Truck Wars are Heating Up in June 2016 – Ford F-Series Is Most Improved [Sales]

Chevy-vs-Ford

The pickup truck wars are heating up in June 2016. Ford F-Series continues to lead the full-size truck segment. It’s also the most improved truck lineup when compared to the June of 2015. Can the F-Series sell over 800,000 trucks in 2016?  We will have to wait another six months, but it may be possible. Chevy Silverado continues in second place, but it is down when compared to last year, as is the GMC Sierra. The Ram truck lineup continues significant growth. The same cannot be said for the Toyota Tundra and the Nissan Titan. The Tundra was down -5.0% for the month and the Titan XD was not able to sell more than 1,000 truck in June.
