2019 Best Selling Pickup Trucks In the United States (All Models Ranked)
Pickup truck sales for the month of December and for the entire year of 2019 proved to be one of the more interesting areas of the market. Industry stalwarts like the Ford F-Series and the Chevrolet Silverado saw declines for both the month and the year.
Continuing its long-standing tradition, the F-Series, especially the F-150, remained the top-selling vehicle in the U.S. With its broad range of configurations, engine options, and the introduction of more advanced technology and luxury features, the F-Series appealed to a vast audience. The Silverado, a perennial competitor to Ford’s F-Series, maintained strong sales numbers. 2019 saw the rollout of the redesigned Silverado with a focus on weight reduction, improved aerodynamics, and a broader range of powertrain options.
However, the Ram Pickup managed to have a heck of a year, seeing increases of over 18 percent. It was down for the month, though. The 2019 model year was part of the fifth-generation RAM introduced in 2019, known for its luxurious interior, advanced technology features, and a mild-hybrid system for improved efficiency. We expect this to continue in 2020.
Other trucks that saw strong sales for the year include the Honda Ridgeline and the GMC Sierra. The Sierra, a corporate sibling to the Chevrolet Silverado, also saw a new design in 2019. While mechanically similar to the Silverado, the Sierra often targeted a slightly more upscale audience, especially with the Denali trims.
There are some new trucks that came out in 2019 that also seem to be doing decent, including the Ford Ranger and the Jeep Gladiator. It will be interesting to see how these models fare in 2020. Dominating the mid-size truck segment, the Tacoma remained popular for those who didn’t need the full size and capability of larger trucks. Its reputation for durability and strong resale value contributed to its success.
