The Toyota Camry has been the best-selling passenger car in the U.S. for 10 of the last 11 years, but could the perennial best-selling car be eying the number one overall spot? Ford ’s F-150 pickup truck has held the title of the best-selling vehicle in the U.S. for the past 31 years, but a slumping economy and high fuel prices have the F-150′s title in jeopardy.
During the month of April, Toyota ’s Camry outsold Chevrolet ’s Silverado — which has historically always been the second best-selling vehicle in America. During April, Toyota sold 40,016 Camrys while Chevy could only move 37,231 Silverados — a decrease of 24.7 percent.
However, despite the Camry’s strong April sales, the Silverado still retains the number two spot by a small margin. But if gas prices continue to climb, the Camry might just have enough momentum to knock both pickups off their comfy top spots.
