Top Selling Pickup Trucks by State

According to Edmunds
This definitely seems to match my anecdotal experience - I see a lot of all the domestic trucks + the Toyota Tacoma where I live. I am a little surprised that the aluminum bodied F-150 isn’t the top seller in snow belt states like Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, or Pennsylvania given how much salt they use on the roads up there.
I don’t see many Ridgelines, but they are around. Don’t see many Nissan Titans either, which is weird considering they are built in the southern US. Seems like they’d have more Nissan Titan cheer leaders in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama.
Ram has done very well in the past few years. And GMC surprisingly outsells Chevrolet in Arkansas despite having a smaller dealer network and a slightly higher price tag.

Fords don't last long enough to rust.

I was floored at the number of Tacoma's on the road on my first trip to semi-rural Washington. It's a weird, eerie thing to notice the number of a specific vehicle on the road.

The Tacoma sells real well in places that don't sell alot of trucks

The frame, axles, and the underbody are all steel....and not very well finished even on the brand new ones. Ford is light years ahead of where they were in the 1980s on corrosion, but they are still the worst of all domestic trucks right now. They have major finish issues. Some of it was addressed with the aluminum body panels, but that wasn't really where the worst of the issues were.
Toyota has gone from worst to among the best recently when it comes to rust. Those 1990s Tacomas are really hard to find up north without major corrosion problems. The newer ones are WAY better.

They are smaller and easier to park in the suburbs or the city than a full sized truck. That's a big selling point.

Where does Rivian fit in?

A bunch of Toyota's in Durango, Co. while I was there last year about this time. Lots of Taco's and 4 Runners.

Titan's were late to the game and could never catch up. I think they're good trucks, but they don't compete with the big three and they lag in just about every category.

Pickups seem to have more corrosion problems than normal vehicles. I suspect because salt spray and grime get caught in their frames and in the bodywork easier. Salt spray is an absolutely bitch for cars up north.
Ford still has major frame rust problems, but they switched to aluminum doors and bed sides recently. It's not uncommon to see lower mounted metal parts of older, neglected Fords flake off in traffic when they hit bumps or rail road tracks.
The newer Toyota, Ram and GM trucks have much better rust protection underneath, but they still use at least some steel in their bodywork. So you'll eventually see rust around the wheel wells and on the back lower corners of the cab after 8-9 winters if they aren't cleaned regularly in the winter.

What is it with Arkansas baws and their GMCs?
I'm not surprised by Alabama. Jacked up, all terrain tires, cam locker tool box, and overkill trailer hitch. It's the "basic bitch" setup.

It's definitely more popular than the Cybertruck.
I am wondering when Tesla is going to build the darn thing. They are following GMC Hummer, Ford Lightning, Chevy Silverado EV, and Rivian RT1 to the market. The Lordstown thing might even beat them to market. Yet they showed their concept before any of those other companies.

Interesting that Chevy wins more states, and the states Ford wins are low population states, but they have more sales overall. Ford must be a close second in all those states to be overall sales leader.

I think there is a massively successful GMC dealer in the Little Rock area. (Everett). I saw their vehicles even when I lived in Illinois. That is probably the reason.

Maybe the GMC dealers are better there?
The local Ford and Chevy dealer near me suck. So there are a lot of GMCs, Buicks, Jeeps and Rams in my area because those dealers have a much better reputation.
That might be what's happening in Arkansas.

We apparently like to spend an extra $4,000 over our poor Silverado brethren to have our transmission need to be rebuilt at 100k miles.

In texas Chevy and Ford are definitely the two that sell the most. Surprising number of new dodge rams too… I never used to see them 10 years ago.
