Best-selling used cars: Trucks dominated the vehicle charts in 2022

Used car shopping was stressful in 2022, as prices were high and selection was spotty. That didn’t stop tens of millions of people from buying a used car, however, as it's estimated that more than 36 million were sold last year. Automotive search and analytics firm iSeeCars studies the used market each year to find the most popular models. While its list contains few revelations, it’s interesting to see how the numbers correlate with new vehicle sales.

Unsurprisingly, the best-selling new vehicles tend to be the most popular used vehicles. Ford lumps many truck models into one sales category, but the automaker moved more than 650,000 F-Series trucks last year, and the F-150 alone accounted for 3.3 percent of total used car sales. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 came in second and third, with 2.8 and 2.3 percent of the year’s used sales, respectively. The full top-ten list includes:

1. Ford F-150: 3.3%

2. Chevrolet Silverado 1500: 2.8%

3. Ram 1500: 2.3%

4. Chevrolet Equinox: 2.2%

5. Honda Civic: 1.8%

6. Toyota Camry: 1.7%

7. Toyota RAV4: 1.7%

8. Nissan Rogue: 1.7%

9. Ford Escape: 1.5%

10. Jeep Grand Cherokee: 1.5%
