The United States has maintained its decades-long love affair with small trucks, with Ford car sales topping the rankings for the forty-second year in a row in 2023, represented by its “F” truck, followed by the Chevrolet “Silverado” in second place, and then “Ram” in third place, with Toyota’s best-selling car, the “Rav-4”, enters the competition race in its broadest possible way.

The “Rav-4” compact crossover, which ranked fourth, succeeded in closing the sales gap further between it and the “Ram” pickup truck from Stellantis, to 10,000 units last year from about 133,000 in 2020. A growth of 8.8% in total sales. For the year 2023 compared to 2022 levels.

“Sales of the Toyota RAV4 showed that people want smaller, more affordable SUVs, and the fact that there is also a hybrid version has made it very popular with American consumers,” said Michelle Krebs, executive analyst at Cox Automotive.

While Evan Drury, from Edmunds, pointed out that the RAV4, as well as the Honda CR-V, which ranked sixth in sales, offer something completely different from traditional American pickups. They are small, economical vehicles that fit many Americans’ lifestyles and budgets, amid rising interest rates and economic uncertainty.

The Motor Intelligence report indicated that automakers sold 15.6 million vehicles in the United States in 2023, an increase of 12.3% over the previous year. This compares to more than 17 million cars sold in 2019, before the Corona virus pandemic turned the global car market upside down.
