Nationally, the Ford F-150 is the most-sold vehicle, and two other pickups, the Chevy Silverado (No. 4) and the Dodge Ram 1500 (8) also rank in the top ten.

Four of the most popular vehicles are crossover SUVs, with the Honda CR-V ranking number two, followed by the Jeep Wrangler (6), Nissan Rogue (7) and Honda Pilot (8). While not on the top ten, the Subaru Outback wagon was the third most popular new car choice in Delaware.
