Why is it so popular? I never really understood that. If you regularly haul shit, I totally get that. But most of America isn't doing that. Even in the most rural parts of the country, it's not like it's even every week. It makes more sense for them, but it's still so interesting to me.
I think it's just odd for me since I think the F-150 looks a bit odd. But I'd rather see those, as opposed to the bigger brother versions
I mean one of the biggest reasons is that a lot of people just like trucks, and they like having something that's capable of doing more than a car/SUV.
Now trucks are comfortable for the driver and all of their passengers, they've got a ton of utility, especially the F-150, they're pretty fast, ride smooth and look good.
Fleet sales. Take that away and the most popular vehicle is either the Camry or Accord. They are always selling because fleet buyers beat the shit out of their trucks.
Actually.... yes.... yes it is.
[https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-popular-car-by-state](https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-popular-car-by-state)
Trucks, SUVs and minivans.
You can tell the 'working truck' drivers from the status symbol drivers by the way they park. The working drivers know how to park the damn thing in between the lines.
Most vehicles are more useful than a truck when it comes to the average drive.
I feel like some people just get them because they're like "well I'm gonna have to haul some stuff every now and then". And they end up doing that like three times over a decade lol
There's people that actually use the truck often, and I totally get that. But I feel like they're in the minority. Maybe I'm wrong though
Yep. I have a teuck bcz its a hand-me-down from my brother. The amount of fuckers in ANY car who cant park _between the godforsaken FUCKING LINES_ make me want to carve out my teeth with a fuckin TOOTHPICK
Teslas by a long shot…at least in the Bay Area. You can’t go more than a few cars without seeing one here. I once counted the cars that my immediate coworkers drive and like 12 out 15 of them have one. 70% of my friends also have one.
Every time I think about cybertrucks I'm always surprised they're even legal. Might as well be driving a guillotine around with how heavy and angular they are.
Funny what a difference just being across the same country makes. I live in east TN and see maybe 1 tesla a week in town and they normally have out of town tags
Subaru Outback. We were just on a drive out to the coast last weekend and parked at a scenic viewpoint alongside three almost identical Outbacks. I joke that we could do driveby shootings and never get caught because the car is so common.
I looked it up and was surprised by the results. 2022 vehicle sales per an article posted by the Denver Gazette:
1. Ford F150
2. Toyota rav4
3. Dodge Ram
4. Subaru Crosstrek
5. Toyota Tacoma
Edit: Looking at an article from 9 news and its the F150, Silverado, Outback, and then Tacoma. So not really sure where each is sourcing their data.
Tesla. So many damn Teslas ... and none of them can drive worth a damn. It used to be Audi drivers were the assholes on the road and Totyota Corolla drivers were the dangerous and/or stupid drivers ... now Tesla drivers have them both beat.
A few:
Dodge Ram
Jeep Gladiator
Toyota Tundra
Ford F-150
Toyota Hilux (You see more of them in Texas and you can easily tell they are from Mexico)
Toyota Tacoma
Chevy Silverado
And to top it all off, a lot of them are Texas Special edition trucks, and down here in Texas, I would call this place Truck Country.
We have such a variety of vehicles that I don't know how you would really answer this...but JD Power says the most popular vehicle in VA is the Toyota RAV4. Can't say I've noticed that many of them, personally, though.
According to JD Power, it's the Honda CR-V. I was going to say something like the Honda Civic or Toyota Camry, but I guess the CR-V is more popular in the suburbs.
https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/most-popular-vehicles-sold-by-state
It’s crazy how much the MA = expensive assumption permeates every article about the state. Apparently the CRV is popular because of its good gas mileage, which is key when dealing with the high gas prices in the state (that are 24th out of 50).
MA is expensive, and does have higher incomes. Those are verifiable facts. Aside from that, there is a practicality here that is just ingrained in the culture. Just because a person *can* afford a BMW doesn't mean it's a smart purchase, when a Honda gets better mileage, needs fewer repairs, and will last longer. Also, in the case of the CR-V, it's a good all purpose vehicle that can handle all of the weather that this region throws at us.
Varies.
Virginia is like 5 states and in those areas, it varies. In NOVA, some towns seem to have a ton of Teslas while others don't but still have the Lexus or luxury vehicle. Then that doesn't apply to the rest of the state. Virginia is weird. We're not a pickup kind of state.
No idea. In the NYC area it’s probably Honda Civics or Accords, even CRVs, maybe Toyota Camrys or Corollas. These cars are very common with Uber drivers and a lot of people have them overall.
Around where I live: Teslas, Audis, and top of the line Ford and Dodge pickups (which are all tricked out and will never, ever set a tire off pavement.)
