March's Fastest- and Slowest-Selling Pickups - PickupTrucks.com
I must say I am very, very, very surprised. Looking at the same facts I'm seeing GMC selling an impressive number of the total midsize GM sales. I translate that to mean that GMC dealers are selling the more upscale crew cabs, upgrade drivetrains, better seating, etc. Chevy is half as many extended cab trucks, while GMC only sells about a quarter as many. After what looked like a shakey start, the midsize twins appear to be catching on. The formula of upscale vs stripper trucks is working in GM's favor. Search for the ext cab 4 cylinder stick and see how many YOU find. @Randy, yes but is Toyota making any money doing it. My reckoning of GM's sales figures implies that it is a very profitable item for GM dealers. Based on the limited availability of Tacomas in my area, I'd say dealers are reluctant to carry many of them in stock unless they are totally tricked out loaded crew/cab 4x4, V6 Runners. How many lots does GM have compared to Toyota in North America or Ford. There are 5 GM dealers to one Toyota dealer in my city. So Toyota has 3261 trucks to sell on one lot and GM has 961 trucks to sell on 5 lots. Source: news.pickuptrucks.com
