Top 11 Best-Selling Pickup Trucks In Canada - August 2016 YTD

Canadian sales of pickup trucks jumped 5% in August 2016 despite a 2% drop in the overall Canadian auto industry's new vehicle sales volume and noteworthy drops from five of the six top-selling pickups.

The best-selling Ford F-Series' class-leading, all-time record-setting August performance of 14,197 sales – a 27% year-over-year leap – boosted the overall category. Help was derived from a trio of midsize trucks, but most pickup trucks sold less often this year than last.

The new Honda Ridgeline managed to outsell four nameplates from General Motors and Nissan, though the Ridgeline was not more popular than the Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon tandem. Of the 3047 midsize pickups sold in Canada in August 2016, 21% were Honda Ridgelines. The Colorado and Canyon combined for a 25% year-over-year increase.

Back at the top of the heap, the Ford F-Series' three top-selling rivals — Ram, Sierra, Silverado – owned 45% of the overall pickup truck market in August 2016, down eight points from 53% one year ago.
