Doing some market research and thought I would share this recent data I put together.
"The light truck population on U.S. roads expanded at an unprecedented pace over the past 15 years. There were over 138 million light trucks in the U.S. at mid-year 2015, up over 50% from 94 million light trucks during 2000.
Since 2000, light trucks have climbed from 38% to more than 54% of total light vehicles in the U.S., as the number of passenger cars in the U.S. plunged by more than 9 million during the past 15 years.
Domestic nameplates dominate light truck Vehicles In Operation on U.S. roads, generating over 80% of light truck product volume last year. In contrast, domestic nameplates accounted for less than 20% of passenger car 2015 product sales."
Looks like if it wasn’t for Ford, GM and Dodge truck sales, the big three would be broke.
