These include Arkansas, Arizona, and Nevada. The model claimed the recognition as America&rsquo;s second best-selling vehicle for the first time in 2019, overtaking the Chevrolet Silverado in the process.<\/p>\n<p>The Silverado, which is currently in third place in terms of sales, was the first pick in Iowa and Minnesota, while the Toyota Tacoma mid-size pickup was the favorite in Hawaii and Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<p>Edmunds.com&rsquo;s analysis was based on retail vehicle registration data, meaning sales to commercial customers or governments were not included in the demographics.<\/p>\n<p>In the states of Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Washington state, and Washington, D.C., the Toyota RAV4 SUV is number one.
