Of the top seven vehicles sold in the United States for September 2011, four were either pickup trucks or SUVs made by the "big three" from Detroit.

Heading the list was the Ford Explorer (which at a distance, I can't tell from the Dodge Journey anymore). Followed closely by the Dodge Ram - which coincidentally was named THE BEST PICKUP TRUCK MADE TODAY by PickupTruck.com. The Ram enjoyed it's biggest selling month since 2007 and sales were up 45% from a year ago.

Rounding out the top selling American made vehicles were the Ford F150, Chevy Silverado and the Jeep Grand Cherokee, whose sales were up 47% from a year ago.

NO American cars were in the top 10 selling vehicles as the Nissan Altima was the top selling car in the US. Despite the fact that Toyota is back in full production, their over-all numbers were still down about 18% despite strong sales of both the Highlander and Camry. The Honda Accord rounded out the list of top sellers in the US...

 

Noticed that my dealer was doing 10k off on Ram's last month. Sounded like a descent deal, may be why they're moving.

 

The new Exploder is just a fat Edge. No real frame anymore like they had when they were built here.
The Ram is the best bang for your buck in the 1/2 ton truck segment.
