The Most Popular Vehicles in Every U.S. State For 2023

As we near the end of the year, it’s time to look back at some of the most common cars, trucks, and SUVs throughout the USA. As we all know preferences vary by state, and the most popular vehicles in one part of the country will be completely different in another. States that deal with a lot of agriculture will tend to possess more pickup trucks, while states with densely populated cities are more likely to own a sedan or SUV.

Using data compiled by WorldPopulationOnline.com, the website was able to determine the most popular vehicles by each U.S. state based on registered vehicles from individual citizens, and not from government bodies or rental purchases.

Overall, the most popular vehicle in the U.S. is the Ford F-150. The F-Series has been the top-selling truck in the United States for over four decades, and the automaker wears this achievement like a badge of honor. Many Americans have good use for a truck, especially for those living in rural areas that need it for work, hauling, and towing purposes, and the Ford F-150 is still the reigning champion.

Another reason why the F-150 is so popular is its balance of price, quality, range, and availability. This truck has been around so long that there are multiple trims and models available for customers of every driving style. From daily commuters to off-road enthusiasts, there is a strong chance there’s a F-150 with your name on it.
