Pickup truck sales in the United States rose 11% in September 2015, a nearly 22,000-unit improvement compared with September 2014. But the gains weren't produced by nameplates across the board.
America's two best-selling truck nameplates, the Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Silverado, were up 16% and 7%, respectively. The Silverado's GMC Sierra twin posted an 18% increase. But three of the top six pickup trucks recorded fewer sales this September than last, and last September's two top-selling small/midsize truck nameplates – Tacoma and Frontier – were jointly down 16%.
U.S. Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - August 2015 YTD
As a result of the Tacoma and Frontier losses, the midsize truck sub-category's growth slowed dramatically in September 2015. The 30% year-over-year improvement was meaningful, undoubtedly, but it compares with a 49% increase through the first eight months of 2015. In September, 12% of the new trucks sold in America were non-full-size pickups.
Full-size truck volume rose 9% to 188,850 units despite the Ram P/U's negligible decrease and the Toyota Tundra's 8% decline. The class-leading Ford F-Series was once again outsold by the GM full-size twins. The Silverado and Sierra outsold the F-Series by 3828 units in September, specifically, and by 56,106 units through the first three quarters of 2015.
The last time the GM full-size twins outsold the F-Series over the course of a calendar year was 2009.
