Hello all! Just wondering, what the heck is with RAM sales?

Ram positioned themselves to take marketshare away from GM Silverado/Sierra before their model refresh and their strategy is very effective. If you add Sierra numbers to the list I suspect the combined will align with the Ram increase.

I don't think the Silverado 1500 intro is selling as well as they anticipated and they're late on the 6-cylinder diesel that's supposed to compete with Ram EcoDiesel. I heard when GM was going through bankruptcy filings the Silverado budget was cut so it put them behind.
