That depends on how poor sales where last years and how many units you are talking about
It really deserves a A++ because it is new model and concept that is in uncharted waters. It is doing really well considering that each sale is lakely "stealing" a detriot truck sale.
This is misleading because what other sales is Ford loosing on other models with this? You need to look at the big picture on this one to rate it.

You are ignoring the facts that Toyota not only has slaped rebates on the Tundra, they also slapped on other dealer incentives, and practically ordered all the Toyota and Lexus delaers to buy one in April for use as a parts truck. Considering that a precentge of the April sales, were sales to their own dealers, are you so sure they deserve even a B?

If one adds the Edge number to the F150 number of around 900,000 that's over a million vehicles and a lot more than the Tundra and Camry combined total ;)

And Detroit still can't make a profit........
They have screwed up trying to invade the US light truck market every time. The new Tundra factory in Texas is turning out to be an embarrassing money pit for Toyota management. According to standard Jap corporate procedure, someone will have to fall on their sword for the screw up, and the factory will be converted to produce fuel efficient cars.
Nissan has already dumped the Titan for next year.
Ask anyone who has achieved anything beyond the normal and they will tell you " the price of progress is trouble ". Toyota has deep enough pockets to fix whatever is broken.
It hasn't been too long ago that the term "Japanese cars " made people laugh. No one that knows anything is laughing about their cars now. I think the same thing will be true regarding their trucks in a few years. History tends to repeat.
