When stepping foot in the truck community, it doesn’t take much time to notice the fierce competition among American truck manufacturers and their respective consumers. The primary competitors involved in this battle include Ford, Dodge, and GM (Chevy & GMC).

The company we will analyze first is Ford because of it being the oldest independent manufacturer on the list.
