Guessing that gas prices isnt hurting them all that much huh?

Well maybe in the GM tent they are..
"GM total truck sales for the month declined 16 percent compared with March 2007"

Then look at ford:
"Trucks This yr - 146,228 last yr - 175,491 = -16.7% "

Doh and the Dodge Ram
Ram P/U this yr - 26,318 Last yr - 38,301 = -31%
19.8% increase is bad considering this is a new model replacing a old model. Read the below.

Toyota already responded to the disappointing truck market in March by trimming production of full-size Tundras and Sequoias at plants in Texas and Indiana by an undisclosed amount.
