978 -29.0
Sierra 18,744 18,445 1.6 133,811 157,204 -14.9
Tundra 7,696 19,571 -59.0 115,026 144,480 -20.4
Titan 2,872 5,193 -44.7 29,900 50,959 -41.3
Mark LT 383 795 -51.8 3,659 6,653 -45.0
Chevy and GMC were helped big time by GM Employee pricing.
If Ford doesn't get their act together, the F-Series could fall to
second place for the first time in about 30 years.
Toyota... right truck, 3 years too late.

learn to spell and before you form an opinion, go find a tundra and put it "to work" on your farm and i guarantee you that you will be surprised. just because your a conservative farmer doesn't mean you HAVE to drive an american truck. the step that tundras had made in the past 4 years when it comes to size, power, and towing, has been bigger than fords step up in the past 10 years. be flexible and just because all the rednecks are so into american automobiles, doesn't mean you'll look weird driving a nice tundy around the farm.

I can't afford a new truck. Prices are way to high for any of them. I buy well used trucks and drive them up and down the road till they don't go anymore. I will continue to buy the 99 1/2 to 03 F350 SD 7.3 L till I can't find one anymore. As for nissan and Toyota I wouldn't buy one of those if I had the money and used a 1/2 ton. Sorry but I support my fellow American workers and American companies. I know Ford's sales aren't up like everyone elses but they also don't base thier company off of small little cheap cars. Thier company is built around trucks real trucks. The ones you see in farmers fields and on the road pulling trailers. If we as a country keep buying imports where will our kids work?
