Ford continues to lead the full-size truck sales chart, but the F-Series stumbled on October 2018 with a -7.3% decrease compared to October of last year. General Motors is reporting sales quarterly, so we don’t have an update to GM this month. Ram Trucks grew significantly in October (11%).
Toyota Tundra sales declined and the Nissan Titan broke even for the month. All full-size truck manufacturers listed here are showing single digit Year-To-Date (YTD) growth. This is great news for the U.S. truck market, and we hope the upward trend continues until the end of the end and beyond.
