Toyota Tacoma remains on top of the sales charts for the month of February 2017. Its lead over the rest continues to be challenged by the midsizers from GM and the Honda Ridgeline. The Nissan Frontier had a sharp decline in sales in February, when compared to last year.
While the rest made marginal sales gains, the last place GMC Canyon was the most improved midsize truck in U.S. sales. It grew by 22.0% and came relatively close to taking fourth place from the 2017 Ridgeline.

Will the Toyota Tacoma regain dominant control of the midsize segment this year, or will its continue to be chipped away by the competition? One thing is for sure, competition is a lot tougher now, than it was just a year or two ago.
