GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Full-size pickup trucks have long been a mainstay in automotive inventories and sales and are a significant driver of profits for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) with a large presence in that segment. In the first quarter of 2023, for example, four of the top five models in terms of Average Inventory levels are full-size pickups. But while models such as the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ram 1500, and Sierra 1500 continue to assert their large presence in the marketplace, the efficiency at which these vehicles are selling is among the lowest of any segment in the industry.

  • The full-size pickup truck segment's Inventory Efficiency Index score has been below 100 since Q3 of 2021, beginning when gas prices spiked and remained above $3.00 a gallon on a national basis.
