Ford is still going through the model year changeover and ramping up the factory for the 2015 F-150 production. November sales show a -9.9% decline for the Ford as it once again fell to the GM twin for best selling pickup in November. The F-150 still holds a fairly slim margin in Year-To-Date (YTD) sales. It should still take the sales crown for the year, as the 2015 model hits the dealerships.
Silverado, Ram, and Sierra all grew big in November, with the Sierra improving the most at 57.0%. The Japanese Tundra and Titan both declined for the month, although the Tundra is still up 6.1% YTD.
