40 Years In A Row Of Being The Best Selling Car In America Are Over

  • Toyota’s RAV4 was the best-selling individual model in 2024, Jato Dynamics data shows.
  • The RAV’s ascent to P1 ended the Ford F-150’s four-decade run at the top of the table.
  • RAV4 sales grew 9 percent even though a successor is due; F-150 dropped 5 percent.

Presidents come and go, and gas prices ebb and flow, but for over 40 years there’s one thing Americans have been able to rely on, and it’s that the Ford F-150 is the country’s favorite vehicle. But that tradition ended in 2024, when The Toyota RAV4 knocked the F-150 off the top spot, industry figures show.

F-150 sales dropped 5 percent to 460,915 last year, according to data from Jato Dynamics, while Toyota RAV4 registrations increased by 9 percent to 475,193. The RAV has been snapping at the F-150’s heels for several years, but it’s never managed to topple it before. When the F-Series was crowned best selling vehicle in 2023, it was the 42nd time the Blue Oval truck had achieved the feat.
