Well, Kelly Blue Book has released income figures for nan best-selling cars truthful acold this year. After looking astatine those figures astatine length, we're happy to study that group are still buying cars (how's that for in-depth information analysis?). And nan 5 top-selling vehicles are Ford F-Series, Chevy Colorado, Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Dodge Ram.

You whitethorn person noticed a pattern. Three retired of those 5 cars are not cars astatine all, but pickups. Why person pickup trucks been dominating U.S. sales for years? CBS looked into nan fame of trucks successful nan U.S. and concluded it's a operation of utility, looking cool, coveting thy neighbor's truck, and 'murica. In different words, they don't know, either. We get it, though, pickups are cool. After all, they are useful, nosy to drive, and usually beautiful comfortable, too. We deliberation pickups are great. However, judging from really often we spot F-250s and Silverado 2500s inadvertently taking up 2 parking spots astatine nan Piggly Wiggly because nan drivers don't cognize really to parkland straight, it's clear this full motortruck point has gotten retired of hand. But whether everyone who has a full-size motortruck should person a full-size motortruck is simply a taxable for different article.

Back to nan top-selling cars, rounding retired nan apical 10 are nan GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Equinox, Toyota Camry, Tesla Model Y, and Toyota Tacoma. So, 2 much trucks subordinate nan list. We deliberation it's absorbing that moreover though nan Model Y is successful nan apical 10, nan Cybertruck doesn't moreover break nan apical 20, contempt nan fame of pickups. Only 4 vehicles retired of nan apical 20 are what immoderate of america telephone "cars": Toyota Camry, Tesla Model Y, Toyota Corolla, and Tesla Model 3. The remainder are SUVs and pickup trucks. We Americans do emotion large vehicles.

The Dodge Ram is nan 3rd pickup motortruck connected nan database and nan fifth-best trading conveyance successful nan U.S. Or we should opportunity that nan Dodge Ram bid is nan fifth-best trading vehicle, since Kelly Blue Book's database lumps together nan 1500, 2500, and 3500, conscionable for illustration it does pinch nan F-150 and nan Super Duty models, arsenic good arsenic nan Silverado and nan HD (Heavy Duty) models. We're wondering if that gives pickups an unfair advantage connected this list. It's not arsenic if nan Ram 1500 and 3500 are conscionable different trims of nan aforesaid vehicle. One tin tow a smaller boat, nan different tin tow a loaded fifth-wheel trailer.

Regardless, a speedy look astatine nan specs whitethorn thief explicate why nan Ram doesn't waste arsenic good arsenic nan F-Series aliases Silverado. The towing capacity of nan Ram 1500 maxes retired astatine 11,610 pounds and horsepower astatine 540, depending connected your prime of powertrain. Compare that to complete 13,000 pounds and 720 hp pinch nan F-150. 

That doesn't mean nan Ram 1500 isn't a coagulated truck, it's conscionable sewage immoderate stiff competition. But that intends that Ram trucks astir apt hit Ford and Chevy successful price, right? Not quite. The heavy-duty versions for each marque commencement astir $45,000, but nan Ram 1500 starts astatine $41,025, compared to only $39,330 for nan Ford F-150 and $36,900 for nan Silverado 1500. Still, Ram doesn't do truthful bad for itself. It is nan fifth-best trading conveyance successful nan U.S., aft all. 

Tailing intimately down nan Toyota RAV4 successful income is nan Honda CR-V. Like nan RAV4, location are state and hybrid versions of nan CR-V. The hybrid type gets 40 mpg successful nan metropolis and 34 mpg connected nan highway, but moreover nan state motor isn't excessively shabby, getting 34 mpg connected nan highway. Unlike nan RAV4, nan CR-V does not travel successful a plug-in gas/electric hybrid version. Instead, location is nan CR-V e:FCEV. The "FCEV" stands for "Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle". Basically, it tin tally arsenic a plug-in EV aliases make electrical powerfulness from its hydrogen substance cell. Of course, nary of that intends thing if you don't unrecorded successful nan authorities of California, wherever hydrogen fueling stations are a thing. Even Honda doesn't urge buying aliases leasing nan CR-V e:FCEV unless your location aliases activity zip codification is adjacent to a participating trader and hydrogen fueling stations.

That said, nan 2025 Honda CR-V was named to nan 2025 10 Best Trucks and SUV database by Car and Driver. The publication touted nan CR-V's rider room (an study seconded successful Consumer Reports' constitute up astir nan CR-V), soft handling, and businesslike performance. The RAV4 didn't make nan list. Aside from those things, location doesn't look to beryllium a batch that stands retired astir nan CR-V. 

Honda's merchandise webpage for it highlights things for illustration tile rails, nan hands-free tailgate, and dual chrome exhaust, a bully creation touch that astir group astir apt won't notice. The CR-V starts astatine $30,100 (going up to $30,920 for nan 2026 model). The hybrid type starts astatine $34,650, while nan e:FCEV will group you backmost astatine slightest $50,000. That seems for illustration a batch to salary for a conveyance that's fundamentally tethered to nan nearest hydrogen fueling station.

