Curious as to which vehicles topped the sales chart last year? Here are the models most likely to have wound up in a driveway (or commercial fleet) near you in 2005. Full-size trucks continue to dominate; no surprises there. What is surprising, though, is the fall of the mighty Ford Explorer. A perennial top 10 favorite, the ute saw a notable drop in sales last year. As a result, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer is the only sport-utility vehicle to crack 2005's top 10 list.
Ford F-Series (includes F-150, F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty) — 901,463
Chevrolet Silverado (includes 1500, 1500 Classic, 1500 SS, 1500 SS Classic, 1500HD, 1500HD Classic, 2500HD, 2500HD Classic, 3500, 3500 Classic) — 705,891
