As of the first quarter of 2023, the Ford F-Series remains, as it was in 2022, the best-selling light truck in the United States.

Pickups: one of the most important vehicle segments
The U.S. light truck market has remained resilient amidst a difficult business environment. Pickup trucks accounted for some of the best-selling vehicles in the U.S. in 2022. A well-performing model can play an important role in a brand's success: Ford, the maker of 2022's best-selling model, was also the leading car brand that year.

Light trucks, including pickups, were the most popular light passenger vehicle type in the United States in 2022. However, the segment had faced challenges in the previous years, with retail sales dropping for the first time since 2008 in 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. While the market picked back up in 2021, the semiconductor shortage, increasing raw material prices, and overall price inflation impacted light truck sales, leading to a steeper drop in 2022.

Light truck retail sales in the United States increased to 12.9 million units in 2024. This was a year-over-year increase in sales of some 3.94 percent compared to 2023. In contrast, 2022 was the second drop in sales in a decade, after the drop reported in 2020, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales had been increasing since 2010, when the auto industry began recovering from low vehicle purchases after the 2008-2009 financial crisis. In 2024, sales of light trucks accounted for about 81.2 percent of the approximately 15.9 million light vehicles sold in the United States. Ford, with its signature truck, the Ford F-150, was one of the leading North American car brands in the United States. Why are consumers buying trucks now? Before the coronavirus pandemic hit in 2020, the U.S. economy had largely recovered from the woes of the financial crisis and unemployment in the United States fell to 3.7 percent in 2019. This meant that consumers were better able to purchase new vehicles. Similarly, due to lower gasoline and diesel fuel prices, motorists were more willing to buy trucks over smaller, more fuel-efficient sedans. 2022 presented a challenge for this automotive market, with Russia's war on Ukraine leading to motor fuel price inflation and to higher new and used car prices.
