AutoTrader.com Shows Full-Size Trucks Popular
Trucks made up nearly half of the top 20 most popular new vehicles on AutoTrader.com in 2013, including three of the top five.
This was the year of the full-size truck, according to new-car shoppers on AutoTrader.com. Trucks made up nearly half of the top 20 most popular new vehicles on the site this year, including three of the top five.
Aligning with its longstanding status as the best-selling vehicle in the U.S., the Ford F-150 retained its place as the most popular new vehicle on AutoTrader.com in 2013, followed by the Jeep Wrangler, Ram 1500, Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
From a brand perspective, Ford had the most vehicles in the top 20 with six, including the year's biggest mover, the Ford Fusion, which moved up 16 spots compared to 2012 to be the 16th most popular vehicle on the site. Chevrolet was next with four, including the all-new Silverado and Corvette. The Honda Accord and GMC Sierra also saw solid growth compared to 2012, up six and four spots in rank, respectively.
The most popular vehicles are determined by analyzing the number of car shoppers who click on a listing for a new car for sale on AutoTrader.com. This methodology goes beyond search to illustrate which cars shoppers are actively interested in learning more about, and is reflective of the new vehicles dealers are offering for sale. More than 16 million car shoppers visit AutoTrader.com each month.
