It\u2019s the Ford F-150 pickup truck.<\/p>\n<p>As the best-selling light vehicle among used cars, trucks and Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs), the Ford F-150 helps make trucks the most popular segment in 31 of the 50 markets. Alongside the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 pickups, there is clearly a demand in the secondary market for the truck category.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith more than 8% of the used car market occupied by the F-150, Silverado and Ram pickup there\u2019s no denying America\u2019s love affair with the trucks, despite their relatively low MPG numbers and the higher fuel prices we experienced in 2022,\u201d said Karl Brauer, Executive Analyst at iSeeCars.com, an automotive research website, which conducted the study.<\/p>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_34434\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34434\" style=\"width: 1440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/santanderconsumerusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/21-Ford-F150-On-Road-Lariat_01_Sized.jpg\" alt=\"2021 Chrysler Pacifica\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34434\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Ford via Newspress USA<br \/><strong> The Ford F-150 drove to the top spot as the most popular used vehicle.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Beyond the love of trucks, SUVs and compact crossovers are also gaining popularity according to the iSeeCars study. \u201cBuyers continue to prioritize the utility and flexibility offered by SUVs,\u201d said Brauer. \u201cSecond only to full-size trucks, the compact crossovers have become the most-sought-after vehicle in the U.S., as reflected in our most popular list.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other category winners among most popular used vehicles were the Honda Civic (passenger car), Chevrolet Equinox (SUV) and Toyota RV4 Hybrid (hybrid).<\/p>\n<p>The following are highlights of category winners and number of metro areas and states where they captured the top spot:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/santanderconsumerusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SC-499691-CUST-Most-Popular-Used-Cars-MKTG-SC-Blog-Post-Chart.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>Find more detailed city-by-city and state-by-state used vehicle <a data-external=true href=\"https:\/\/santanderconsumerusa.com\/exit?external_link=e066383c3e281a15f8f48a5139873d40&href=https:\/\/www.iseecars.com\/most-popular-cars-study\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">results available<\/a> at iSeeCars.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re like us, you\u2019re a big fan of best-of lists.
