2010 Truck Sales Figures

[Diamondpilot]

Best money anyone could ever spend on a brake controller. I have the factory one in my 06 F-350 and there is absolutely no comparison to the 25 or more aftermarket controllers I have used in my lifetime. Even the better ones like the Prodigy are a far cry from the factory ones that go off line pressure, not a electrical signal from the brake light circuit.

The Hemi V8 is available, with 383 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, on Ram 2500 only; the Ram 3500 appears to now require the Cummins diesel. While the industry mix for this class is 59/41 diesel to gas, 79% of Ram heavy duty trucks sold in 2008 were diesels, and in most recent years 80%-87% of Ram 2500/3500 trucks were diesels.

Not the most recent data, but percentages should still be pretty close.

Thanks for the good info. So I guess its safe to say that 85% of the Dodge HD trucks come with the Cummins.

Now we just need to figure out what the percentage is for Dmax. I still guess its about 50-60%.

The new F-150 has sway control, not to be confused with a electric brake controller.
Google is your friend.

It has both. Sway control is standard and the electric brake controller is a option.

I have the integrated brake controller in my 2011 Silverado, but have not had it hooked to the trailer yet to try it out. I have only had the truck for 3 weeks...

Wow, Ford sold more trucks! That means I must go out and buy a Ford instead of a GM or Dodge because that's what everyone is doing. Did someone say "Jump off a bridge" ?

Gee Chris, thanks for sharing. You no-doubtingly had every intention of only sharing this for informational conversation and not as another "Ford is the best" thread... :mur:

That is why I bought a new 2006 Nissan Frontier, you don't see them every day and that is how I like it.

Did GM actually build a 2010 YM with a diesel?... I thought I read somewhere that GM skipped the 2010 YM due to re-designing the Izuzu engine for the new emissions requirements??? Not sure, but I though I read this somewhere...
Probably 90+% of all 3/4 and 1 ton Dodges around here are definitely diesel.. The Fords were scarce for a while, I guess mainly due to potential Ford buyers waiting on the 2011 engine. Ford REALLY discounted the 2010 models to make room on their lots for their new 2011 trucks.
Not sure what all GM was doing..
Its really impressive how much a properly equipped 1/2 ton can handle these days..

Well we all know Ford is the best, at least the informed ones.:thumbsup::laughing:

Now that we have that taken care of I am surprised you did not jump on the Nissan sold the least band wagon, you are slacking. Must have been busy playing with our other featured member.:ashamed:
