ii.

The research window is already open.

Vehicle purchases carry an eight-week research lead. The buyer visiting your lot in June started comparing online in April. Recognition built now lands at decision time.

iii.

Trucks dominate what sells.

Of 135,511 units new vehicles sold nationally, 119,058 units were trucks. The spring buyer is shopping capability, and new model year inventory is at peak selection.
