As is the tradition on BSCB we have a look at the Thai pick-up ranking each month. Why? Because Thailand is the 1 ton pick-up factory of the world and it’s always interesting to see how these fare ‘at home’. The biggest surprise this month is the 30% decline of pick-up sales compared to July 2012 to 37,313 units… After beating record after record in 2012 and 2013, it would appear the Thai new vehicle market, vastly influenced by the pick-up segment, is starting to cough…

In July the Toyota Hilux kills everyone, selling 15,863 units for a 42.5% market share (vs. 38.5% year-to-date) while the Isuzu D-Max is down to 12.430 sales and 33.3% (vs. 35.6%). The Mitsubishi Triton is back up one spot to its traditional third place at 2,297 units and 6.2%, followed by the Ford Ranger, Mazda BT-50 and Chevrolet Colorado.
