What this means for you

The most-registered vehicles here have the deepest local used market, which usually means more buyers when you sell and more listings to compare when you shop. In this data that is the Ford F-150. Popularity is not a quality or reliability rating, and this is not advice to buy or sell any car.

Auto loans in Washington: who's lending and their complaint records (Lender Tracker)

Coverage: make and model counts exist only where a state publishes them for free (Washington for all vehicles; Washington and Connecticut for plug-ins; New York by make and model year). Maryland and Delaware publish fuel-type counts only. Full 50-state make and model data is sold by private vendors (for example S&P Global Mobility and Experian) and requires a paid license, so we don't show it.
