Ford sold 900,000 F150s in 2019.

Toyota sold about 336,000 Camrys.

They sold a little over 110,000 Tundras.

About 200,000 Tacomas.

And Ford gets GIANT markups on the F150s, they are super profitable for them and the best selling truck for many many years now. Toyota, Honda aren't even close to American truck and SUV sales.

So explain to me again how US autos aren't competitive with Japanese brands?

"For a long time" was the qualifier. I was talking about the 70s and 80s when Japanese imports were disrupting the market.

Look outside the US and you can easily see how US Auto is uncompetitive.
