By The Numbers: Ram Vs The Competition Q1 2020:

Breaking Down The Full Size Truck Market Through The First Quarter

As we do at the end of every quarter, it is time to break down the full-sized truck sales market. This has been an interesting quarter with the emerging COVID-19 pandemic taking its toll on not only auto sales, but the economy as a whole. Even so, there were some big winners and losers in the full-sized truck market.
