Complete American Pickup Truck Sales Figures - 2005 Year End

Pickup truck sales in the United States in 2005 were basically level as the category endured a great deal of change, as the overall new vehicle market grew 0.5%. New trucks arrived at Mitsubishi (the Dakota-based Raider) and Honda (the Odyssey-based Ridgeline) and Lincoln (the F-150-based Mark LT) and Isuzu (the Colorado-based i-Series). 

Other trucks disappeared, as General Motors replaced the S10 and Sonoma with the Colorado and Canyon.

GCBC's Most Popular Auto Sales Figures - February 2014

No Review At GCBC Was More Frequently Read In
February Than This Mazda 3's; Only 8 Vehicles
Showcased Their Sales Figures More Often

More than any individual automobile nameplate, the auto sales page for Maserati's total brand sales figures was the most heavily-trafficked auto sales page at GCBC in February 2014. 

As of this point, Maserati still doesn't release model-specific sales figures in the U.S. and Canada. But as the brand's totals rise, perhaps we're coming closer to seeing Ghibli, Quattroporte, GranTurismo, and GranCabrio tallies.

The most popular specific automobile nameplate in February 2014 - measured by total views on GoodCarBadCar.net - was the Jeep Cherokee, a vehicle which also ranked as the fourth most popular review at GCBC last month, as well. The Cherokee's early success is undeniable. It may not sell like the Honda CR-V or Ford Escape, and it may never sell at those high levels. 

But the Cherokee is currently competing with the Compass and Patriot for low-volume Jeep dollars and the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler for higher-volume Jeep dollars. And despite this fact, it's still selling better than nearly 90% of the utility vehicles in America. Outselling the CR-V and Escape won't be the only way to gauge Cherokee success.

In this post you'll also find the most commonly read January 2014-related sales articles at GCBC over the last month and the most frequently viewed GCBC Driven reviews, as well.

Automobile manufacturers will begin reporting their February 2014 sales figures on Monday, March 3, 2014. GoodCarBadCar will be updated throughout the day with brand results from both the United States and Canada. Later on Monday, U.S. February best seller lists for cars and trucks and SUVs will be published, as well.

As always, sales figures for all manufacturers, makes, and models will be updated in GCBC's free searchable database of historical monthly and yearly sales data. For non-mobile users (or mobile users who have opted to view the full site by selecting that option at the bottom of the page), you can also select a vehicle, a brand, a manufacturer, or total industry figures in a dropdown menu near the top right of this page. The in-depth breakdown of February 2014 new vehicle sales begins in earnest straightaway at the beginning of March.

Complete American Pickup Truck Sales Figures - 2007 Year End

2007 was the Toyota Tundra's most successful year ever, but in no wise was 2007 the year of the pickup truck, not in the home of the pickup truck. In the United States, sales of all but three trucks declined. Two of the pickups that produced improved year-over-year volume were extraordinarily low-volume nameplates. Tundra sales jumped 58% to 196,555 units.

The Ford F-Series continued to be America's top-selling truck, but with fewer than 700,000 sales, the F-Series was outsold by the GM twins, Chevrolet's Silverado and the GMC Sierra. And not just by a little bit: the gap measured 135,911 units.

Not including the Isuzu i-Series, General Motors was responsible for 51% of the trucks sold in the United States. Including the Cadillac Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, and Lincoln Mark LT, full-size pickup truck sales fell to 2,209,584 from 2,289,569 in 2006, a 3.1% drop. 8.9% of those sales came from the Toyota Tundra, up from 5.5% in 2006.

But overall pickup truck sales slid 5.9% after falling 10.2% in 2005. 16.9% of the new vehicles sold in America in 2007 were pickup trucks, down from 17.5% the year before. The overall market slid 2.5% to 16.15 million units. Complete sales figures for 22 different truck nameplates are visible in the sortable table below.

