The all-new 2021 Ford F-150 has landed, aiming to fight the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra with “the most maximum towing, payload, torque and horsepower of any full-size light-duty pickup.” link: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/06/all-new-2021-ford-f-150-lands-to-fight-chevrolet-silverado-gmc-sierra/#comments

PHOENIX — When you make big investments in a pickup to improve fuel economy — think Ford's aluminum-body F-150 or the mild-hybrid system on Ram's 1500 — you expect significant results. So how does General Motors explain shifting to a four-cylinder turbo for its redesigned full-size pickups and getting little gain in combined EPA fuel economy ratings over the previous generation's V-6?

Last month, General Motors announced that it will no longer report its sales results on a monthly basis. The Detroit-based automaker will share sales data on a quarterly basis instead. The move breaks an auto industry tradition that has lasted longer than similar changes in sales reporting in the technology and retailing, along with other sectors. Let’s explore what’s behind GM’s decision. GM insists that a mere thirty days is too short a time frame to determine trends related to sales, demand, and supply in the automotive industry. Like other publicly-traded firms, the automaker already reports its financial results on a quarterly basis, rather than monthly. “Thirty days is not enough time to separate real sales trends from short-term fluctuations in a very dynamic, highly competitive market,” Kurt McNeil, GM’s U.S. vice president for sales operations, said in a statement. “Reporting sales quarterly better aligns with our business, and the quality of information will make it easier to see how the business is performing.” As any amateur statistician will tell you, however, more (accurate) information – not less – is key to trend and pattern derivation. But we’ll save that topic for another time. For now, we’ll conclude that GM wants to control the flow of sales-related information for its own benefit.

Ron Seewald thought his 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali crew cab was the truck of his dreams. In almost every way, he said, it was an improvement over his nearly identical 2014 trade-in.
