January Pickup Sales

Best Selling Pickup Trucks: January 2015

Quote :

Every ounce of pickup truck sales momentum that rolled to the end of 2014 seems like it's moving straight into 2015. Regardless of bad weather, all three of the big players had a strong month with Ford making up the most ground as new F-150s roll out of Michigan's Dearborn Truck Plant in record numbers. Additionally, the Chevrolet Colorado had its best month to date, jumping instantly into second place in the midsize pickup segment. It's also interesting to note that combined pickup sales for GM (Silverado, Sierra, Colorado and Canyon) have jumped ahead of Ford truck sales for the first time in a long time.

Other notable highlights include a continued push by Ram, which had its 57th consecutive month of month-over-month sales gains (that's almost five years of growth). Most of that growth is squarely on the back of the popular Ram 1500, while Ram heavy-duty pickups are up just 1 percent over last year.

Toyota continues to do well with both of its pickups, while Honda's Ridgeline will see declining numbers until Honda shows its next-generation Ridgeline near the end of the year. Lower fuel prices, continued incentives and more choices than ever for pickup buyers will likely help all pickup segments to grow deep into the year.

GMs mid-sized twins combined almost sold as many units as Toyotas Tundra. Interesting.

With hardly any selection on the lots yet too.

I think both Ford and Ram will almost certainly have to respond with their own mid-size units in the not-so-distant future.

Seems like the GM trucks have found a rhythm. Will be interesting to see how the market accepts the new F150. Seen a couple recently round these parts. Ram continues is trend up.

The biggest question is the real market and economy.

The new F150 does look better in person....it has sharper lines than what pics show.
