The Good
Fiat Chrysler's Ram brand, which includes full-size pickups and ProMaster cargo vans, rose by a huge 18 percent, to 703,023 units. The pickups, which were redesigned recently, were up by 18 percent overall to topple the Chevy Silverado from its usual second-place perch in the truck wars. The full-size ProMaster was up 21 percent, which can be partially attributed to large-scale orders from Amazon for its fleet of delivery vans.
Subaru was up 3 percent to 700,117 units, largely thanks to the addition of the Ascent three-row SUV and strong sales of the Outback and Forester, both of which were recently redesigned. The company says that 2019 marked the 11th consecutive year of sales gains.
