Canadian sales of pickup trucks exploded in November 2016, surging 31% compared with November 2015 on the way to claiming 20.4% of the overall Canadian auto industry's new vehicle sales volume.
With best-ever November results for the F-Series via a 37% year-over-year improvement, the Ford F-Series stood firm in its usual number-one position as Canada's top-selling pickup truck and Canada's best-selling vehicle line overall.

But General Motors sudden midsize surge – along with meaningful gains from the automaker's full-size trucks – meant GM actually sold more total pickup trucks in November 2016 than Ford Canada.
That's not an unusual turn of events south of the border, but it's by no means the norm in Canada. GM sold 11,620 pickup trucks in Canada in November 2016, up 36% compared with November 2015. The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon owned 57% of the Canadian midsize pickup truck market in November.
Pickup trucks produced 41% of GM Canada's November volume as GM outsold every other manufacturer in Canada for the first time this year.

After Ford suffered a fire at the automaker's Michigan headquarters Monday, we did not receive Ford F-Series sales figures until Wednesday, a day later than other automakers reported.
The outcome? F-Series sales declined sharply, but it was still the best-selling pickup truck line in Canada.
Canada Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - October 2016 YTD
In September, the F-Series, Canada's best-selling line of vehicles, set an all-time monthly sales record, outselling its three top rivals combined. Through the first three-quarters of 2016, four out of every ten pickup trucks sold in Canada were F-150s or F-Series Super Dutys. The level of domination was not nearly so obvious in October. The F-Series' full-size market share fell to 37% from 48% a month earlier.
Canadian sales of small/midsize pickups took an 8% dive in October 2016, a slowdown caused by the top-selling Toyota Tacoma and slowest-selling Nissan Frontier.
Tacoma sales slid 39% in October 2016, one year after rising 86% from 929 units in October 2014. The Tacoma maintained its grip on the top spot, 39 sales ahead of the GM midsize twins: Colorado and Canyon. Honda reported 471 Ridgeline sales, a massive boost for the segment – the Ridgeline wasn't on sale last year – but the second consecutive month in which Honda Canada delivered fewer Ridgelines.
Meanwhile, Ram full-size truck sales slid 16%, surrendering its position as Canada's second-best-selling vehicle to the Honda Civic. GM Canada's full-size twins fell 24%.