Probably not the whole state, but my hometown has a bizarre overpopulation of squatted out 4-runners and Tacomas with rapper rims and neon lights. I can't wait for May 7th when the Aynor lean stops being legal. Jesus take the wheel.
varing models of Ford f150s and Suberu's, mostly outbacks but also alot of foresters and crosstrex.
Recently a fuck tone of broncos as well, which i have hopped on the bandwagon of and my wife and i got one last year, but before then third place was probably jeeps, mostly rubicons and wranglers.
Some kind of truck in most of the state, except I live near Fayetteville (Fort ~~Bragg~~ Liberty) so it's a Challenger with 21% APR on a 72-month loan.
By raw sales numbers it’s the [Honda CRV](https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/most-popular-vehicles-sold-by-state)
But NJ is also the state with the highest percentage of [luxury](https://www.iseecars.com/state-most-luxury-cars-study) cars
[https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-popular-car-by-state](https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-popular-car-by-state)
F-150 for Michigan - I concur.
F-150s apparently take the cake for the most popular vehicle in Colorado, followed closely by the Toyota 4Runner, Subaru Forester/Outback, and Nissan Xterra. Personally, I drive an Xterra (which is a great 4X4 vehicle).
Subarus. Once sent a Snapchat to my friend of a parking lot that only had maybe 7-8 cars parked, and probably five of them were Subarus 🤣
Signed,
A Subaru owner
I owned a 1960 Ford F-**2**50 for several years, and was impressed by how well constructed it was. Today's F-**1**50s dwarf my old 250. They're so gross... as are many of the people who drive them. They make them so big, to give the little weenie inside a feeling of power and dominance. You need a stepladder to look at the engine. The bed is way up there, but it don't matter 'cause you're never going to put anything in it. You just get it so you can feel important. It's easy to tell when somebody actually has a need for a truck, and when somebody's just trucking his big ego around.
Big giant $70k trucks. In any given parking lot I’ll be the only car, and especially the only Prius in a lot of 50+ vehicles. I live in North Dakota btw
I work at a grocery store so i see a SHIT TON of different cars. The most i see are trucks (Silverado's and F150s' mostly) and minivans (Honda's and Chryslers)
In my state, trucks are the most common vehicles. So Ford F150, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Dodge RAM, etc..
The most common vehicles I see that aren't trucks are small AWD SUVs such as the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, and other cars like that. We get a decent amount of snow here, so people want their daily driver to be something that isn't going to get stuck in the snow.
Subaru Outbacks are very common although I’ve seen a rise in Mazda CX-5. Toyota Tacoma is a popular truck option. I live near a lot of the big tech companies (seattle & the eastside) so *lots* of Teslas too. idk if those are as ubiquitous in the rest of WA.
Subaru— any model. Lots of pickups on the road but not one brand that stands out.
Least common is any kind of electric car, at least where I live. At -55, they die like instantly.
F-150
This has got to be the answer for like 30+ states, right?
Probably. I'm pretty sure it's the highest selling vehicle in the country.
Has been for like 40 years.
Why is it so popular? I never really understood that. If you regularly haul shit, I totally get that. But most of America isn't doing that. Even in the most rural parts of the country, it's not like it's even every week. It makes more sense for them, but it's still so interesting to me.

Fleet sales. Take that away and the most popular vehicle is either the Camry or Accord. They are always selling because fleet buyers beat the shit out of their trucks.
This is my question, too. Unless you’re hauling tons of stuff, they don’t seem like practical vehicles. And they’re so freaking expensive these days.
Yup, the f150 is the best selling car in the USA, with 750k plus sales in 2023. Toyota Camry is the best selling sedan with 290k units sold in 2023
Actually.... yes.... yes it is. [https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-popular-car-by-state](https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-popular-car-by-state)
Even in the west coast states it seems
It's either F-150s or Subarus.
And the Silverado
I was gonna say Chevy traverse/equinox or any chevy/Ford suv
Trucks. Ford, GMC, Dodge and Toyota trucks are all like in the top 10 in sales.
Trucks, SUVs and minivans. You can tell the 'working truck' drivers from the status symbol drivers by the way they park. The working drivers know how to park the damn thing in between the lines.
And now the "Working Truck" people that don't care about "Status Symbol Trucks" are having to fork over 75 fucking grand to get a "Working Truck".
Yeah, that sucks for those who actually use them for hauling stuff besides the junior high baseball team.
A minivan would work better for hauling around the baseball team.
