Retail sales for trucks in classes 4 through 7 sank 16.3% in May compared with a year earlier to just below 17,000, Wards Intelligence reported. It was the largest year-over-year percentage decline to date in 2022. Sales were 16,859 compared with 20,134 a year earlier, according to Wards. One truck maker said the priority in production has been and will continue to be heavy-duty trucks versus medium-duty, but said manufacturing pressure for both sectors is easing.
