that's only because of the crazy incentives they put on it, it's not hard to sell a truck when you put an employee discount on it which takes like $3-4k? off of the price and then an addition incentive of I belive $5k for the dakota, vs no incentives or employee pricing on the 300 because it doesn't need it to sell.

This is real easy. A base 300 is leasing for about 250-300 a month. In July 4X4 quad daks were leasing for about a 150 bucks a month, loaded. Hmm... wonder why they sold so many? And yet with all the sales being up why did several plants get extended downtime for "inventory reductions". That just doesn't make sense.
