You can see that when demand increases on Chevrolet pick up trucks  it also has a direct effect on so many other items in our economy. One of these items we chose to look at was a new type of bed liner, that fits the Chevrolet trucks with a custom contour following polyethylene panel. The bed liner is called the Dual Liner and it is unlike any other bed liner on the market, It will not cause any chaffing or any other adverse effects to the truck bed. The previous  spray on bed liners either required you to grind up the finish before installing it in the bed of the truck. The previous drop in bed liners would collect lots of dirt and debris underneath the bed liner, then they would shift around while the truck was driving down the road.  Dual Liner gives your new truck the best dent protection, the best scratch protection, and the best cargo protection available, it makes it easy to see why. When you factor in all the features and then look at the price, the Dual Liner can not be beat.

In an otherwise dismal news segment that  I have recently listened to,  I heard them talking about why there was and is a huge demand for  their trucks. It stuck out of the new cast “like a sore thumb!”  Here is some of the headlines……

GM, Ford  and Nissan all reported improved sales in November as demand for pickups and sport-utility vehicles helped the industry match its fastest sales pace of the year.

GM’s deliveries in the month climbed 11 percent to 168,739. Sales of its Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain SUVs gained 60 percent. Fords sales rose 20 percent to 147,338, fueled by a 55 percent boost in sales of the Edge SUV. Nissan, Honda Motor Co. and Chrysler Group LLC also reported light-truck gains as they boosted results. Toyota  sales fell 3.3 percent.

Industrywide light-vehicle sales ran at a 12.3 million annual pace in November, matching the October rate that was the fastest since the U.S. government’s “cash for clunkers” program in 2009. Annual U.S. sales plunged to 10.4 million last year, the worst year since 1982, after averaging 16.8 million from 2000 to 2007.

“It’s not like happy days are here again — it’s one more plodding step down the road in the right direction,” said Jeremy Anwyl, chief executive officer of Edmunds.com, an auto- shopping research site in Santa Monica, California.

The U.S. automakers’ sales gains lagged analysts’ forecasts. GM was expected to post a 13 percent sales increase by researcher TrueCar.com, and Edmunds.com projected a 12 percent gain. Ford deliveries were expected to rise 21 percent, the average estimate of five analysts. Chrysler reported a 17 percent boost to 74,152, compared with a 26 percent average of five analysts’ estimates.

Nissan Increase

Nissan, Japan’s third-largest automaker, said U.S. sales of Nissan and Infiniti brand vehicles rose 27 percent from a year ago to 71,366. The average of four analysts’ estimates was for a 16 percent gain. The Yokohama-based company benefited from higher sales of crossovers and pickups, posting a combined 54 percent increase in light-truck deliveries.

“You’re going to see strong truck sales all day,” said Michelle Krebs, an analyst with Edmunds.com. “That’s being driven by stable gas prices and pent-up demand from people who use trucks and SUVs for work and have been putting off purchases.”

Average regular unleaded gasoline  in the U.S. have been between $2.60 and $2.95 a gallon throughout 2010, according to AAA.

Stocks Gain

GM rose 58 cents to $34.78 at 4:15 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares have gained 5.4 percent from their $33 sale price in an initial public offering last month. Ford gained 52 cents, or 3.3 percent, to $16.46. Ford had gained 65 percent this year. Stocks rose on speculation of larger effort to end Europe’s debt crisis.

Chevrolet, which accounted for 70 percent of GM’s sales, boosted deliveries 18 percent to 117,588, the Detroit-based company said today in a statement. Buick sales climbed 36 percent to 11,725 vehicles, led by deliveries of the Enclave SUV, GM said today. GMC sales gained 30 percent to 27,590. Cadillac deliveries rose 21 percent to 11,801.

Sales of the Cadillac SRX climbed 36 percent, the company said.

“We continue to see a gradual rise in overall industry demand,” Don Johnson, GM’s vice president of U.S. sales, said today on a conference call. “Consumers are still cautious. We’re starting to see an inclination for people to come back into dealerships.”

Light-vehicle sales ran faster than the 12.2 million seasonally adjusted annual rate, the average of eight analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The Conference Board said its monthly Consumer Confidence Survey rose from 49.9 in October to 54.1 in November, the highest level in five months.

More Leasing

Leasing accounted for 11 percent of GM sales, up from a pace of nearly 8 percent for the year, Johnson said. More leasing and subprime lending from General Motors Financial Co. Inc., formerly Ameri-Credit Corp., should help sales as the lender and GM work more closely together, he said.

Since filing for bankruptcy last year, GM has closed Hummer, Pontiac and Saturn and sold Saab to focus on Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC. Sales of those four remaining brands rose 21 percent.

GM’s sales topped Lexington, Massachusetts-based research firm IHS Automotive’s estimate of 162,000 for the month.

“They aren’t blowing the doors out, but it’s a slow, steady recovery,” said  Rebecca Lindland

In business there seems to be many ups and downs, I would suggest that we hold on to our hats and get ready for the ride to the top. The Dual Liner is the only bed liner that I would ever consider to put into a Chevrolet Pick Up. My pick up deserves the best
