What I think is wonderful is how every time Ford does well you find a way to make it seem bad. I bet I rented damn near 30 cars in 2010 and maybe 4 or 5 of those were from Ford and well over half were GM, the rest being a scattering of imports.

You do realize that Ford had the SECOND HIGHEST percentage of fleet sales only behind Chrysler right?

 

This is January through July:

 

Chrysler Group 39%

Ford Motor 35%

General Motors 31%

Hyundai brand 16%

Nissan North America 15%*

Toyota Motor Sales 9%

American Honda 2%*

8% separates the domestic brands. Not exactly ground breaking numbers.

obviously ford is doing something right and it just can't be low pricing because im pretty sure gm and other brands give cheap pricing for fleets. i think fords are a quality made truck just as gm

You would think the way you cheer lead for Ford, and claim that their products are good, they wouldn't have to resort to fleet dumping...more fleet dumping than GM.

 

And how much money do you think Ford is making when they sell a crew cab Sooper Doody for $23K? My guess is nothing.

Ford still sucks, Mike. Might as well get used to it.

Like I've said in the past, I'm looking at both and it will be a "may the best truck win" sort of thing that will be the deciding factor as long as both dealers will be willing to deal. I've owned both and to be honest my 2 GMs were absolute garbage but I still like the 900s and am willing to give them another chance even though most would argue that 2 crapboxes is enough to write them off.

Way to skirt the fact that 4% separates GM from Ford. Depending on the numbers, that difference could be one large fleet order. And a sale is a sale.

Well, I have the numbers...and using the easier 5% (rather than the correct 4%), that is a 9,985 vehicle purchase for GM and 8,521 for Ford.

 

Either way...Ford is STILL fleet dumping....which is the point.

 

You called me out for saying that fleet dumps, then when I PROVED to you that they do, you change directions and attempt to down play it.

      Gas Prices

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Gas Prices

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By Coastie05 · Posted

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
