The Ford F-150 pickup truck is no longer America's top selling vehicle according to a new Forbes report citing data from automotive data and analysis from JATO Dynamics.
After 40 years at the top of the list, Forbes states data from JATO Dynamics shows the Toyota RAV 4 is the new top-selling vehicle in the United States. The SUV sold 475,193 units in 2024, topping Ford F-150's 460,915 units sold. The swap reflects an increase of 9% in sales for the RAV 4 compared to a decrease of 5% of the popular pickup.
The Honda CRV ranked third in sales, followed by the Tesla Model Y, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla, Nissan Rogue, Honda Civic, and GMC Sierra 1500 rounding out the top ten per JATO Dynamics data.
Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) shares sold for about $25 apiece in early 2022. Recently, they dropped near their 52-week low of $9.10. What was a promising move into electric vehicles (EVs) has turned out to be multi-billion-dollar losses. Its sales and profits in China, the world’s largest car market, are shaky. CEO Jim Farley said, “So far, what we’re seeing is a lot of cost and a lot of chaos,” referring to tariffs and the new administration’s plans to help U.S. manufacturers.

With most Toyota’s manufactured here in the USA, it’s possible that Toyota will weather any coming tariffs better than Ford. That’s before you take into account the fact that it just stole Ford’s top spot.
So make sure you keep an eye on Toyota... It looks like there’s a new “king of vehicles” in America ( with a Japanese name too ).
RAV 4 is an SUV, not a pick-up truck.....................
When you get too big they come for you… Bud Lite.
How about an electric F-150 pickup on the lot for a $85,000? Be assured the truck will on the lot...for a long time.
Only 3 cars in the top ten. Camry, Corolla and Civic.
The Toyota RAV 4 is about 10K cheaper.
NONE of these autos are worth anywhere near the (insane) asking price.
Exactly. Comparing oranges and apples.
The only three vehicles you could solidly bet on getting 200K miles out of with no major issues.
Damned if a person should have to pay for anything other than oil, tires, and gas for the first 20 years or 200K miles of a vehicle unless the designer and builders are rip-offs.
My last cars: Mitsubishi Mirage 297K, Honda CRV 302K, current Corolla- only issue for ANY of these, covering the last 35 years, was one transmission replacement at 200K for the CRV.
The F150 isn’t bad, but good luck getting 300K with no issues from what I’ve seen
The article did say “America’s top selling vehicle”. The F150 was the top selling vehicle (including SUVs, sedans etc.) and was reported as such, now it is the Toyota.
Ford let the government into its manufacturing plans in terms if cash and production, and it only took three years to destroy Ford.
Finally, we can see what government is good at!
Read the headline, then the first sentence again.
Toyota all the way.
Fake news. The sales total each year are for the entire f-series line, not just the 150. The f series line sold all over 700k in 2024.
It’ll be interesting to see if American cars start selling better overseas if Trump is able to whittle down other countries’ tariffs on our products (i.e. India agreeing to lower tariffs on American cars from the sky high 70% they were charging).
But as For Top selling TRUCKS.???
I'm interested, my FRiend, how so?
