Pickup truck sales in the United States in 2005 were basically level as the category endured a great deal of change, as the overall new vehicle market grew 0.5%. New trucks arrived at Mitsubishi (the Dakota-based Raider) and Honda (the Odyssey-based Ridgeline) and Lincoln (the F-150-based Mark LT) and Isuzu (the Colorado-based i-Series).
Other trucks disappeared, as General Motors replaced the S10 and Sonoma with the Colorado and Canyon.
