US Top 10 Best-Selling Vehicles May 2009

It seems that low gas prices are fueling truck sales, as the two best-selling vehicles are once again full-size pickups. However, the Dodge Ram, usually a staple of this top 10 list, has fallen off, just barely beaten out by the Ford Escape. Ford had three of the top 10 best-sellers, including a sales record for the Fusion; the redesigned sedan seems to be attracting shoppers.

While sales for nearly every brand were down, GM, Ford and Hyundai stayed competitive, seeing sales losses of 29%, 25.5% and 20% from last May, respectively.

That’s competitive when you compare them to Chrysler, Toyota and Honda, which saw mind-boggling falls of 47%, 39.7% and 38%.

Of course, Honda and Toyota were setting sales records at this time last year, so their negatives are a bit higher than you'd expect.


Check out the full top 10 below:

#1 Ford F-Series: 33,381
#2 Chevy Silverado: 31,463
#3 Toyota Camry: 31,325
#4 Toyota Corolla: 23,576
#5 Honda Accord: 22,597
#6 Honda Civic: 20,723
#7 Ford Fusion: 19,786
#8 Chevy Impala: 18,709
#9 Nissan Altima: 18,408
#10 Ford Escape: 16,391
