What the Texas Numbers Say
Demand in Texas remains strongest for full-size pickups, with the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 leading the state in units sold over the past 90 days (21,309 and 16,582 units, respectively). Midsize sedans like the Toyota Camry (11,382 units) and compact SUVs such as the Nissan Rogue and Toyota RAV4 also show robust retail activity.
Median retail prices in Texas are notably higher than the national median ($20,724), especially for trucks and SUVs. The GMC Sierra 1500 stands out at $35,195, while the Toyota Tacoma and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 are both above $29,000. Even high-volume sedans like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord are trading above $18,000, reflecting sustained consumer willingness to pay for these models.
Velocity varies widely: the Toyota RAV4 and Camry are moving fastest, with median days on market at 52 and 56, both outperforming the national median of 79 days. In contrast, top-selling trucks like the F-150 and Silverado 1500 are sitting longer, with median days on market over 100. This suggests that while demand is high, supply may be outpacing immediate retail absorption for these pickups.
What Texas Dealers Should Consider Stocking
These recommendations are inferred from retail demand and turn speed in the data above, not from wholesale or auction (MMR) pricing.
- Toyota RAV4 With a median days on market of just 52 and over 9,100 units sold, the RAV4 combines fast retail velocity with strong demand, making it a solid candidate for restocking.
- Toyota Camry The Camry is moving quickly at 56 days on market and has the third-highest sales volume in Texas, indicating consistent retail turnover.
- Nissan Rogue The Rogue's median days on market of 75 is below the national median, and its lower mileage profile (52,975 miles) suggests continued appeal for retail buyers.
- Toyota Tacoma With a median days on market of 68 and relatively low mileage, the Tacoma offers a balance of strong demand and manageable inventory turn.
- Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Despite a longer days on market (110), the Silverado 1500's high sales volume signals ongoing demand, especially if acquisition costs can be managed.
