Dodge Cummins rules in Texas?

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

I found this article posted by MikeyB on DTR. Notice the comment about Dodge Cummins having 40% of the HD diesel pickup market in Texas. If it's true that's very



That means there's 60% left to divvy between Ford & Chevy which means 30% apiece if averaged. It would be interesting to know some details behind these numbers and what timeframe they are based on (2003 model year? calendar year? etc. ).

Ooops

Here's the news article from the 1-07-04 edition of the Houston Chronicle. Kudos to Tim Spell for writing a good and factually accurate article! http://www.chron.com/cgi-bin/auth/story.mpl/content/chronicle/auto/04/01/07/dodge.html

I seriously doubt it's 30/30... Fords are HUGE in TX...



I'd bet that remaining 60% is more like 40/20 Ford/Chevy

Dont get me wrong. . Fords are really big in Texas, but it depends on what you base that on... as far as Rodeos, and who pulls their trailers with what, Dodge leads by far, then Ford, and last, Chevy. As far as having a 3/4 ton or 1 ton, diesel or gasser, Ford has lots out there. . I will just leave it at that, as not to start some stupid war on who sells more.

I was talking HD, but I agree... doesn't really matter to me who sells more as long as I know which is best... I mean, Mickey D's sells more burgers than anyone, but that doesn't mean they're the best burgers...

As a Texas resident I would agree with the Ford/Chevy numbers breakdown (no pun intended) opinion expressed by Forrest regarding the HD market.

Guy's this is a subject matter we need to keep under the table. We go to talking about our trucks being number (1) in the HD class and every one will want one causing the prices to skyrocket on the CTD (Supply&Demand). So every one stay hush, hush about this matter. I'm going to start telling them I wish I had got a Ford :-laf :-laf

I agree with Tony.

Right on Tony. We need to rag on the cummins some to help keep the price low. I bought a barand new truck just like I wanted for 27K try and do that with a duramax
