Most Popular American Trucks in 2026: Top 3 by Sales

Discover the top 3 most popular American trucks entering 2026, based on official 2025 U.S. sales results from Ford, GM and Ram. See the full breakdown.

The U.S. full-size pickup market closed 2025 with figures that now shape the discussion about the most popular American trucks entering 2026. As the current year is still underway, the latest complete benchmark remains the official full-year 2025 sales results.

Ford F-Series once again leads the field. In 2025, the lineup reached 828,832 units sold in the United States, marking an 8.3% increase year over year. The fourth quarter alone accounted for 208,252 trucks, including Lightning variants. Notably, the F-150 Hybrid recorded 84,934 sales for the year, up 15%, highlighting sustained interest in electrified versions within the traditional pickup segment.

Second place belongs to the Chevrolet Silverado. The combined Silverado lineup totaled 588,709 units in 2025, a 5.1% improvement compared to 2024. The figure includes HD, LD, MD, and Silverado EV variants. Heavy-duty models alone accounted for 206,184 units, while LD versions reached 362,909. The presence of the electric Silverado EV, with 11,275 units sold during the year, signals an ongoing shift within the segment, even if volumes remain comparatively modest.

In third position stands the Ram Pickup, finishing 2025 with 374,059 units sold. This total includes 204,139 light-duty models and 169,920 heavy-duty versions. The near balance between LD and HD sales underscores the breadth of demand supporting the brand’s position among the top three.

When comparing absolute numbers, the gap between first and second place remains significant, while competition between Silverado and Ram appears closer. Quarterly results throughout 2025 indicated that the full-size pickup segment maintained overall stability, with leading players continuing to post strong volumes.

As a result, Ford F-Series, Chevrolet Silverado, and Ram Pickup form the trio of America’s most popular trucks entering 2026. Their positions are defined not by editorial rankings but by concrete sales performance over the most recent completed year — still the most reliable indicator of real-world demand.
