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.

My Age, In Pictures

We played war in the streets, along with baseball, football and I drove those cars thousands of miles in the sandbox. We actually learned things rather than looking it up on a phone. Common sense was far more available to us than it is to the snowflakes.

The cars today are driving computers, but you can’t work on them yourself, you need to plug it in to tell you what is wrong. I miss the smooth sound of a V-12, or the deep throated sound of a V-8 in a pony car.

I’ll leave the girls alone other than it was a more genuine look, but our music was way better that what you hear today.

Introvert Driving

I get to make a long drive today. This is what it’s going to look like in feeling except I’m alone. I first thought that this guy was by himself, but I’ll pretend it’s his dog, who would probably be a helluva lot more quiet.

FWIW, I’m looking to get another truck after I’m through with my current car. I’ve enjoyed them every time I’ve owned one. You get to sit up high and see everything. You are also further away from others that way.

The partner next to me today will be no one. My company is an audible book. The title is Algorithm’s to live by, by Brian Christian. It is mind blowingly complex thinking, but really helps you in life and will turn your mind internally by a mile.

I do get to see the rest of my family and dog when I get there and look forward to it. I love them, but being alone lets me re-charge my social energy.