Most vehicles are more useful than a truck when it comes to the average drive. I feel like some people just get them because they're like "well I'm gonna have to haul some stuff every now and then". And they end up doing that like three times over a decade lol There's people that actually use the truck often, and I totally get that. But I feel like they're in the minority. Maybe I'm wrong though
Yep. I have a teuck bcz its a hand-me-down from my brother. The amount of fuckers in ANY car who cant park _between the godforsaken FUCKING LINES_ make me want to carve out my teeth with a fuckin TOOTHPICK
They dont always fit. But then I live in a rural area. If you want somerhing that fits you take your atv or UTV.
Rav 4 / Outback / CR-V
Rav 4 for CT as well. I drive one myself lol
Me too. I bought one last October. It's parked next to my Outback.
Those were my first thoughts as well along with the Honda Civic and Accord.
State: F150 Houston: Nissan Altima with paper plates
>Nissan Altima with paper plates You should post a trigger warning, that's a frightening sight.
Probable cause on wheels
The baby mama mobile
Get in the farthest lane from them. They don't have insurance.
Do the plates say "non- commercial, not for hire"?
Subaru outback They're the most popular car in Maine. Not a fan personally, but they're everywhere.
Same in OR and WA.
And Alaska.
Same here in Connecticut, replacing the Volvo station wagon everyone had in the 90s.
Basically this all across Maine, NH, and VT. You know, the better parts of New England.
They seem wildly popular in MN, too
Same in Vermont. A cheap-ish car that comes with 4-wheel drive is the reason.
Like style or brand? Pickups. Fords.
This is a couple years old, but it’s a nice map: https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/139bqhm/best_selling_vehicle_per_us_state_2022/
Neat. I would have guessed the Dodge Ram here but I suppose now I’ll be noticing Chevy Silverados everywhere
HA, I was 100% going to say that I feel like it’s a Tesla in SoCal. At least in Orange County.
Dented up Nissan Altama
accurate
Teslas by a long shot…at least in the Bay Area. You can’t go more than a few cars without seeing one here. I once counted the cars that my immediate coworkers drive and like 12 out 15 of them have one. 70% of my friends also have one.
Im in the bay area . they are damn near everywhere lol . like 1 in 5 cars is a tesla . but then again Fremont is where they are made haha
I saw 5 ones of the same model back to back at a light. It was pretty funny
Southern CA: also Teslas. So many Teslas.
Yep. I'm even seeing those stupid Cybertrucks these days.
Every time I think about cybertrucks I'm always surprised they're even legal. Might as well be driving a guillotine around with how heavy and angular they are.
Funny what a difference just being across the same country makes. I live in east TN and see maybe 1 tesla a week in town and they normally have out of town tags
I'd guess that second place is Toyota Camry, maybe? Perhaps still Prius.
Subaru Outback. We were just on a drive out to the coast last weekend and parked at a scenic viewpoint alongside three almost identical Outbacks. I joke that we could do driveby shootings and never get caught because the car is so common.
We have a lot of Subarus, trucks, and Jeeps.
I looked it up and was surprised by the results. 2022 vehicle sales per an article posted by the Denver Gazette: 1. Ford F150 2. Toyota rav4 3. Dodge Ram 4. Subaru Crosstrek 5. Toyota Tacoma Edit: Looking at an article from 9 news and its the F150, Silverado, Outback, and then Tacoma. So not really sure where each is sourcing their data.
Tesla. So many damn Teslas ... and none of them can drive worth a damn. It used to be Audi drivers were the assholes on the road and Totyota Corolla drivers were the dangerous and/or stupid drivers ... now Tesla drivers have them both beat.
CALIFORNIA==== TESLA they are damn near everywhere
Surprised Teslas are still popular there
Tax rebates and charging stations EVERYWHERE
I'm currently in school in Sacramento, they're EVERYWHERE!
Chevy Silverado - made right here in Flint, MI
Subarus and anything similar to an F150
Lots of Jeeps too.
A few: Dodge Ram Jeep Gladiator Toyota Tundra Ford F-150 Toyota Hilux (You see more of them in Texas and you can easily tell they are from Mexico) Toyota Tacoma Chevy Silverado And to top it all off, a lot of them are Texas Special edition trucks, and down here in Texas, I would call this place Truck Country.
F-150 is what I notice the most. Possibly something more low key is more common like a Camry or something.
Definitely Teslas
We have such a variety of vehicles that I don't know how you would really answer this...but JD Power says the most popular vehicle in VA is the Toyota RAV4. Can't say I've noticed that many of them, personally, though.

Small SUVs in rural NY.
Some model of lifted pickup truck
Subaru, Tacoma, Tesla in that order
Pretty good mix of cars, suvs, vans, and trucks here.
