Best Selling Pickup Trucks: December 2014

Quote :: The pickup truck wars continue as every truckmaker made a huge push at the end of the year, making December one of the strongest sales months of 2014. Full-size pickup truck sales were up significantly for GM and Ram, largely due to strong half-ton sales, while overall Ford F-Series sales look to be even with 2013 levels — but those numbers can be a little deceiving. Ford sales staying flat most likely means that Super Duty sales have jumped to make up for F-150 sales lost to the shutdown of the Dearborn, Mich., plant so it could convert the production line for the aluminum 2015 F-150. The Kansas City, Mo., plant will be shut down next.

On the midsize pickup front, the new Chevrolet Colorado looks like it's on its way to competing with the aging Nissan Frontier for monthly sales, but both will have a hard time catching the Toyota Tacoma, especially since some big changes are on the way for the smaller Toyota.

There will be plenty of changes in 2015 for the pickup segment as a new Nissan Titan, Honda Ridgeline, Toyota Tacoma and possibly a new type of Ram truck are headed our way. And you can bet that as more Ford F-150s get into the marketplace and we see how buyers take to the new half-ton, GM will surely have some kind of response to shake up the industry up once again.

We'll have a more detailed breakdown of 2014 pickup truck sales coming soon.

Not a bad showing for the Colorado.
