Ford's brand-new 2011 Super Duty pickup is creating a dramatic boost in truck sales, with May the best sales month for the model in two years. Sales of the truck beat retail targets by 237 percent in May, and beat the overall sales target (including fleet sales) by 153 percent.

According to Ford Truck Marketing Manager Doug Scott the majority of buyers are opting for the F-250 Crew Cab model with four-wheel drive. Also popular is the new 6.7-liter PowerStroke diesel engine that makes 390-hp and 735 ft-lbs of torque. In total, 60 percent of buyers opted for this powerful new engine.

The popularity of the F-Series Super Duty helped Ford truck sales overall, with total F-Series sales jumping 49 percent in May for a 39 percent increase total for the first five months of 2010.

Couldn't part of the increase be because of the rebates on the 10 models? I bought a 10 even though I really wanted an 11, just because of the enourmous rebates.

Either way, love my Fords!

They just had to get the 10s out, and the only way to do it was with the rebates/incentives. I think a lot of people will feel a little better with a real

diesel under the hood. I know that I would have shied away with a navistar under the hood.

I'm not all that unhappy yet of 2010. Got a programmer and exhaust. Need to pull my big 5er. If it does that and not cry like the 06. We good for now. Will wait on the goodies to be released for the 11/12's.
