Top 11 Best-Selling Pickup Trucks In America - January 2017

Pickup truck sales jumped 4% in the United States in January 2017, a positive start to a year that hasn't started nearly so positively for many automakers. Lexus and Acura, for instance, suffered their lowest-volume months since January 2012.

But trucks, and full-size trucks in particular, generated more American sales activity in January 2017 than in January 2016. Thank the Ford F-Series, America's best-selling vehicle line, most of all. F-Series sales jumped 13% while sales of its prime competitor, the Chevrolet Silverado, slid 6%. 

Midsize trucks, meanwhile, grew only 2.5% after surging throughout 2016. The Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier, the latter most especially, couldn't match January 2016's pace. The gains produced by GM's midsize twins and the Honda Ridgeline only barely counteracted the Tacoma/Frontier losses.

Midsize pickup truck market share slid to 15.5% in January 2017 from 15.7% in January 2016 and 16.7% in the 2016 calendar year.

USA Auto Sales Brand Rankings - January 2017

After U.S. auto sales surged to an all-time December high at the tail end of 2016, forecasters assumed that January – traditionally the lowest-volume month on the calendar – would not measure up to last year's standard. With strong incentives available from keen automakers in December, some of January's sales were pulled forward.

Indeed, as automakers reported their January 2017 sales throughout the day, it was obvious that harsh declines at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Toyota Motor Corp. – both of which fell 11% – would not be overcome by more modest upticks at Honda, Nissan, and Subaru.

America's fastest-growing auto brand in January was once again Jaguar, just as it was in 2016. Jaguar volume more than doubled to 2939 units. Among volume brands, Volkswagen's 17% uptick – relative to dreadful results in January 2016 – was best. Audi, Mazda, Lincoln, and Infiniti reported double-digit percentage increases.

Four FCA brands – Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, and Jeep – were among the 16 brands to report declining volume in January 2017. Chrysler's 39% drop was worst of the bunch.

The Honda Civic was America's best-selling car in January 2017; its CR-V sibling led all utility vehicles. The Ford F-Series was America's top truck line and the top-selling new vehicle overall. 

January accounts for 8.5% of the calendar, you'll recall. But this is not the most consequential month. In fact, at no point in 2017 will sales likely be this low, as January typically accounts for 6.5% of a given year's new vehicle sales volume.

If you don't wish to see automakers arranged alphabetically, click column headers to sort automakers by January sales, year-over-year change, year-to-date totals, or any other order. Best seller lists for cars, trucks, and SUVs will be added later this afternoon. In the coming days, GCBC will also publish a complete list of year-to-date sales for every single vehicle line, a list which includes brand results. (Check out the 2016 version here.)
