How is the Ford up that much? Are these gross world sales or domestic? Do you have stats on diesel trucks, or at least the HD line-ups, for the big three? Dodge better lower the price.

 

No kiddin, they are shootin themselves in the foot. Last time I was wandering around a dealership, I couldn't find a single Cummins for less than 40k new. They always keep top of the line models on the lot. Maybe some more basic trim packages may help. I mean yeah, I would love a brand new, fully decked out dually, megacab, chrome and power everything. But what regular joe has 55,000+ to drop on a truck? Shoot, most ppl are buying Rams for the engines anyways.

 

New ones are landing at dealers .

One of the biggest reasons ford is up, compared to others, at least from sentiment I have seen, is the bailouts.

Even though ford makes an inferior (diesel) product, enough people are mad about bailing the other two out, that they are going to ford, and not necessarily diesels either.

Otherwise, well, we'll see where the dust settles

 

Couldn't Ford make the new F series a wee bit uglier??

x2 on this one, yuck!

 

I like it for the most part, all except for the hood line is higher than the bed, makes the bed look tiny and out of proportion. At least I think that's it, somethin just doesnt look right

 

I think the Rams are priced out of touch . As for belt lines and hood lines vs bed lines I dont agree .

 

The new local dealer in my area couldn't get any Dodge trucks until February.

Then again in ND you can hardly find any Dodge dealers. Dodge should expect to now sell fewer vehicles