Breaking: The Ford F-Series Is Ridiculously Popular

I was inside MacPhee Ford's newish showroom in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, last night because, well, sometimes it snows on the day I need to tow my nonexistent boat to my brother-in-law's in order to help him move apartments while transporting my baby boy, my wife, my mother, and my dog to the beach. That's what I'm telling myself anyhow, because I'd feel old and paternal if I said it had a lot to do with the size of the upcoming, rear-facing convertible child seat. 

This glassed-in Ford palace - which costs more than a decent annual government salary to run every month - is a testament to the F-Series' strength. Sure, there's a small group of Fusions in one corner of the lot. (The Fusion is Canada's top-selling midsize car.) MacPhee has decided to make a conscious effort to succeed with the C-Max even as it becomes a very rare car Canada-wide, so there are a few to be seen on the lot. Summer will inevitably bring out the Mustangs; 17-year-old Fast & Furious fans will spend some time ogling a lone Fiesta ST, too. But it's the F-Series, the F-150 in particular, that does the heavy lifting. 

• All 248 Vehicle Ranked By January 2014 U.S. Sales
• All 238 Vehicles Ranked By January 2014 Canadian Sales

You've heard the numbers: the F-Series generates 90% of Ford Motor Company's global profits, Morgan Stanley says. Everything is working to the F-Series' advantage. The current-generation truck is inexpensive to build, easily reconfigurable to appeal to completely different sets of buyers, and it's perfectly marketed. 

As a result, you don't drive to the grocery store anywhere in North America without seeing at least a few. You've long since stopped noticing this omnipresence. One of the F-150's was likely a basic rear-wheel-drive, white XL work truck with the phone company's stickers. Another was filled with kids on the way to hockey practice. The third one, a black King Ranch, did make you take notice. The fourth, fifth, and sixth were identical blue or red XLTs, the affordable family rigs, but there was only one commuting occupant aboard.

How Popular Is  The F-Series In America?	2013  U.S. Sales	2012 U.S. Sales	% Change
Ford F-Series	763,402	645,316	18.3%
Toyota Camry & Corolla/Matrix	710,664	695,833	2.1%

Yes indeed, they're everywhere. And GCBC can't avoid pointing out this fact multiple times each month, as the F-Series leads the way in truck rankings, again when we list the 30 best-selling vehicles, and again when we rank all 20+ dozen vehicle nameplates. This goes for the U.S. standings and the Canadian results, too. But it could be argued that straight lists mask the F-Series' dominance. It's assumed that the F-Series will be in the top spot each month, so eyes drift directly to the second slot. The pie chart we use in our lists of the 30 best-selling vehicles allows the eye to align more closely with reality. The tables visible in this post, however, are quite a bit different. 

Ford's 2015 F-150 Will Make Heavy (Light?) Use Of Aluminum, Therefore Shedding Up To 700 Pounds

How popular is the Ford F-Series? In America, the F-Series outsold the Hyundai, Kia, Jeep, GMC, Subaru, and Volkswagen brands. In Canada, the F-Series outsold the two most popular cars in the country combined, Honda's Civic and Hyundai's Elantra.

Trucks struggled in January 2014 to match January 2013's pace both in the United States and Canada, falling 4.5% in both countries. (Slight F-Series declines were part of the problem on both sides of the border.) But like the F-Series, the full-size truck category as a whole is a booming corner of the North American automobile marketplace. Popularity is not an F-Series exclusive. Extreme popularity, on the other hand, is something no other vehicle line can claim.

Keep in mind, it's not 2004. Trucks are a growing force, but fuel prices have risen and competition for your $35,000 is rampant. Ford sold 939,511 F-Series pickups in the U.S. that year. F-Series sales totalled 763,402 units in America in 2013, equal to 4.9% of the market's sales, down from 5.6% in 2004.

How Popular Is The F-Series In Canada?	2013  Canadian Sales	2012 Canadian Sales	% Change
Ford F-Series	122,325	106,358	15.0%
Honda Civic & Hyundai Elantra	118,823	115,912	2.5%
