Most Popular Used Cars In America In 2025

Written By: CarPro | Jan 20, 2026 7:08:01 PM

With 2025 in the rearview mirror, iSeeCars is sharing its list of last year's best-selling used cars, trucks, SUVs, and EVs in America. There are no major shakeups at the top. The Ford F-150 was once again the best-selling used vehicle in 2025, a position its maintained for decades. It was followed once again by the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500,

While there is no debate that Ford is #1 overall, researchers say it's losing its grip at the state level.  In 2025, the F-150 was the best-selling used vehicle in 28 states, down from 34 just two years ago and iSeeCars says it's no longer a foregone conclusion that it will be the most popular vehicle in every region of the U.S.

The Chevrolet Equinox ranked as the best-selling used vehicle that’s not a truck. Tesla’s Model 3 was the top best-selling used electric vehicle, even though it didn’t make the overall top 20 list. iSeeCars also notes that the Chevrolet Malibu jumped 21 slots in popularity - from 29th to 8th most popular used car. Analysts say with Malibu production cancelled in 2025, rental car agencies likely released these models into the used market and replaced them with sedans still in production. The Nissan Rogue and Toyota Corolla also experienced upward moves in 2025, while iSeeCars says the Toyota Camry, Tacoma, and RAV4 lost a bit of ground among the top models.

iSeeCars says it analyzed over 9 million used car sales from the last five model years (2020 - 2025). Each model’s share of used car sales was calculated nationally, as well as within each metro area and state.
