GAINESVILLE, Ga. -

As we come to the end of the spring selling season and tax-time highs, one branch of the market isn’t losing momentum.

The truck market continues to be strong, said industry analysts in the latest Black Book Market Insights report.

In fact, the Black Book editors explained they are tracking a continued pattern of strength across several truck segments, particularly crossovers.

Overall, wholesale prices for trucks increased by 0.22 percent or $37 last week.

Some of the strongest performing segments were smaller units in the truck category. For example, the company saw compact pickup rates rise by 0.62 percent or $92, while compact SUVs saw prices spike by 0.89 percent or $179. The only truck segments to see prices drop last week were the full-size CUVs, with prices dropping by 0.23 percent or $40, and the luxury SUVs, which saw prices drop by 0.9 percent or $28.

The car segments performed a bit weaker last week, with overall values dropping by 0.15 percent.

And certain luxury cars, in particular, are showing growing weakness, Black Book editors pointed out.

While mainstream brand cars showed stable prices last week, luxury level cars declined by as much as 0.67 percent, according to Black Book data.

“Interesting trends developed among different segments as luxury cars declined, mainstream brand cars remained stable and trucks continued to show strength,” said Anil Goyal, Vice President of Automotive Valuation and Analytics.

The only car segment to see a lift in prices last week was the full-size cars, with rates rising by 0.08 percent.
