Texans’ Favorite Vehicle(s)
We’ve often wondered at the question: what’s the most popular car here in Texas? Is it really the pickup truck, the vehicle we’re so commonly associated with? Or does a sedan or SUV take the real lead? Well, we decided to delve into this all-important issue and found that, unfortunately, the answer is not completely straightforward. Keep reading to learn about Texans’ favorite cars with us.
Conflicting Reports
According to information from everquote.com, collected in 2018, the Toyota Camry is the most common vehicle in Texas. This mirrors nationwide data showing the Camry as the most-owned car in the U.S. However, a 2016 Kelley Blue Book survey reported that the top-selling vehicle in Texas is the Ford F-150. This would make sense, as Texans buy one out of every six full-size pickups sold in the U.S. Meanwhile, insurify.com claims the Honda Civic is the most popular vehicle in Texas.
This puzzling difference in results is likely due to the different data collection methods used. EverQuote based its conclusion on the number of drivers who requested quotes for their vehicles. Kelley Blue Book appears to have relied on sales numbers, while Insurify based its conclusion on insurance quote data, in which drivers were asked about the vehicle make and model they currently owned.
