Toyota VS. Chrysler in the battle for 3rd place.

At the end of 2009, the first and second spots for overall pickup truck sales are virtually locked up. GM is set to take the top spot, with 441,472 midsize and full-size trucks (Cadillac Escalade EXT, Chevy Avalanche, Chevy Colorado, Chevy Silverado, GMC Canyon, GMC Sierra, Hummer H3T) sold through November, and Ford is expected to grab the runner-up position, with 416,658 units (Ford F-Series, Ford Ranger, Lincoln Mark LT) sold year-to-date.

But the race for the third spot is once again looking like a dead heat. Last year, for the first time, Chrysler gave up the No. 3 spot to Toyota for overall truck sales, marking the first time an import manufacturer had occupied this position.

This year, Chrysler is leading Toyota. Combined sales of the Dakota and Ram pickups sit at 175,326 units sold through November. Toyota is running just a few thousand units behind, at 172,842 units sold of its Tundra and Tacoma rigs.

Which will sell more pickups in 2009? Chrysler or Toyota? Check back in a few days to find out. It's going to be close!

i think Toyota should get third place..... it deserves that position as it is better that Chrysler.... even other people will also give importance to Toyota..............

I'm proud to see Chevy is taking the first spot for sales. Ironically I bought my Silverado this June. It was 3 yr lease return so I'm sure it wasn't counted as part of this serve. But it was bought at a dealership.
Let us know who comes in 3rd Rob. If you hear.
I'd like to know

Going by these numbers, i'm going to say Toyota... But keep in mind, Toyota makes two different models, Chrysler only makes one.
