Swapalease.com, the nation's largest online lease marketplace, compared truck inventory and consideration data from 2014 against 2012 and found that there has been a significant increase in the number of shoppers driving truck leases, and those looking for truck leases. Topping the list is the Chevy Silverado, which has seen a 286.4% jump in Swapalease.com inventory, and an 89.6% increase in shopping consideration over the last two years.

Here are numbers on four of today's popular trucks showing an increase in lease activity on the Swapalease.com marketplace:

                                      Percent Change From 2012 to 2014
Make       Model                       Inventory    Searches
Chevy      Silverado                       286.4    89.6
Ford         F-150                              69.0    51.1

"It has always been interesting to see trucks as a top driver of overall sales historically without this translating over to lease activity," said Scot Hall, Executive Vice President of Swapalease.com. "I think what you're seeing today, however, is a shift among traditional drivers of trucks who now see the value of strong lease deals available for popular truck models. Furthermore, the typical driver of a truck has always had the mindset of holding onto that vehicle for a long period of time, and truck technology is now advancing and refreshing more frequently, giving rise to the number of drivers who wish to upgrade every few years."
