The sales numbers are in and we now know the most popular pickups for 2022. (Drumroll please…). Last year, pickup enthusiasts drove 653,957 Ford F-Series trucks. Even with F-Series sales down 10%, it’s outperforming its closest competitor, the Silverado. But GM fans argue that when you combine Sierra and Silverado sales, some interesting things happen in the arrangement. On the other hand, the mid-size market was dominated (237,323 in total), which outperformed most cars and SUVs.

Sorts vehicle sales data, distinguishing between small and medium-sized trucks and full-size trucks. But it combines light trucks (half a ton) and heavy trucks (three-quarters and one ton).

With, it achieved wins on both the GMC Sierra and the Chevrolet Silverado. But for 2022, Chevy released a new generation Silverado and snagged a win over the Ram. The Chevy 513354 Silverados (both light and heavy) hauled. Meanwhile, Stellantis claimed 468,344 new Ram truck drivers.
To give you an idea of how popular full-size trucks are in the United States, Toyota Camry’s U.S. sales lagged behind these three trucks. The GMC Sierra trailed the Camry with 241,522 units sold.
GM’s “Professional Grade” pickup truck offers some features that don’t come standard on the Silverado but ride on a similar chassis. So General Motors moved 754,876 full-size pickup trucks in 2022. That’s 100,919 more than Ford.
What are the most popular medium-sized pickup trucks?
The Toyota Tacoma has been the most popular midsize truck in the United States, year after year. In 2022, it didn’t disappoint. 237,323 American drivers have chosen a Toyota Tacoma in 2022. That’s a six percent decrease since 2021.
Is the Tacoma skidding? Mostly not. Even with very competitive offerings from Ford and General Motors—trucks that reviewers have described as more modern in every way—the Tacoma has maintained its lead.

What’s interesting about the Tacoma’s sales leader is that Toyota hasn’t given it a complete visual redesign since 2016. What’s more, the current generation is very similar dimensionally and mechanically to the one launched in 2007. What happened with Toyota’s Tacoma works. In addition, what some might consider “tried-and-true and reliable.
