Pickup sales figures for May...Tundra moves up a notch!!

[red's tundra]

Check out the sales figures for May. The Tundra finally past up the Avalanche. Looks like just about everyone has had a drop in sales except the Tundra and the new Ram. The Tundra has steadily moved up in sales for quite a while and even when other companies were dropping. I'm sure the sales would be a lot closer if the Big 3 would post only their regular sales on the 150/1500 series and not their entire line...including fleet sales.

I can't believe that chevy has sold so many of the ugly avalanches. Those trucks are ugly!!!

I really like the looks to the new redesigned Ram Quad Cab. I test drove one recently because they were offering the big factory and dealer rebates. It was the 5.3 L engine. I told the salesman I like the looks with the 20" wheels, the rear seat storage space, plenty of room, 4 wheel disk brakes, etc. but "my Tundra is faster". So I left the dealership lot with my Tundra.

Yeah....I think a lot of people liked the commercials with Aerosmith. Still wouldn't get me to buy a Ram.

I heard that the members of Aerosmith were each given a Ram and a Viper for there endorsement.
