actually that's the 1st thing that came to mind when I saw this post

 

too easy for dodge

 

Ford turns down Heavy Duty tug of war challenge with GM

 

And also Ford trucks have been THE number 1 selling truck for the 33 years in a row and counting, why not call out number one?

 

too bad the main reason they are #1 is because they offer fleet deals

 

it will prove that gm needs to upgrade their tie rods seen to many break and bend

 

If I was Ford, I would have jumped all over this, and then showed up in a loaded to the gills Crew-cab F-450. Those critters weigh 10,000 lbs straight off the factory floor, not to mention the massive axles and 4.88 gearing. Hell, I'd even offer to tow what was left of their truck and mangled IFS to the nearest Chevy garage... for a nominal fee!

 

The new F450's are no longer true F450's like the 6.4's were. They're basically an F350 tow boss. Kind of disappointing.


This whole tug o war deal was dumb. I've seen Jeep Cherokee's pull full size trucks backwards, it's all in the driver when the vehicles are that close.

 

If you add GMC truck and Chevy trucks togeteher they dont, numbers is a game in advertising. You can always find a way to be #1.

 

Ford’s F-Series – America’s best-selling truck for 33 years in a row and best-selling vehicle (car or truck) for 28 years in row – posted a 39 percent increase in February. In 2009, F-Series increased its leadership position among full-size pickups with a 4 percentage-point gain in segment share, and the F-Series continues to gain share in 2010 with a 6-point gain in January. Production of the all-new F-Series Super Duty has begun at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant.
Utility vehicles also posted strong sales increases. In February, Escape sales were up 50 percent versus a year ago, Edge sales were up 67 percent, Flex sales were up 19 percent, and Mercury Mariner sales were up 39 percent. Sales for traditional SUVs (Explorer, Expedition and Navigator) also were higher than a year ago.
Sales for Ford’s E-Series van (Econoline/Club Wagon) were up 26 percent versus a year ago. E-Series has been America’s best-selling full-size van for 31 years.
Sales of the new Transit Connect – a small commercial van introduced in mid-2009 – totaled 1,338 in February. Ford’s share of the commercial van segment is more than 60 percent. Production of a battery-electric Transit Connect begins later this year.
