Even though GM is combining all pickup sales (including the old model they are blowing out with huge rebates)....they still sold 20% fewer trucks than Ford did with their current truck that has been on the market since 2009.
GM....to quote a phrase.......

You Can't Touch This!!!!


The recently redesigned Silverado and Sierra pickups posted remarkably similar numbers to last month and continue to increase over last year. GM does not delineate sales between the redesigned 2014 models and 2013 models and it is likely that GM is continuing its push to clear out inventory of 2013 models. Even with the two trucks combined, though, the 59,827 Chevrolet/GMC twins sold can’t touch the Ford F-Series’ June sales of 68,009.

Yeah I saw a article where GM in a whole was up 6% from this time last year... And Ford was up around 13%..

59'000 is still impressive. That's a lot of trucks sold in a month. Almost 2000 trucks sold per day.

Man i wish i took a screen shoot of the post i saw last week on FB. One of my friends "liked" GMC's page, so it came up in my news feed. I clicked on the comments, and had a great time laughing at some of them. One guy said something like,


"Ford has never outsold GMC/Chevy, if you believe that you are drinking the Ford kool aid. Sure maybe Ford outsold Chevy or GMC, but never both combined. Its a Ford marketing gimmick"


I need to find it

Someone is drinking something that is confusing them, that's for sure.....wait until Ford blows them ALL away with the next model. I just hope that Ford does not screw it up with the MASSIVE grill I've seen on a few renderings.......message to the stylists....

If I wanted a huge schnoz on my truck, I'd get a super duty. PLEASE don't do this to our F-150!!!!

Oh yeah definitely. I just looked for it, couldn't find it. I'm going to keep looking, hahaha! Its worth it

My local Chevy dealer has only three 2014 Silverado on the lot, thus the old F150 is not really competing with the new Chevy yet... Besides, it is not like the 2009 F150 was frozen in time, various improvements over the years. A simple example is HID wasn't available in 2009, but now it is.

True --- but I still think that most buyers purchase any vehicle on what it looks like and secondarily how it drives --- both of which have been pretty much the same since 2009 for ours......other than the addition of electric power steering that does change the way it drives a bit, and a few new colors and options.

The front-end change is one of the reasons for me not buying the 2014 Silverado. When a new truck is introduced and the first stated features are bold look, fist in the wind... I'll pass. I'm more interested in the internals, features, transmission, chassis, and not how they reduced the visibility of the driver for empty air under the hood.

I have trouble telling the difference between GM's old and new model trucks. I think that the only way to tell is that slightly bolder black and chrome line that runs all the way across the grill and headlights --- but I'd still have to look twice to tell......GM hardly changed the way the rest of the truck looks to me.
