    F Series - 68,000

    Ram - 48,000

    Silverado - 45,000

     

     

    Silverado + Sierra = 63,488

    Also - 

    Canyon + Colorado = 13,332

    Meaning GM sold 76,820 trucks last month

    ...and they seem to be selling to very happy customers.  Every owner I talk to here in Ohio just freaking loves them.

    Not bad. It took 6 different truck lines ( 2x Sliverado - light duty/heavy duty, 2x Sierra - light/hd, Colorado, and Canyon ) to beat 2 F Series truck lines - light/SD -  by 8k units.

    Erm... no. The difference between the Silverado and Sierra is no different than the difference between an F-150 XL and a Lariat and a Kind Ranch and a Raptor and Super Duty.  It's just a different grille/headlights/hood in the half ton GMs and Ford does the same thing just without swapping out headlights.  Which badge is on the GM trucks is largely immaterial.

    Even if you wanted leave out the GM Mid-sizers (which I'm sure you do since Ford has a big fat zero in that sales column right now), the two companies are pretty close.. .GM isn't behind Ram as you tried to imply with your original post and I have since corrected.

    When you look at the YTD numbers for half-tons and 3/4 tons at Ford and GM,  you get Ford at 595,656 and GM at 589,996.... or a difference of only 5,660 units... GM is less than 1% behind for the year to date.   When you include the mid-sizers, GM's number rises to 697,249 while Ford remains at 595,656... meaning GM sold 100,000+ more trucks than Ford so far for the year.

    I went yesterday to test drive a GMC Silverado...To my surprise, none on the lots. Then looked for a Chevy Sierra...nothing again, in any trim. Big sellers these truck are < sarcasm >

    And I never tried to imply GM is behind Ram. I posted the Top 3 for the month of September - F Series, Ram, Silverado.

    Just like you can't find a GMC 1500 Silverado LS LTZ 5.3L EcoTec 4.3L Allison Duramax..

    Only ones who add GMC/Chevy together are the Fan Boys. The Company doesn't even use that straw man mathematics argument

    Does GM combine sales in their monthly PR Releases?

    No. 

     

     

     

    In the spreadsheet? No they are broken down by brand.  But they will say stuff like "GM trucks posted an xx% sales increase, beating industry average." or some such thing.  They do that fairly frequently.

    And GM's truck sales are higher than Ford's. 

    Who said the GM combined sales weren't?

    One would hope they are. Two divisions/brands of which each have two segments ( full and mid size )

    Careful throwing around the absolutes... Brand differences are important. GMC can charge $65k for a base Yukon Denali... That's $2k more than a base Navigator.  It's unlikely GM would be able to pull that off if the Denali was "just" a Chevy. 

    Denali trim alone out sells the entire Lincoln brand, so I think GM has a pretty good profit motive there.

    • "Don't you know you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run ... run" I think she says "run" 10 times in each refrain. For years, I though the singer was a man with a high voice. One of a kind.
    • Just be careful, the quality like many has issues if you buy used especially. I have a friend who whole family has been Toyota for generations and their extended family in Mongolia has been Toyota and lately they have had issues with their Rav4's. Just traded it in on a Honda Prologue. They were tired of the repairs. Currently, there are recalls affecting certain 2024 Toyota RAV4 vehicles due to issues with brake caliper bolts that may not be properly tightened, posing a risk of brake failure. Details of Current Recalls 2024 Toyota RAV4 Recall: Issue: Some vehicles may have bolts that secure the front brake caliper and wheel hub bearing improperly tightened. This can lead to potential detachment of the brake caliper or front wheels, increasing the risk of a crash due to reduced braking performance or loss of vehicle control.    2 Action: Toyota dealers will inspect and tighten the affected bolts free of charge. If any components are damaged, they will be replaced at no cost to the owner. Notifications to owners began in early February 2025.    2   2 Sources Additional Recalls: 2013-2018 RAV4: A recall was issued for certain models due to battery issues that could lead to a short circuit and potential fire risk. This recall involved over 1.8 million vehicles and required replacement of the battery hold-down clamp and related components.    1 2020-2021 RAV4 Hybrid: There was also a recall related to airbag deployment issues, which required inspection and potential replacement of the Occupant Classification System sensor.    1
    • Back reading this, the RAV 4 would be worth my time to consider for 2026. 
    • I am surprised they are doing that well.  Interesting. 
    • Europe and China have shown huge monthly decreases in sales based on monthly recording of registrations.  This coming Wednesday we will see the quarterly reporting worldwide for Tesla. The head of global sales has quit and left taking the blame for falling sales which should fall on Musk. Analyst are calling for a further 11% reduction in sales by Tesla with a full year decline of 8% Tesla quarterly deliveries seen falling again
