The Toyota Motor Manufacturing Texas plant in San Antonio produces the Tundra and Tacoma pickup trucks and in 2015, produced over 232,000 trucks.

Sales for Toyota’s popular Tacoma surged by more than 15 percent in November over the same month last year as demand for the automaker’s pickup trucks remained unexpectedly strong.

Demand for Toyota’s trucks helped push the manufacturer’s year-over-year sales for all vehicles up 4.3 percent in November, beating a Bloomberg survey of analysts that estimated a 3.4 percent increase. Toyota’s sales, year-to-date, are down 2.4 percent.

Multiple auto manufacturers said that an extra two selling days in November and earlier Black Friday deals likely helped car companies sell more vehicles last month.

Through November Toyota has sold 7.2 percent more Tacoma’s than in the same period of 2015. The mid-sized pickup truck is built at Toyota’s San Antonio and Baja California, Mexico, plants.

Toyota’s Tundra, the company’s full-sized pickup truck exclusively made in San Antonio, posted year-over-year sales gains of 11.5 percent for the month. Sales through the first 11 months of the year fell by 3.5 percent.

Ford reported its best November sales since 2001 for its F-series full-sized pickup truck, which posted a 10.6 percent sales increase compared to November 2015. Through November, the F-series has sold 5.5 percent more trucks in 2016 compared with last year.
