I think the results speak for themselves really and continue a trend. Ford has called for weakening sales and we have likely seen the top end of their monthly sales volume. It seems as if Chevy doesn’t hold a “Truck Month” promotion their sales slip as customers wait for the bargains. The Tundra continues to hold steady at right around 10k units and the Titan is still not a big seller.

The Tacoma continues to lead the way in mid-size truck volume while the change at the Wentzville Assembly plant to build more trucks looks to be behind the boom in the Chevy Colorado sales. The Ridgeline’s sales are likely still to many existing customers switching over and a few new truck buyers. Hard to say if traditional truck buyers are moving over to it. Finally, the Nissan Frontier shows being old isn’t such a bad thing.

    Maybe the Titan is getting some traction now; sort of looks like it.

    I have been thinking about doing some test drives on the Ridgeline. I can certainly see why they are moving the units now. The only thing, I have heard on the negatives is the back doors not opening wide enough and the non-locking tailgate, if that is true?

    I think the price threshold some manufacturers were testing has now reached a threshold. Also, it has helped with the Frontier’s out-of-nowhere success this sales year.

    I agree, being old and holding to one roots is not a bad thing.
