Across the South, Midwest, and West, Ford’s F-Series pickups led auto sales.
As Ford’s top revenue driver, the company sold 460,915 new vehicles last year. However, F-150 sales dipped 5% in 2024, while Toyota’s RAV4 SUV rose 9% to 475,193, driven by growing demand for hybrids.
Overall, the RAV4 SUV was a top seller in eight U.S. states including Oregon, Florida, and Massachusetts.
Meanwhile, Tesla’s Model Y dominated in Western states, with 372,613 units sold—a 6.6% decline from 2023. Tesla shares initially surged to record highs after Trump’s election but more recently have fallen 40% year-to-date amid backlash against CEO Elon Musk.
Despite this, Tesla may be the most insulated from new tariffs, as the majority of its parts are sourced domestically.
