Don't know. Lots of "packages" at Ford.

Toyota always will have a problem selling in rural American. It has about 1,200 dealers while the Detroit Three each have about three times that number. It's unlikely that a farmer in the middle of Nebraska will switch to Tundra when the closest dealer is 200 miles away.

The Detroit Three produce good trucks. They just don't market them well.

Toyota is developing a model to pair large urban dealers with small sales/service sites in smaller area. The small sales operations would carry almost no inventory.
