Nothing shocks me on that list

Kinda surprised at the Tundra vs Tacoma #s.
It seems I see a lot more Tundras than Tacomas.
Maybe that's just down here in the south and that's opposite everywhere else which makes up for it.
ETA: 74000+ F150's a month? That's fricking insane!

Ford's numbers include the entire F-series (150, 250, etc).

And Chevrolet, GMC, and Ram include their 2500 and 3500 models.

Tundra down 4%
That surprises me.
Had 3 F-150's, happy, went Tundra last year, happy more.

Going down the lines of the loyalty concern, what isn’t mention is the age demographics of the buyers.
While Ram has the fewest sales, it very securely owns the under 35 year old buyers, and battles for the 40s with Chevy. Ford, while going head to head with GM in sales numbers, has buyers with an average age 10 years above that of GM. In other words, Ford is wrestling with the same issues of companies such as Cadillac- They aren’t getting younger buyers and they are losing buyers to age!
GM holds the middle age demographics. So the question moving forward is: If Brand loyalty stays consistent, Ram should increase big time, Ford will drop big time, and GM will remain fairly static. GM is actually overlappign demographics with Ram moreso than Ford.
I don’t however think that loyalty will necessarily stay the same. Ford will have to find a way to invigorate younger buyers- the hybrids options announced might do that. Chevy, who 20 years ago dominated the younger buyers, will recognize this soon enough with their NEXT generation (not this one coming out now). Ram on the other hand simply needs to make sure it maintains the loyalty of its current buyers, because they have quite a few more new trucks in their future.

GM could *in theory* leverage its two brands, GMC and Chevy to effectively “choke” Ford in the middle, although they haven’t seemed to try to do that yet. May be a coke-vs-pepsi strategy, where Ford and GM are best simply letting there be two major players and keep everyone else irrevalent. Ram is the wrench in this strategy. While their sales are nowhere close to what Ford and GM are, they are still a huge number compared to other vehicles- enough to have true cost advantages due to volume, and enough to be a threat. Do ford and GM accept Ram as part of the “3? and then use that group to fend off the “rest”?- Nissan, Toyota, mitsubishi, Honda? Or do they try and keep Ram out? Since Ram owns specific demographics, that could ultimately be a risky strategy too.
While Ford and GM will “fight” on paper, I think Ram is really the brand to watch because they have effectively grabbed the young buyers in a brand-loyal market, and that is going to have long term reprocussions for the Truck Market. Fords biggst concern is going to be with consumer aging. With a median age in the mid 50s, are they purely counting on the conversion of dissatisfied GM and Ram buyers moving forward?

Went Tundra about 3 months ago and very happy. Ram is building a really nice truck these days as well.

When I started shopping, I never would have considered a ram. After doing my homework, talking to friends and driving them all, I went with the Ram. 2+ years later and I still love the decision.

It's easy to "love" the decision when you have low expectations

Meh. When these "young buyers" realize how garbage dodges are, they'll be back to the big 2.

Wonder where Tundra would fall if you excluded the 250+'s...
Also, tacoma has a commercial line, which might help explaining the higher than tundra numbers as well...
plus that truck is gonna sell much better on west coast than full size lineups

That's rich coming from someone who is a walking billboard.
Perceived quality vs. actual quality, there is a difference.

I assure you that is not the reason.
ETA:
to Ram with a 23.6% year over year increase. I think this year will be a bit tougher now that rhe competition is back up to snuff, but we will see. They are supposed to be making some big announcement this month - something off road related.This post was edited on 1/11/15 at 6:56 am

I hearI they are making some mild changes that would be announced at the detroit auto show, but it doesn't really matter because they are coming out with the remodeled Ram in '17.

Ram 1500: Entire new body design
F250+: entire new body design and possible new motor (first new body in over 20 years)

Brand loyalty is strong in this thread. I have always had Jeeps and Rams no complaints
