For half a century, a litany of federal policies has favored large SUVs and trucks, pushing automakers and American buyers toward larger models. Instead of counteracting car bloat through regulation, policymakers have subtly encouraged it. That has been a boon for car companies, but a disaster for everyone else.
1. Ford F-Series. The Ford F-150's offers the best attributes of a modern pickup: power, efficiency, comfort and capability. Add to that a huge range of configurations and options, and you've got the best-selling vehicle in America for 2023.
Autolist says North Carolina ranked No. 26 in the country last month for vehicle affordability. A car here typically costs $229 more than the national average. The best city to buy a car in North Carolina is actually Charlotte and the best county is Lincoln County.
Global SUV sales also increased despite supply chain obstacles and rising inflation, growing by around 3% between 2021 and 2022. In 2022, SUVs accounted for around 46% of global car sales, with noticeable growth coming in the United States, India and Europe.
SUVs typically have a larger cargo area with trunk access through a flip-up rear hatch door, which may make them a convenient option for families or new parents wondering where they'll fit all that baby gear. Under the hood, you'll typically find SUVs to have more powerful engines to accommodate their size and weight.
Trucks and Toyotas make up over half the spots on the overall longest-lasting cars list. SUVs are similarly well represented, with 8 models making the cut. Three sedans and one minivan also have a 20 percent or better chance of reaching a quarter million miles or more.
The Ford F-Series maintained its spot as the best-selling vehicle in America for over four decades straight. Of the two million cars that Ford sold last year, nearly 40% were of the F-Series. While the automaker has cut back electric vehicle (EV) plans for 2024, sales of EV models increased 18% over the year.
