Old Habits Die Hard: Two Thirds Of American Vehicles Sold This Year Have Been Trucks

Pickup trucks, SUVs, crossovers and, in Chrysler's case, minivans accounted for 65.8% of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler 2011 sales through November, according to Autodata. That's up from 64% last year and the domestic automakers' heaviest truck concentration since 66.3% in 2004.
