If you need clear evidence that American car-buying preferences rarely stray from their familiar orbit, the 2025 sales rankings provide the answer. Pickup trucks and SUVs once again dominated the top 10 best-selling vehicles in the U.S. last year, while traditional sedans continued to lose their appeal. For electric vehicles, only two models made it into the top 25, both bearing the Tesla brand.

Top 10 Best-Selling Vehicles in the U.S. 2025: Pickup Trucks Dominate Half the List
According to Car and Driver, the Ford F-Series continues its dominance at the top spot. This pickup truck line achieved cumulative sales of 801,525 units in the U.S. market in 2025, a 9.5% increase from 2024. Additionally, the number of Ford F-Series vehicles delivered to Americans last year was nearly 230,000 more than its closest competitor.
The Ford F-Series remains the “sales king” in the U.S. market for 2025.
Second place goes to the Chevrolet Silverado, with 577,434 units sold, a 4.5% increase, consistently trailing the Ford F-Series. However, when combining the sales of the Chevrolet Silverado with its “sibling” GMC Sierra, General Motors actually sold more full-size pickup trucks than Ford. The combined sales of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra in 2025 in the U.S. market reached 925,656 units, approximately 120,000 more than the Ford F-Series.
Ignoring brand consolidation and focusing on individual models, the Toyota RAV4 maintains its position as the best-selling SUV in America. With 479,288 units delivered last year, a slight 0.9% increase, the RAV4 is expected to sustain its growth momentum as the new generation has officially launched.
Right behind the Toyota RAV4 is the Honda CR-V in fourth place, with 403,768 units sold, nearly flat with a 0.2% increase. The Ram 1500 ranks fifth with 374,059 units delivered, virtually unchanged from 2024. The GMC Sierra takes sixth place with 348,222 units sold, a 7.8% growth.
The Toyota RAV4 is the best-selling SUV in the U.S. for 2025.
The Tesla Model Y holds the seventh position, retaining its title as the best-selling electric vehicle in the U.S. with approximately 317,800 units sold. However, this figure reflects a 15% decline compared to 2024. The only other electric vehicle in the top 25 best-selling vehicles in the U.S. for 2025 is the Tesla Model 3, ranking 21st with 172,800 units, a 9% decrease.
In total, only 4 out of the 25 best-selling vehicles in the U.S. market in 2025 are pure sedans, including the Tesla Model 3. The Toyota Camry remains America’s best-selling sedan, ranking eighth with 316,185 units, a slight 2% increase year-over-year.
Closely following are two familiar compact sedans. The Toyota Corolla ranks 11th with 248,088 units, a 6.5% increase. Meanwhile, the Honda Civic takes 12th place with 238,661 units finding new owners, a 1.4% decrease.
Rounding out the top 10 are the midsize pickup Toyota Tacoma and the compact SUV Chevrolet Equinox with nearly identical sales figures. The Toyota Tacoma achieved 274,638 units, a robust 42.4% increase, while the Chevrolet Equinox recorded 274,356 units and a 32.1% growth.
