According to fresh sales data, most Americans buy their pickup trucks from Ford and their cars and SUVs from Toyota. Where did everyone else rank? Let’s take a closer look.
Trucks
The best-selling truck of 2019 was the Ford F-Series. Ram snatched away the second place trophy from Chevrolet, outselling them by around 63,000 vehicles. Chevy is already preparing to put up a stronger fight in 2020 with announcements of added production capacity at their plants to meet demand for the redesigned Silverado lineup.
The Nissan Titan and Honda Ridgeline didn’t make it into the top 10 but the new Jeep Gladiator and Ford Ranger did.

Cars
The usual suspects make up the top four in this category: Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla, Honda Accord, and Honda Civic. Then, it gets more interesting. There are three entries from Nissan (Altima, Versa, and Sentra) and Kia (Soul, Optima, and Forte). A Tesla makes the list and so does a Volkswagen. Hyundai, Dodge, and Ford models also sold well.

SUVs
Whether it’s a crossover or a true sport utility vehicle (or somewhere in-between), if it sold over 127,372 models in 2019, it’s on this list. Toyota once again reigns supreme with its RAV4, boosted by its recent redesign. The Honda CR-V came in a distant second but the battle for third and fourth place between the Nissan Rogue and Chevrolet Equinox was tighter than many expected. And, despite having a new model launch at the end of the year, the Ford Escape slipped out of the top 5.
