Most Popular Trucks by State
Below is a snapshot of the most popular trucks by state. The state data was pulled from Edmunds by collecting vehicle registration data over the course of 2022, excluding rental sales or registrations from government agencies.
2023 Trends in Truck Popularity
While the Ford F-150 continues to reign supreme in sales, car manufacturers are starting to roll out EV trucks that could shake up the market.
The Rivian R1T was one of the first battery-powered pickups to hit the market, and delivered 20,332 pickups in 2022. The truck can travel up to 328 miles, tow up to 11,000 pounds, and accelerate to 60 miles per hour in 3.3 seconds.
Ford sold 15,617 F-150 Lightning trucks in 2022—the first year the Lightning trucks were available. The truck secured Kelley Blue Book’s pick for the best EV truck of 2023, and features up to a 320-mile range and a base price of $51,974.
The GMC Hummer EV is a powerhouse of a truck, with a 329-mile range and a crab walk mode that allows the truck to travel diagonally around obstacles. These features do come at a cost—the GMC Hummer EV sells for a base price of $110,295, making it the most expensive EV truck on the market.
According to a study we conducted earlier this year, 38% of non-truck owners say they’re interested the most in Tesla’s Cybertruck out of all EV truck options. With a modern, futuristic look, Tesla’s yet-to-be released Cybertruck is designed with a cold-rolled stainless steel exoskeleton to help prevent dents and provide drivers and passengers with the ultimate protection.
