What the Texas Numbers Say
Texas continues to see strong retail demand for full-size pickups, with the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 leading the state in units sold over the past 90 days. Both models significantly outpace the next tier of sedans and crossovers, with the F-150 moving 21,309 units and the Silverado 16,582. Notably, the Toyota Camry and RAV4 also maintain high sales volumes, reflecting steady consumer interest in reliable sedans and crossovers.
Median retail prices in Texas are generally above the national median of $20,724. For example, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 commands a median price of $29,069, and the Toyota Tacoma sits at $30,998. Even high-volume sedans like the Toyota Camry and Corolla are selling above $18,000. This price strength, especially among trucks and newer crossovers, suggests robust retail margins for well-selected inventory.
Velocity varies widely by model. The Toyota RAV4 and Camry stand out with median days on market of 52 and 56, respectively, both well below the Texas average and the national median of 79 days. In contrast, the Ford F-150 and Silverado 1500, despite high sales, linger longer on lots (106 and 110 days median), indicating that while demand is high, supply is also ample. Fast-moving models like the RAV4 and Camry present opportunities for quicker retail turns.
