According to iSeeCars, a company that analyzed data on over 9.8 million one-to-five-year-old vehicles on the road in 2022, the Ford F-Series (F-150) maintained its position as the top-selling used car, followed by the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 pickups.
This year, the Jeep Grand Cherokee made its way into the top 10, while the Honda Civic, a long-time bestseller, ensured that traditional cars were still in demand. Despite supply chain challenges and new car shortages driving up the prices of used vehicles, these issues did not seem to affect which models were the most popular among buyers.
The ever-popular Ford F-Series (F-150) remained atop the used car bestsellers list in 2022, followed by the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 pickups, confirming ongoing high demand for full-size trucks on the secondary market. “With more than 8% of the used car market occupied by the F-150, Silverado and Ram pickup there’s no denying America’s love affair with the trucks, despite their relatively low MPG numbers and the higher fuel prices we experienced in 2022,” said Karl Brauer, iSeeCars Executive Analyst.
Beyond full-size trucks, the Chevy Equinox, Honda Civic, Toyota Camry, and Toyota RAV4 also make the best-selling models list. Two additional compact crossovers, the Nissan Rogue and Ford Escape, maintained their top 10 rankings from last year, while the Jeep Grand Cherokee broke into the top 10 rankings for the first time, climbing from 12 to in 2022. “Buyers continue to prioritize the utility and flexibility offered by SUVs,” said Brauer. “Second only to full-size trucks, the compact crossovers have become the most sought after vehicle in the U.S., as reflected in our most popular list.”
