  3. America's Top Ten Favorite Vehicles
Best-selling Cars, Trucks, and SUVs for 2024
Each year, as we pass the halfway mark, we take a look at the top selling vehicles so far. For 2024, there are few surprises in our top ten list, but increased inventory means sales have been strong. Automakers are finally back to keeping up with demand and the major manufacturers continue to be Ford, General Motors, Toyota and Honda.

As you might expect, trucks still dominate the top spots for the most sales, followed by crossover SUVs, and there's even one sedan in the top ten this year.

Transportation’s Tempting Twenty

Before we reveal America's favorites, we thought you'd like a taste of which vehicles made the top 20 for most sales. In the number 20 spot we find that faithful adventure wagon known as the Subaru Outback. With a minor update in 2023, the Outback is up 10 percent this year. At 19, Toyota's three-row SUV, the Highlander was joined by the larger Grand Highlander. In the 18th spot, the Ford Explorer SUV is still running strong. At 17, the reliable Honda Accord four-door sedan is up thanks to a redesign in 2023. The Honda Civic is at 16 on the list, up 50 percent in sales this year.

Hyundai's exceptional Tuscon compact crossover is setting sales records in the 15th spot, up 20 percent over last year. Chevy's all-new Equinox takes 14th place as a qualified crossover. Another sedan is at 13 on the list, and it is the Toyota Corolla, beating out the Honda Civic. We find an all-electric car in the 12th position and it's none other than the Tesla model 3. At least that's what Automotive News tells us since Tesla doesn't break down its sales by region. And at number 11, we find our first pickup truck, the Toyota Tacoma. Sales are up thanks to a all-new package.
The Top 10
All that said, here are the best of the best for 2024… so far; the Top 10 selling vehicles in the United States. All of these have sold over a quarter million units so far this year.

A two-row mid-size SUV, the Grand Cherokee is more a lavish around towner than an off-road ready Jeep. It comes in a wide range of trim levels, from the entry level Laredo (under $40K) to the posh Summit Reserve model. Powered by a 293-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 and rear wheel drive, all-wheel-drive is obviously available. The fastest Grand Cherokee is the 4xe Hybrid model, which can get you from zero to 60mph in 5.3 seconds.
 
Over the last two years, the Rogue's sales have leaped nearly 50 percent. With a smooth ride and a comfy interior, the top tier levels even include a 12.3-inch touchscreen showcasing the latest Google software. Power comes from a 201-horsepower 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder, it is both fast and fuel efficient. The Rogue got a makeover for 2024 with a sexy new grille, revised rear end and new wheel designs. This crossover starts a just over $30K.
 
With over 300,000 units sold so far this year, the ever-popular Camry is the only mid-size sedan in the top 10. This top-selling family car debuts its ninth generation in the 2025 model with striking looks and a modern interior inspired by the Crown model. All-hybrid versions produce up to 292 horses, are available as front-wheel or all-wheel drive, and feature the latest in Toyota Safety Sense driver assist features.
 
Our first full size pickup in the top 10 is mechanically the twin to Chevy's Silverado and its sales are up nearly 25 percent over last year. It is available as a single-, double-, our four-door crew cab and bed length ranges from 5.8-to-8.2 feet in length. Powertrains include a turbocharged four-cylinder, a Duramax diesel, a 5.3-liter or a 6.2-liter V8. It also boasts a max towing capacity of 13,200 pounds. MSRP starts at $38,345.
 
Compact crossovers are still in big demand and the Honda CR-V is high on the list, up over 50 percent in sales last year. Available with front- or all-wheel drive, there's a 190-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter four cylinder or a 204-horse hybrid version. With seats designed to reduce driver fatigue on long trips, the comfy interior includes 39 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row. The base model LX starts at $31,450 MSRP.
 
The only EV in the top 10, Tesla's Model Y SUV is estimated to have sold nearly 400,000 units in 2024. It is basically a higher riding version of the Model 3 sedan, with more cargo room and an impressive 330 miles of range between charges.  Now in its fifth year of production, a refresh of the Model Y is coming next year, codenamed Project Jupiter. MSRP for the base model is $44,630. We'd suggest the Long Range version at $49,630 MSRP.
 
Reaching a diverse market, the RAV4 has been the best-selling mid-size SUV in the world since its debut in 1995 and its numbers have really been soaring since 2022. Toyota is on track to sell 450,000 units this year. It's easy to see why: now in its 30th year, the RAV4 is extremely practical, reliable, and affordable. In fact, the 2024 base model is starting at $30,025 MSRP. A 203-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder powertrain comes standard. 
 
The top 3 most popular vehicles in America are all pickup trucks. The RAM 1500 comes in at number 3 and has been upgraded for 2025, dropping the V8 Hemi in favor of a twin-turbo inline six with 420- or 540-horses. Known for its lush interiors, the top tier Tungsten model offers quilted leather massaging seats, a 14.5-inch touchscreen, and every bell and whistle imaginable. Both a hybrid and EV version is also available.
 
With nearly 600,000 units sold this year, the full-size Silverado handles both work and play with ease thanks to light duty and heavy duty varieties. Like the GMC Sierra, the Silverado has powertrains that run the gamut from a turbocharged four-cylinder, two V8s and a Duramax diesel. Known for out towing the RAM 1500, the Silverado is also easier on the wallet, MSRP starting at $37,445 though seven models top out with the High Country at $64,695 MSRP.
 
In the number one spot for 48 years, the ever-faithful Ford F-150 series pickup is up 15 percent over last year with sales over 751,000 units. The F-150 has it all including a turbo 3.5-liter V6, a hybrid, and a 5.0-liter V8 as well as the all-electric Lightning version. There's a new Pro Access tailgate, Ford's Blue Cruise hands-free driving feature, and a 12.0-inch touchscreen which is now standard. There's even an off-road ready Tremor model including a winch.
