Used cars prices hit record highs in 2022, thanks to everything from volatile fuel prices to supply chain and shortage issues for new cars. So which used vehicles were the most sought after in 2022? A new iSeeCars study looked at 9.8 million 1-to-5-year-old used-vehicle sales to find out. Turns out, as in previous years, Americans can't get enough of their large trucks.


“With more than 8% of the used car market occupied by the F-150, Silverado and Ram pickup there’s no denying America’s love affair with the trucks, despite their relatively low MPG numbers and the higher fuel prices we experienced in 2022,” said Karl Brauer, iSeeCars executive analyst. Here's a look at the top 10 used vehicles for last year, as well as average pricing according to iSeeCars.
