Toyota Tacoma Still Dominates the Midsize Truck Segment in May [Sales Report] - The Fast Lane
Take a look at the numbers from last year’s report – Pickup sales in May 2014. There were just three entries in the segment a year ago: Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, and the Honda Ridgeline. Together they sold 21,963 units in May of 2014 and 99,785 units for the first five months on 2014. Now, the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon join the party. The five midsize pickups together sold 34,767 units in May 2015 and 151,208 units in the five months on the year. This is a big 58. 3% increase for the segment for the month and 51. 5% increase over the first five months. Mid-size Trucks – May 2015 Sales Chart Order cut off for GM twins was end of March early April for 2015 models because they were already at max production limits for the balance of the 2015 model year. So production limits is what is holding the twins back in numbers right now. What is impressive right now is that Silverado sales are climbing and 1500 Series GM’s have beat F150 sales for last 2 mths and had over 70,000 May sales. Plus this truck has been out now for a number of months and with all the F150 plants of the previous truck now producing the new body for a number. Source: www.tfltruck.com
