Ram's full-size pickup slid to fifth place in 2024, selling 373,120 units, marking a 16% decline. This slump coincided with the removal of the legendary Hemi V-8 engine, replaced by the twin-turbocharged Hurricane I-6. While the Hurricane outperforms the Hemi in power, fans are vocal on social media, expressing their dissatisfaction. Ram’s modest mid-cycle refresh also failed to impress, leaving enthusiasts hoping for the return of the V-8 in future models.

With 402,791 units sold, the Honda CR-V saw an impressive 11.4% increase in sales in 2024. This milestone reflects the vehicle's recent sixth-generation redesign, which emphasizes conservative yet appealing styling. Buyers are particularly drawn to the affordability of the CR-V, starting at just over $30,000 for base models. Meanwhile, the premium Sport Touring Hybrid variant, priced near $50,000, caters to those seeking luxury and performance. Honda’s commitment to versatility and value cements the CR-V’s position as a favorite in its segment.

The Toyota RAV4 retained its title as the best-selling SUV in America, with 475,193 units sold and a 9.3% increase from 2023. Despite being around since 2019 with minimal updates, its wide range of 13 trims, including two plug-in hybrids, gives buyers a plethora of options to suit their needs. From reliable performance to eco-conscious variants, the RAV4’s adaptability has ensured its continued dominance in the competitive SUV market.

Securing second place, the Chevrolet Silverado sold an impressive 542,517 units, maintaining a slight increase in sales by less than 1% in 2024. This full-size pickup remains a trusted workhorse, powered by 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V-8 engines that embody old-school reliability. While new hybrid powertrain options are anticipated, the Silverado’s traditional setup continues to appeal to drivers seeking rugged performance. Its recent refresh for the 2022 model year still resonates with fans, keeping it comfortably in second place.

Unsurprisingly, the Ford F-Series remains America’s best-selling vehicle, with a staggering 765,649 units sold in 2024. Sales improved by 2%, thanks to a strong fourth-quarter push and updates like a mid-cycle refresh for the F-150. Meanwhile, the Super Duty lineup, entering a new generation in 2023, continues to dominate the heavy-duty segment. Combining reliability, versatility, and performance, the F-Series remains the undisputed leader in the automotive world.
