The number one best selling vehicle last year was the Ford F-150. No big surprise there, right?
Dealers sold a total of 584,917 F-Series trucks in 2011, beating out the second-place Chevrolet Silverado by 169,787 vehicles. If anything proves that the people in the U.S. like their trucks more than their gas money, this is the list that proves it.
While the number one and two spots on the list are not a surprise, things get interesting from there. The Accord/Camry fight has been infiltrated by a third player, and an aging contender, once thought to be washed up, came back with a surprising showing.
Keep reading for the list!
1. Ford F-Series: 584,917
2. Chevrolet Silverado: 415,130
3. Toyota Camry: 308,510
4. Nissan Altima: 268,981
5. Ford Escape: 254,293
6. Honda Accord/Crosstour: 253,599
7. Ford Fusion: 248,067
8. Ram Pickup: 244,763
9. Toyota Corolla: 240,259
10. Chevrolet Cruze: 232,588
Yes, we now live in a world where the Altima and Escape outsell the Accord. In fact, the little Escape, which will get a complete redesign for next year, jumped into 5th place after a 13th place finish last year. The Ford Fusion came within 5,000 copies of pushing the Accord even further down the list.
Ford had three of the top 10 selling cars in the country last year. I think this year the Focus could make it four. I also predict Hyundai will crack the top ten in 2012. Will Honda continue to fall?
