Australian UTE Sales in November 2025: Ford Ranger Dominates
The latest November 2025 ute sales numbers show a small dip in overall volume, but a big shift in who is winning the driveways. Ford Ranger sales rose again, Toyota Hilux sales dropped hard, and several mid‑pack models jostled for spots as Aussie utes buyers watched prices, tech, and accessories more closely than ever.
How the Top Dual Cab Utes Ranked in November 2025
November 2025 Ute sales table
| Ute model | November 2025 sales* |
|---|---|
| Ford Ranger | 4,650 |
| Toyota Hilux | 3,366 |
| Isuzu D‑Max | 1,973 |
| Mitsubishi Triton | 1,463 |
| BYD Shark | 1,227 |
| Mazda BT‑50 | 1,219 |
| GWM Cannon | 748 |
| Kia Tasman | 607 |
| Nissan Navara | 389 |
| VW Amarok | 371 |
These numbers help shoppers, fleet managers, and the automotive aftermarket understand how each model is performing in the real world and where demand for HSP 4×4 accessories and other upgrades is heading.
Ford Ranger
Ford Ranger stayed firmly at number one in November with about 4,650 units sold, widening its lead over every other dual cab UTE on the market. This strong Ford Ranger sales result shows that Aussie utes buyers still trust the Ranger’s mix of power, comfort and tech for both workdays and weekend touring.
Toyota Hilux
Toyota Hilux came in second with roughly 3,366 sales for November, but that result marks a big drop compared to recent months and past years. Many ute sales Australia watchers see this as a turning point where the Ranger’s newer tech and cabin comfort are pulling buyers away from the long time Hilux favourite.
Isuzu D‑Max
Isuzu D‑Max recorded about 1,973 sales in November, keeping its solid spot in the top three dual-cab utes in Australia. Buyers like the D‑Max for its reliability, simple diesel power, and practical cabin that suits both job sites and long drives.
Mitsubishi Triton
Mitsubishi Triton delivered around 1,463 in November sales, keeping it in the middle of the top 10 ladder. The Triton often appeals to value‑focused Aussie utes buyers who want a capable 4×4 without a premium price tag.
BYD Shark
BYD Shark posted about 1,227 sales in November, an impressive result for a newer entrant in the dual cab ute segment. This shows BYD Australia’s sales momentum is real, with more drivers open to fresh brands that bring modern tech and electrified options to the Australian automotive industry.
Mazda BT‑50
Mazda BT‑50 recorded about 1,219 sales in November, sitting just behind the BYD Shark in the charts. Many BT‑50 buyers appreciate its comfortable cabin and shared underpinnings with the Isuzu D‑Max, which gives confidence in durability for long term ownership.
GWM Cannon
GWM Cannon moved about 748 units in November, showing that budget‑friendly dual-cab utes have a real place in the Australian market. Cannon buyers are often price‑sensitive but still want a 4×4 that can handle weekend camping trips and light work duties.
Kia Tasman
Kia Tasman logged around 607 November sales, a decent early result for a new entrant in dual-cab utes. Many buyers like the idea of Kia’s warranty backing a ute that can double as a family car and a light workhorse.
Nissan Navara
Nissan Navara recorded about 389 November sales, keeping it near the bottom of the top ten ladder but still relevant for loyal owners who like its comfortable ride and proven drivetrains. For many Navara drivers, dual-cab utes are as much about family road trips as they are about work, so accessories like canopies, tub mats and tow kits are popular upgrades.
VW Amarok
VW Amarok closed out the top ten with roughly 371 sales, appealing to buyers chasing a European‑flavoured ute with strong performance and a refined cabin feel. Amarok owners often look to fit premium canopies, wheels, and HSP 4×4 accessories so the ute feels just as at home in the city as it does out on remote tracks.
Australian UTE Market
November 2025 showed a slight drop in total ute sales across Australia, but the segment remains one of the strongest performers in the Australian automotive industry. Ford Ranger strengthened its lead, Toyota Hilux lost some ground and emerging players like BYD Shark and Kia Tasman signalled that buyers are open to fresh options if the value and tech stack up.Â
For the automotive aftermarket, these numbers highlight where demand for canopies, trays and HSP 4×4 accessories is heading over the next year. As more BYD Australia sales come through and brands like GWM and Kia expand, accessory manufacturers and fitters will keep broadening their ranges so every dual cab UTE from Ranger to Amarok can be set up for work, play, or touring.
