Florida new car buyers prefer the Toyota Rav4, but Pickup Trucks Dominated Across the Country in 2021
Look at all those F-150s! Pickup trucks have dominated vehicle sales in the American market. The Ford F-150 has been America’s best-selling new vehicle for an astounding 40 years, and three additional pickup trucks are also among the top 10 best sellers. Pickup trucks are also popular with used car buyers, with pickups accounting for the top three best-selling used vehicles. A quick scan reveals, in general, that most city drivers prefer SUVs and 4-doors, while outside the city limits and in rural states, it’s big-time pickup country.
While pickup trucks dominate sales across the country, Florida’s favorite vehicle is a Toyota. So how do pickups rank against SUVs and crossovers in individual states? This data is based on a survey of more than 17.4 million vehicle sales of new cars by state for 2021.
