Lol..GM couldn't make 2 trucks outsell 1 truck. Good job ford! 645,000, that's a strong number! We haven't seen those sales numbers in half a decade.
Only 1,900 Escalade EXT's, ford could sell that amount of F-series in a day!

Ford did out sell the Escalade in one day. Since they don't sell on Sunday there are 312 days - 7 holidays and you have 305 selling days or about 2,115 per day.
That's a lot of trucks!

GM always outsells Ford in 1/2 tons. It's just the way it's always been. More Fords ultimately go to work and sell a ton to fleets. That's where they make it, up 3/4tons and higher. Funny thing is that this year GM only sold around 30k more 1/2 tons where as they usually sell around 80k more. So, either MANY people are holding out for the upgraded 1/2 ton or they lost a ton of market share. GM needs to worry if it's the latter of the two.

Shambling Mockery of Man
...in other words, GM only outsells in the 1/2 ton market by proxy of offering two (essentially identical) trucks (which is, in part, why GM will slap two to four different names on the same body whenever possible). Ford has had the single bestselling 1/2 ton for years.
