There are other considerations that go into a fleet purchase than the lowest price per unit. Overall costs are the key and that includes fleet management, distribution, maintenance etc. I was surprised when asked to review a contract for 30 or 60 Canyons. The price was not that great. I figured I could negotiate a better deal walking into a dealership. However the per unit price was not the major issue.
Exactly right...Focus on cost of ownership - not up-front price. Too many people focus on the latter.
This is a stupid thread. The top three are always the Ford, GM, and Chrysler full size pickups. The next on the list used to be Japanese sedans but it’s now Japanese compact crossovers. You might see the Ford Escape cracking the top 10. The Koreans don’t have quite top 10 volume yet but I’d expect that soon.
It’s relatively easy to double sales when you’re selling 5,000 cars per month and have a model refresh. Tough to double sales on the F150 or the RAV4. The car that surprised me recently was the Rogue. It was outselling the CR-V and RAV4. I assume they lowered the price to buy market share. Honda and Toyota have huge brand loyalty.
Subaru has seen big sales growth. The Outback, Forester, and Crosstrek are now high volume sellers. Toyota moved their Camry line out of the joint Indiana factory so Subaru could ramp up production. I imagine other 2nd tier Asian crossovers are seeing similar growth.
Because most are leased or sold to rental car companies that trade before the CVT goes out
Do you have figures to back that statement up or are you just ranting about them. We’re is your proof that most are leased and sold to rental companies show us a link that is from this year.
Yep To break it down even further, Ford sells 102 trucks per hour, meaning an average of nearly two people are driving off the lot with a new F-150 every minute in the U.S., 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Ford sells one F150 every 30 seconds. No pickup can out sell the F150.
Where are people getting the money to buy these trucks?
I looked into replacing my 02 Supercrew option for option and it was over $60,000 !
If I had no money down the payment would be approx $1200 a month for 5 years !

That is a house mortgage!
But if one is content to have a “trucky” truck they’re not expensive. My brother recently bought a new XL model F-150 with a standard cab, rubber floor, base engine etc. for 21K. It has a couple of options like air and a package that gave painted bumpers and power windows. Thing has almost 1900 pounds payload, good power and is very serviceable as a truck.

None of my business because it doesn’t effect me and it should not concern you either.
