Carsguide are writing it up as significant falls for the dual cabs
https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-new...acks-appear-in "Among the hardest hit were two giants of our new-car sales race, the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger, with both suffering significant falls versus the same month in 2023. The Toyota HiLux recorded 4313 sales in September, down 25.3 per cent from the 5776 it managed in September 2023. The Ford Ranger shifted 4485 units, down 17.4 per cent on the 5429 it managed in the same month last year. The utes' stumble opened the door for the Toyota RAV4 to claim the title of Australia's best-selling vehicle for the second month running, shifting 5182 units in September, up a massive 85.2 per cent on the 2798 it managed in the same month last year, as Toyota's production woes ease up and orders are fulfilled. The overall numbers show an easing off in Australian new-car sales, with EV sales stagnating and the broader market beginning to stutter - something Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries Chief Executive Tony Weber attributes to the state of the economy."

Everest looks to be picking up the absent Prado sales which is great for Ford, just need to keep them now if they converted.
The American Pick up truck market doesn’t seem to grow, it just being spread between the 3 (soon to be 4) Manufacturers. At one stage Ram had the market to itself and used to get the 500-600 sales to itself per month. Then Silverado came along and it was split 50:50 between the 2 at about 300 sales each per month. Ford came along with F150 and now it’s about 200 sales per manufacturer per month and now with Tundra coming along….. You do the math. Probably the big winner out of all this is Walkinshaw who converts 3 of the 4 American Pick ups. But you wonder if potentially selling just 150 a month for a manufacturer is worth the effort! Time will tell I guess!

Ranger PHEV may well be a reputational 'a stitch in time saves nine ...' Also, it will be fascinating to watch the sales of Prado verses Everest in about 12 months time. Credit to Toyota with their PHEV technology. Everyone laughed at Toyota for introducing the Prius back in 1997. These days it is very mature technology, with a good payback on the initial investment for the buyer. |

Initially, this is to take back sales in its domestic market but ultimately, it will make the Japanese and Korean car invasions of North America and Europe look like small fry. Both of those regions are now worried that their entire car manufacturing industries could fold up within a decade. Hell yeah, they are terrified that the wolf is at the door. Chinese brands will probably hurt the weaker brands like Honda, Nissan and maybe some of the lesser Euro brands in our market, Peugeot, Renault, maybe even VW too Last edited by jpd80; Today at 08:28 AM. |

On topic, very pleased to see Everest sales up to 2,900 last month but realise that
some of it is definitely due to the vacant Prado, although RAV4 is storming ahead. |