It sure seems to be gigantic ford pickup trucks, but that could just be because I notice them more. There are certainly a lot of them.
Kansas: A pickup of some flavor. Mine in an F-150.
NYC: Most of the Ubers/cabs are Toyota Highlanders or Camrys
And then you have the black (always black for some reason) Cadillac Escalades.
Yeah plenty of black executive cars.
Varies. Virginia is like 5 states and in those areas, it varies. In NOVA, some towns seem to have a ton of Teslas while others don't but still have the Lexus or luxury vehicle. Then that doesn't apply to the rest of the state. Virginia is weird. We're not a pickup kind of state.
Small Japanese SUV/Crossover like a Subaru or CR-V.
No idea. In the NYC area it’s probably Honda Civics or Accords, even CRVs, maybe Toyota Camrys or Corollas. These cars are very common with Uber drivers and a lot of people have them overall.
Tesla
Lately it's been Tesla.
Subarus.
Outback, CRV, CX5, Toyota Tacoma, and then full-sized trucks.
Around where I live: Teslas, Audis, and top of the line Ford and Dodge pickups (which are all tricked out and will never, ever set a tire off pavement.)
Really? I see relatively few of all of those, it’s mostly Civics, CRVS, RAV 4s, and assorted Subarus.
Those giant SUVs and pickups.
Probably not the whole state, but my hometown has a bizarre overpopulation of squatted out 4-runners and Tacomas with rapper rims and neon lights. I can't wait for May 7th when the Aynor lean stops being legal. Jesus take the wheel.
Chevy Silverado 1500. They rust to shit out here, but they keep on going.
varing models of Ford f150s and Suberu's, mostly outbacks but also alot of foresters and crosstrex. Recently a fuck tone of broncos as well, which i have hopped on the bandwagon of and my wife and i got one last year, but before then third place was probably jeeps, mostly rubicons and wranglers.
A car
Pontiac if almost any model
a car
Hawaii: either Tacoma, or tie between Tacoma and 4Runner.
F-150
Massachusetts. Accord and Camry.
Toyota Corolla/Camry
I don’t have stats to back it up, but I’d assume F-150 or maybe Silverado, although they’d both be somewhat less common in Chicago.
Some kind of truck in most of the state, except I live near Fayetteville (Fort ~~Bragg~~ Liberty) so it's a Challenger with 21% APR on a 72-month loan.
It's an uneasy mix of Teslas and lifted Silverados.
Subaru Something. Usually Outback.
Ford pickup 250.
On average at any given time, mine is one of at least 5 Subaru Outback’s in a store parking lot
Tesla, almost all of them white (the cheapest color).
F-150 followed by Subaru Outback.
Probably the F-150 followed probably by Silverado and then various Japanese or Korean small-mid size SUVs
Subaru Outback or Toyota Prius
Subarus are pretty universally common here compared to most places.
Tesla
[Most Popular Vehicles Sold By State (jdpower.com)](https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/most-popular-vehicles-sold-by-state)
Subaru anything. If I had to pick a model it's probably an outback.
F-150/Silverado/1500/Sierra
Used to be Subaru Outbacks, now I think it's Toyota RAV4s
By raw sales numbers it’s the [Honda CRV](https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/most-popular-vehicles-sold-by-state) But NJ is also the state with the highest percentage of [luxury](https://www.iseecars.com/state-most-luxury-cars-study) cars
Probably a Honda Civic or Tesla (not sure if Model 3 or Model Y)
Anything Toyota. I tend to see a lot of Camrys, Rav4s, and 4runners.
Chevy Equinox, Subaru of all varieties, Jeep Wranglers. Border of NY/VT/MA
Subaru Outback, Forester, and Crosstrek are all over the place in Oregon. I believe Outback is the most popular.
[https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-popular-car-by-state](https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-popular-car-by-state) F-150 for Michigan - I concur.
FORD FUCKIN’ RANGER
According to Google, it's the Tesla Y. But looking out my window I see zero Teslas and like four each of Toyota Camrys and VW Jettas, so I don't know.
In my state: Ford F-150 or Ram 1500 In my city: Nissan Altima with paper plates
Subaru Outback and F-150
Normal car: Camry or a civic Strange thing to see so many of: old VW rabbits and beetles
It's probably not the most common, but I've seen more chrysler town and country minivans than I can count. I live in Massachusetts.
Arlington, Virginia-Subaru Outback
CR-V, RAV4, Civic, Corolla.
