For the first time since December 2010, U.S. Toyota Tundra sales volume was measured with five digits. August 2012 Tundra sales rose 68% year-over-year, the best percentage increase of any pickup truck. Strictly measured by unit gains, the Toyota Tundra increased by 4595 sales. Ford F-Series sales jumped 19% in August 2012, a 9406-unit boost.
Of the 1,036,844 full-size pickup trucks sold under the Silverado, Ram, F-Series, Sierra, Titan, and Tundra nameplates in the first eight months of 2012, 6.3% were Tundras. Respectively, the F-Series, Silverado, Ram, Sierra, and Titan owned 39.4%, 25.2%, 18.1%, 9.5%, and 1.4% of America's full-size pickup truck market through the first eight months of 2012.
Tundra market share, though low, is up from 5.9% in the first eight months 0f 2011. The other five trucks, in the order already mentioned, held 39%, 27.2%, 16.5%, 10.1%, and 1.4% of America's pickup truck market between January and August of 2011.
Ford, so dominant in the truck market, is absent in the minivan market. Chrysler, with the brand's Town & Country and Dodge's Grand Caravan, has seen tremendous growth from both vans in 2012. Compared with the first two-thirds of 2011, T&C sales have risen 26%; Grand Caravan sales are up 26%. 45% of all minivan sales in America this year have come from the Chrysler/Dodge duo. The Honda Odyssey ranks second with 86,459 sales, up 29% from last year. The Toyota Sienna is just 923 sales ahead of the Chrysler Town & Country in the bronze medal position.
August marked just the seventh time in the last 32 months, but the second consecutive month, that Mazda 5 sales dipped below 1000 units. It's almost as though Mazda is trying to prove to every other automaker that quit the U.S. mini-minivan segment (or, more likely, never bothered to enter) by reporting lower and lower sales. Only 2.3% of the minivans sold in America this year have been Mazda 5s.
