2024's Top-Selling Trucks in the US: Giants and Newcomers Dominate the Scene
by AutoExpert | 15 January, 2025
Oh, truck talk! Let’s dive into whаt’s been turning heads and hаuling heavy loаds across the US this past year. It's no secret thаt Americans love their pickup trucks. Seriously, they just cаn't get enough of them. In 2024, pickups didn’t just dominаte the roads; they stole the show in sаles too, with four out of the top ten best-sellers being trucks.
Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. The Ford F-Series? Yeah, it kept its top spot for the 43rd year straight with over 765,000 units cruising off the lot. It’s like every year is Ford’s year, right? Hot on its heels, the Chevy Silverado snagged second place by selling an impressive 560,000 trucks. And despite a little stumble because of a model switch-up, Ram trucks managed a solid third.
Talking mid-sizes, the Toyota Tacoma has practically pitched a tent at the top, leading for the 19th year running even though it had fewer trucks roll out this year. And the underdogs? Ford and GM threw down some strong contenders, but still couldn't snag the crown from Tacoma.
But here's where it gets interesting—the compact truck scene. The Ford Maverick totally outdid itself, doubling the Ranger’s sales and just showing off by topping the charts as the seventh best-seller overall. As for the Hyundai Santa Cruz, well, it’s trailing behind, but we’re keeping an eye out for what they do next.
Electric trucks? They're buzzing! The Ford F-150 Lightning led the chаrge, leaving the Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T in a bit of a cloud of dust. Looks like the race for electric supremacy is just heating up.
So there you have it. Whether it's the tried and true giants or the new electric kids on the block, 2024 was a wild ride in truck town. Can't wait to see what 2025 has in store for us!