The Toyota RAV4 is nan third-best trading conveyance successful nan U.S., and America's best-selling vehicle that isn't a pickup. The mini SUV comes successful your prime of gas-driven, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid — that's until nan 2026, wherever it will beryllium hybrid-only. The hybrid tin get up to 39 mpg, and nan plug-in hybrid gets 38 mpg successful state mode, and rated astatine 94 mpge successful electrical mode. "MPGe" stands for "Miles Per Gallon Equivalent," which is nan metric nan EPA uses to specify really acold an electrified car tin spell connected nan power balanced (33.7 kWh) to a gallon of gas.

All-wheel thrust is disposable connected nan RAV4, which boasts 8.6 inches of crushed clearance. The AWD state versions characteristic "Multi-Terrain Select" pinch 4 modes: Mud & Sand, Rock & Dirt, Snow, and Normal. It besides comes modular pinch multi-link rear suspension. Drivers tin opt for a panoramic solid tile and features for illustration beforehand and rear parking assistance pinch automatic braking and nan panoramic position monitor, which gives you a bird's-eye position of your conveyance and its surroundings.

But nan existent tie for nan RAV4 mightiness beryllium nan price. The state exemplary starts astatine $29,800, not precisely bargain-basement, but not bad for what this conveyance offers, successful our opinion. Even nan hybrid type doesn't break $40,000 until you get to nan highest-tier trim. The plug-in hybrid is much expensive, of course, starting astatine $44,815.

The Chevy Silverado falls a distant 2nd down nan Ford F-Series trucks. However, nan Silverado and nan GMC Sierra are some GM products built connected nan nonstop aforesaid platform. If you adhd their income figures together (284,000 + 169,200), they hit F-Series income by a lot. Kelly Blue Book noticed nan aforesaid thing. It makes you wonderment if nan Silverado would hit nan F-Series if nan Sierra wasn't connected nan market.

The 2500 offers towing and payload figures that are adjacent to those of nan F-150. It tin tow up to 13,300 pounds and haul up to 2,260 pounds of cargo. It starts a mates of thousands nether nan F-150 astatine $36,900. Of course, those towing and payload specs spell up if you opt for nan Silverado HD (2500 and 3500). Towing capacity for nan Silverado HD maxes retired astatine 36,000 pounds and payload capacity astatine 7,237 pounds, pinch maximum torque of 975 lb-ft. All of those numbers autumn a small short of nan Ford F-Series.

Even so, nan Silverado did triumph some nan 2025 J.D. Power grant for America's #1 Full-Size Pickup for Initial Quality and nan 1 for America's Most Dependable Full-Size Pickup. It besides gets nan champion successful people road substance system (28 mpg) erstwhile equipped pinch nan Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel, 1 of 4 motor options for nan Silverado. The different 3 options are nan 310 HP TurboMax engine, nan 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, and nan 6.2L EcoTec3 V8. Chevy's trading for nan Silverado seems to beryllium each astir business. The merchandise webpage emphasizes features for illustration nan 14 disposable camera views that thief pinch towing, nan car locking beforehand and rear differential, and nan functionality of its bed. In different words, this motortruck is each business.

Oh, look, different pickup. The Ford F-Series has been nan best-selling pickup for 40 years. According to Ford's CEO, Jim Farley, nan only merchandise that is much valuable by gross is nan iPhone, which makes consciousness since they person truthful overmuch successful common. For example, they're some excessively large to fresh successful your pouch astatine this point. But nan caller Ford F-Series has a batch to offer. If you get a Super Duty models pinch nan 6.7L High Output Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel B20, you tin expect 1,200 lb-ft of torque. The Super Duty tin besides supply you pinch a 40,000-pound towing capacity, much than immoderate motortruck successful history, and up to 8,000 pounds of payload.

All of that is awesome if you're towing a trailer pinch a mini-excavator connected it. But, let's beryllium honest, folks, that's a small overkill for astir of our needs. An F-150 tin tow up to 13,500 pounds, depending connected nan configuration, which is much than capable to tow a vessel retired to nan reservoir connected nan weekend. The F-150 offers up to 2,444 pounds of payload and up to 640 lb-ft of torque, which is, again, rather capable for astir of us. 

Ford's merchandise webpage for nan F-150 boasts it tin "establish thoroughfare power pinch civilization gloss achromatic wheels, striking grille situation and ray bar, chopped crushed effects." So, plentifulness of features for those who don't really request a full-size truck. We uncertainty those civilization achromatic wheels are going to do you overmuch bully towing a hay trailer connected nan farm. As acold arsenic nan remainder of Kelly Blue Book's database goes — it's beautiful clear that we emotion our trucks and SUVs successful nan U.S.A. We uncertainty that will alteration immoderate clip soon.
