All right, the Ram 1500 should start freaking out. The two American trucks that have dominated the sales charts for decades are outperforming it. As more drivers are drawn to three SUVs, it is lagging behind.
The Ram 1500 is being outsold by three SUVs.
American trucks have been at the top of the sales charts for the last several years. The top three positions were contested by the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and Ram 1500.
Ram’s situation is becoming a touch precarious, though, since sales are dropping. Three SUVs are now overtaking one another.
Car and Driver reports that 268,666 Ram truck models have been sold in 2024. These numbers cover the period from January 1st to September 30th. Ram still has a few months remaining in the year to make up lost ground.
Right now, the 2024 Honda CR-V is the sixth best-selling car. This year, 296,164 models have been sold. Next up is the Tesla Model Y, which has sold 312,000 units. Additionally, with 350,331 sales, the 2024 Toyota RAV4 is in third position, where Ram ought to be.
The 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 should be concerned about maintaining its second-place position even though it leads by a wide margin. Although it has sold 399,604 units, the RAV4 might quickly overtake it.
It should come as no surprise that the Ford F-150 is ranked #1 as usual. It has sold 528,028 units so far, and I think it will continue to lead.

Let’s get back to the Ram 1500’s struggles, though. In comparison to the same period last year, it is presently down 19%.
It isn’t as customizable as the F-150 or Silverado, despite the fact that reviews usually praise it for being roomy, comfortable, and sophisticated.
Pricing is definitely not a major concern because it only begins at around $2,000 more than competitors and comes with a vast number of basic features. Additionally, many could be anticipating the release of the updated 2025 model.
