Maybe they figured a Dodge is worth nothing more than 'gopher' duty, leaving the valuable Nissan trucks to sell for a profit to customers?

Maybe they were hopin' that by putting Nissan stickers on the Dodge it would class up their dealership A nissan might last longer then a dodge but for looks I'd sure pick the Mopar. I'm not a big fan of imports in any form, mainly because everytime I see one that looks OK I seem to find something in a domestic that looks a lot better. I will say that if money was the issue I probably would go with the import due to the fact they may be somewhat more reliable & cost less to maintain.

On second thought I suppose I'd still stick with the domestic even if I was pinchin' pennies

The machismo of a big ol' Dodge with a Hemi engine gets my vote

No, I'm talking about the whole vehicle, bumper to bumper, painted with Folsom Lake Nisson (it was de-badged of course). It was a dealership vehicle; Oh my . . .

The local Honda dealer uses F-150's for parts runners.



Wouldn't you think they would want to use a Ridgeline.



According to USA Today, they are having trouble selling them.

Toyota's approach to Tundra is opposite Honda's pickup philosophy. Honda developed its first U.S. pickup, Ridgeline, as a trim-size machine able to handle typical chores of light-duty, weekend users and engineered to ride and handle more like a car than a truck.



Ridgeline won North American Truck of the Year honors from a jury of 49 journalists who work for a variety of outlets. It also won a truck of the year trophy from Motor Trend magazine.



Sales don't reflect that respect. Honda sold just 46,407 Ridgelines its first 12 months on the market, a period that ended Jan. 31, according to industry sales tracker Autodata.

I would take a Dodge over a Nissan any day. Maybe the owners preferred to use a more dependable 'truck' to ensure their customer's get to where they need to go "in comfort" while their vehicles are in the shop. Them nissans in my op are not comfortable.



It says alot about a dealership's pride in their products when they use another makers product for a company vehicle. :lol:



Caymen you know the ridgeline is for looks and not hauling- they are having trouble because when the people go in and look at the facts about the RL, they then go to Ford :lol:



I was wondering who sold the most....

Ford sells about 900,000 full-size F-series trucks a year. GM's Chevrolet and GMC brands combined hit about 930,000. Dodge sells about 400,000 Rams. Toyota has been selling roughly 120,000 of the current-design Tundras, and Nissan is selling about 85,000 Titans annually.

ford wins



GM's Chevrolet and GMC had to team up to beat their competion :lol:

 

[Michelle Widell]

Ford wins? Looks like GM wins to me.

 

[Tom Schindler]

GM has always produced more trucks then Ford has. Ford, the brand...not the company, has been the number 1 selling truck for something like 1 million years. GM, the company produces more trucks, not the individual brands.

That's what I mean, They only compared F150 sales to the two combined GM sales

lol: believe believe!!
