On-lot inventory per dealer dipped slightly from Q1 (down 0.6%) but remains significantly higher year-over-year (up 14.7%).<\/p>\n Sales activity picked up, with units moved per dealer rising 12.5% from Q1 and 35.0% year-over-year, reflecting operational demand, as well as a likely number of pull-ahead sales due to tariff concerns.

Used inventory per dealer remained nearly flat compared to the first quarter of the year, after dipping in the final two quarters of 2024, while sales ticked upward by 4.5% QoQ and 10.5% YoY. Despite an anomalous uptick in Q1 2025, DTT, as expected, continued to decline overall, dropping 5.6% YoY.<\/p>\n Median mileage of used commercial trucks and vans dropped 10.8% QoQ, but is still up 5.1% YoY.
