Sales of pickup trucks in the United States could hit two million units this year for the first time since 2007, USA Today reports, quoting an Edmunds.com research, adding that current numbers are still well below the pre-recession three million plus annual sales.
With the economy slowly rising, truck demand from tradesman and commercial users has grown due to “stronger housing and construction markets”, as well as “flourishing energy and agricultural sectors,” says Edmunds analyst Michelle Krebs.
According to Autoblog, Ford’s F-Series continues to be segment leader in 2013, with almost 500,000, while the Chevrolet Silverado and the Ram 1500 follow with 328,269 and 234,642 units sold through August respectively.
