In recent years, studies from more than one company have found that Ford routinely ranks among the most commonly seen automotive brands on the roads in the U.S., which isn’t terribly surprising given the fact that The Blue Oval is one of the top-selling automakers in that country – and has been for a very long time. This is even more true when we add in the handful of other brands that fall or have fallen under the Ford Motor Company umbrella over the years, too. Now, a new study has found that Ford isn’t just among the most common vehicles on American roads, but rather, the most common of all.
This data comes to us from Experian’s Q2 2025 State of the Automotive Finance Market report, and it found that Ford was the most common automotive brand on U.S. roads in the most recent quarter of the year – accounting for 14.6 percent of that total. Ford’s cross-town rival Chevrolet was second at 13.3 percent, followed by Toyota (13 percent), Honda (8.5 percent), and Nissan (5.8 percent) rounding out the top five.
This is certainly an interesting data point, but it also largely aligns with some other recent studies published over the past few months. Back in August 2024, S&P Global Mobility released its most recent list of  the total number of vehicles in operation in the U.S. by manufacturer as of the end of Q2, and it found that Ford came out on top in that regard with 42,405,257 vehicles still in operation in U.S. roads – representing just a touch under 15 percent of the 283,554,192 total vehicles from all brands.
This past December, Experian’s Q3 2024 Automotive Market Trends report also found that Ford topped the list of brands that have the most vehicles on U.S. roads at 14.7 percent in that particular quarter, followed by Chevy (13.4 percent), Toyota (12.9 percent), Honda (8.4 percent), and Nissan (5.9 percent).
