Sales of heavy-duty Chevrolet Silverado pickups declined as fuel prices rose, while overall Silverado sales increased because of gains in lighter-duty models, according to The New York Times.

The report said Americans were moving away from full-size pickups and SUVs. It did not provide sales figures or a time period for the changes.

The Silverado results show differing demand within the pickup market: light-duty versions contributed to growth, while heavy-duty models saw lower sales.
