The market for large pick-ups is not very relevant here, but in the United States it is the most important market. For the first time since 2015, General Motors has sold more of it than major rival Ford.
You can bet that there is a modest party going on at General Motors headquarters. For the first time in five years, the concern has succeeded in pushing Ford off the pick-up throne. By far the most important car market in the home country of the two car giants. Although the Ford F-150 remains the absolute top seller, GM sold more pickups across the board.
With 787,422 units sold, the Ford F-series was the best-selling model line in the US in 2020, but if you add up the sales of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra at GM, you get 839,691 cars. That message the Wall Street Journal. Ford saw F-Series sales shrink 12.2 percent from 2019, while GM of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra sold 3.2 percent and 8.9 percent more, respectively.
The top 10 U.S. car sales in the United States in 2020 were as follows:
| 1. Ford F-series | 787,422 | -12.2 percent |
| 2. Chevrolet Silverado | 594,094 | +3.2 percent |
| 3. Ram pickups | 563,676 | -11 percent |
| 4. Toyota RAV4 | 430,387 | -3.9 percent |
| 5. Honda CR-V | 333,502 | -13.2 percent |
| 6. Toyota Camry | 294,348 | -12.7 percent |
| Chevrolet Equinox | 270,994 | -21.7 percent |
| 8. Honda Civic | 261,225 | -19.8 percent |
| 9. GMC Sierra | 253,016 | +8.9 percent |
| 10. Toyota Tacoma | 238,806 | -4 percent |
It is also striking how well the Japanese brands did again in the US. Except for the Chevrolet Equinox, all passenger cars are in the top 10 of Honda or Toyota. Toyota is also doing well on the pick-up market, with the Tacoma. The Toyota Camry was once again the most popular sedan in the US last year.
