2010 Chicago Auto Show (Part 3)

Pickups OK; SUVs, Not So Much

Trucks continue to shine brightly in Chicago, while full-size SUVs have all but disappeared.

Trucks and SUV cars by American cars have came out. The trucks have shone, but the SUV have not.

In fact, approximately 50.6 percent of the 16.8 million vehicles sold in 2002 were light trucks (including pickups, SUVs and vans). The Ford F-Series accounted for an amazing 813,000 sales that year, while the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra combined for 754,000 sales and the Dodge Ram netted 396,000 sales. It was a time when full-size trucks were not just work vehicles. Inside, they had become quieter and more luxurious, and with the crew cab option, more and more buyers were using them as everyday transportation.

Leaving the 'bad' news alone, I will show you some pictures of those vehicles.
