Prices are at an all-time high in 2022. As a result, we’ve heard many accounts of people buying hybrid and electric models, and skipping gas so they don’t have to break the bank at the pump. However, we now have the numbers on how many people have purchased the forms. The results are the opposite for people who buy a brand new car. Gas prices notwithstanding, the three best-selling pickups in America for 2022 were pickups.
3rd best seller in America for 2022
The third best-selling vehicle in 2022 was the Ram Pickup. Although it covers the larger Ram models as well, the most popular is the. As C/D said, the numbers include the light and heavy versions of the pickup, which were down 18 percent in sales from the previous model year. Nevertheless, it managed to generate enough sales to achieve the top three spots, which is pretty much standard for a brand at this point. This pickup truck and the second-place model are in an ongoing battle for second place, and Ram is losing it in 2022.

Sell more Chevy Silverado
The next best-selling model of 2022 is the. Another pickup truck, it outsold Ram trucks by a large margin, at 513,354 units. Like the Ram, sales figures include the Silverado 1500 Heavy Duty and Heavy Duty versions. Likewise again, the light-duty truck makes up most of the sales. It fell short of RAM for a while at the start of the year, which C/D suggests might be due to its 2022 updates. However, it eventually went strong and once again took its place behind the perennial sales winner.
Like its competition, the Silverado 1500 is no longer so terrible on gas that it’s unbearable. However, it still isn’t great, especially when the prices are so high. With the standard two-wheel drive, it averages about 23 mpg city and 31 highway. Many buyers swap the engine for a V8, and both get fuel economy closer to what it was 20 years ago.
The Ford F-Series Pickup is the best-selling model in America for 2022
We’re not surprised to see Ford’s lineup of trucks top another sales list. It seems like it’s been a long time since a different car sold more than a Ford pickup. That’s why Ram and Chevy compete for second place year after year while he sits comfortably on his throne. C/D says Ford F-Series trucks sold 653,957 units in 2022. While it added a new electric version recently, it only made up 15,617 units of the total sales figures, which is almost nothing.
Although gas prices have risen throughout the year, the Ford faithful have resurfaced. The top selling model in America for 2022 is the pickup truck. With the standard engine and two-wheel drive, the F-150 gets an average of 25 city and 25 mpg highway. Variables like performance and off-road are much worse, getting 14 mpg in the city and 16 on the highway. But this did not prevent the Americans from buying it.
It was the best-selling pickup truck in America for 2022
To conclude, surprisingly enough, the top three best selling trucks in America for 2022 are pickups again. Although it happened often, record high gas prices seem to have been reason to avoid fuel-guzzling models. Fortunately for these automakers, that didn’t deter buyers too much at all. In fact, the GMC Sierra and Toyota Tacoma also made the top 10, so truck sales were plentiful for 2022.
