Over its century-plus in existence, Ford has sold millions of vehicles, as most are well aware. Thus, it isn’t too surprising to learn that many of those vehicles are still populating U.S. roads today, though there are many other factors that play into that, such as sales, reliability, and the availability of parts. Regardless, Ford has long ranked near or at the top of the list when it comes to the percentage of vehicles by brand that remain in operation in the U.S., and that was once again the case in the second quarter of 2025, too.
According to Experian’s Q2 2025 Automotive Market Trends Report, Ford ranked second in terms of automotive manufacturers having the most vehicles on U.S. roads, accounting for 15.6 percent of that total. That ranked it second behind only its cross-town rival, General Motors, which topped the list at 20.3 percent. Otherwise, Ford ranked just ahead of Toyota (15.2 percent), as well as Stellantis (11.5 percent), Honda (9.5 percent), Renault-Nissan (7.1 percent), Hyundai (3.6 percent), Subaru (3.0 percent), Kia (2.9 percent), Volkswagen (2.8 percent), BMW (2.1 percent), Daimler (1.9 percent), and Mazda (1.8 percent).
What’s particularly notable about this new data is that Ford has previously ranked atop the same list on multiple occasions in the past – in fact, back in Q3 2024, Ford was first at 14.7 percent. Ford also ranked first at the conclusion of 2023 by accounting for 14.7 percent of the market, but recent trends show that it has lost a bit of ground to its cross-town rival, GM, and it was overtaken in the second quarter as a result.
In another recent study conducted by S&P Global Mobility, Ford topped a similar list with 42,405,257 vehicles still in operation on U.S. roads. That was enough to beat out second- and third-place Chevrolet (38,665,327 vehicles) and Toyota (36,633,813), representing just a touch under 15 percent of the 283,554,192 total vehicles currently on the road in the U.S.
A rather bizarre incident, indeed.