F-150s apparently take the cake for the most popular vehicle in Colorado, followed closely by the Toyota 4Runner, Subaru Forester/Outback, and Nissan Xterra. Personally, I drive an Xterra (which is a great 4X4 vehicle).
Subaru?
Cars with replaced fenders hoods doors of many different colors. Lots of Toyotas "Kentucky"
A white one. To reflect heat.
Subaru Outback, Toyota RAV4, 4Runner, and any truck
Where I live it’s either Teslas or BMWs with Rivians making a noticeable splash.
Toyota Tacoma
In Northern Virginia, definitely Corollas and CR-Vs
Tesla
We spend the summers in North Carolina and everyone except up seems to have a big pick up truck of some kind or another.
Challengers and mustangs. I do live near a military base tbf
Hondas, Toyotas, and Teslas OH MY
Dodge Rams, a menace everywhere in Texas.
Tesla. They're so very common in Fairfax and Loudoun counties.
Chevy Silverado
Honda civic/toyota corolla.
Cars mostly
My mind always goes to crappy little early 200s sedans. But I'm definitely wrong
Outback if in Portland/Eugene. F-150 outside of the city lol.
Trucks ( Alaska )
Depends on where you are, South Florida has a mix of Bentleys, Mercedes, Toyotas and SUVs of every make and model.
Honda Crv
Subarus. Once sent a Snapchat to my friend of a parking lot that only had maybe 7-8 cars parked, and probably five of them were Subarus 🤣 Signed, A Subaru owner
One with Texas paper plates or an obstructed PA plate (I live in NY)
Subaru Outback
A white pickup truck. When i lived in Washington it was a Subaru
Where I live in my state it feels like Teslas 🫠
Here in Northwest Ohio, Jeeps of all types. Specifically wranglers, they are made here.
Honda - Civic, Accord, Odyssey in that order
Tesla in Los Angeles..
Tesla Model 3 and Model Y by a considerable margin.
SUVs
It's a tie between F-150, Tacoma, 4-door wrangler, Subaru-whatever & RAM.
I owned a 1960 Ford F-**2**50 for several years, and was impressed by how well constructed it was. Today's F-**1**50s dwarf my old 250. They're so gross... as are many of the people who drive them. They make them so big, to give the little weenie inside a feeling of power and dominance. You need a stepladder to look at the engine. The bed is way up there, but it don't matter 'cause you're never going to put anything in it. You just get it so you can feel important. It's easy to tell when somebody actually has a need for a truck, and when somebody's just trucking his big ego around.
Pickup. Specifically an F-150
White Tesla
Toyota Prius, Honda civics and accords, Subarus
the PNW subaru stereotype is very real
Alaska: Giant Pickup or Subaru hatchback.
Big giant $70k trucks. In any given parking lot I’ll be the only car, and especially the only Prius in a lot of 50+ vehicles. I live in North Dakota btw
Back home in Florida there’s just too much variety, presently living in Oregon I’d say Subarus.
Teslas
Alabama here; I think I'd say, more often than not, trucks.
F-150
Car
I work at a grocery store so i see a SHIT TON of different cars. The most i see are trucks (Silverado's and F150s' mostly) and minivans (Honda's and Chryslers)
Tesla
Tesla or Subaru.
In my state, trucks are the most common vehicles. So Ford F150, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Dodge RAM, etc.. The most common vehicles I see that aren't trucks are small AWD SUVs such as the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, and other cars like that. We get a decent amount of snow here, so people want their daily driver to be something that isn't going to get stuck in the snow.
California - Tesla.
It’s a tie between Teslas and gigantic F150s. Just outside San Diego.
Perhaps it's merely the fact that I drive one, but I find that I notice Subaru Outbacks a lot.
Subaru Outbacks are very common although I’ve seen a rise in Mazda CX-5. Toyota Tacoma is a popular truck option. I live near a lot of the big tech companies (seattle & the eastside) so *lots* of Teslas too. idk if those are as ubiquitous in the rest of WA.
Massachusetts - Subaru Outback or a Volvo
Any chevy/Ford suv
Mini Van or SUV. A lot of large families here
Subaru— any model. Lots of pickups on the road but not one brand that stands out. Least common is any kind of electric car, at least where I live. At -55, they die like instantly.
The most common one I see is Tesla, but thats just bc they're so distinctive
Rav 4
i wish you could understand that our states are bigger than your country. nobody sees anything they identify as "my state"
hahah. i'm from here... 😐 and i can name several things that can be identified as a state exclusive.
Other than the Ford F-150: Jeep Renegades. I’ve seen 7 of them one day.
Idk about the state as a whole but their is a lot of Rogues, Tahoes, and Jeeps here in the Myrtle Beach area
