By The Numbers: Full Size Truck Sales Q1 2021:

Breaking Down The Full Size Truck Market Through The First Quarter

As we do at the end of every quarter, it is time to break down the full-sized truck sales market. Automakers are continuing to struggle with production due to the semiconductor shortage, which has caused option package changes, production slowdowns, and even resulted in vehicles being built and then held for missing parts. Even so, there were some big winners and losers in the full-sized truck market.
