Colorado has to be Tacomas and Subarus

Toyotas of all kinds everywhere here. Add in Lexus... CR-Vs...
German cars... Heck, we are the biggest market in the US, by far.
Toyotas really hold their value; Hondas are close. Be prepared to pay the "Toyota tax".
Hawaii is Tacoma by a mile. I never seen so many in my life in Kona and Hilo. Did they have a huge sale?
Lots of pickups in Utah. Almost exclusively 4x4. Utah does a great job clearing the snow. But when you need 4x4 you need it....
Most BMW’s are leased. And most BMW owners live in their Mom’s basement. 
The chart is vague as standalone data. Are we talking about new vehicle purchases? Registrations? And over what time period? Tons of rental agencies in FL could be skewing the numbers toward the Altima.

Where I live “F150” says Super Duty and clacks more when it idles
Can confirm, Pennsylvania has a bunch of F150's driving around. Mostly newer ones after the switch to aluminum. The salt is not kind around here.

Do they still make Grand Caravans? I can't believe there's still enough on the road to make a difference, but it was just one state, so maybe it's true.
There hasn't been a "Dodge" Ram truck for fourteen years, but that may be just a technicality.

Ugh. F150. I hate the US’ obsession with full size trucks. They are terrible vehicles overall and are outclassed in almost every way by vans. The only reasons to own a truck are if you go off road and if you tow regularly. There are better vehicles for working and hauling.
But no, everyone needs their brodozer.

I'd like to see the "Top 25 Vehicles" rather than the "#1 Vehicle" any day.
There are states where the array of what's owned would be very interesting.
NOTE: A relative lived in a particularly vibrant neighborhood of NYC. Included was a large apartment building on a rock ledge. This irregular ledge was used to make underground garages for which the tenants paid "above average". The building had immediate access to the highway.
The demographics of that address screamed 'gentrification' as the building was opened to college grads and professionals.
My relative lived in an adjacent older building.
The cars you'd see come and go as well as those of guests and tenants who didn't pay for garage space were quite varied.

I agree with an earlier comment that likely many of those F-150s are commercial vehicles, especially considering how many states it is No. 1 in. Here in town people generally aren't driving pickups as personal vehicles; that is much more of a rural thing.

Seriously I saw a video in Chicago a situation escalated with man thrown to ground and tased for no plate and blacked out tints. In Philly, being straight up. No plate, no license, no insurance, 5% tints, nothing is done. Policy is to officially ignore. It borderline sickens me.
I can see you complaining about anything that you don't like but has absolutely zero effect on you.

Zero effect huh? The proliferation of full size+ trucks has effects on everyone. They are statistically much more likely to lead to pedestrian fatalities and cause more damage to other vehicles in crashes. They occupy more space, restrict more lines of sight, and emit more pollution than other vehicles.
Too many buyers purchase these trucks for image only and do not make regular use of the vehicle’s towing or offroad capabilities. Many buyers simply purchase their trucks because they feel it reinforces their masculinity.
I say this with a heavily modified, lifted off road truck in my garage. I’m not anti-truck, I’m against truck proliferation and size inflation for no purpose other than machismo. Buy a truck if you tow or off road.
so no they have no affect on you. unless you've been hit by one or suffer from pollution related illness.

You don’t have to take what I’m saying personally, you know.
I get 16 city/21 hwy fully modified on 255/80r17s with full bumper armor, sliders winch, etc. That’s the same as a stock full size truck and this thing can go places they can only dream of.
I managed weight much more carefully than most with this build. Much more use of aluminum than typical.
