Which State Has the Most Pickup Truck?

Pickup trucks are becoming increasingly popular in the United States, with many people choosing them as their primary mode of transportation. But which state has the most pickups?

According to a recent report by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Texas is the state that owns the most pickups in the country. The Lone Star State had an estimated 1.7 million trucks registered in 2019, which is more than double that of any other state. This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, considering Texas is known for its wide open spaces and rural areas, which makes owning a truck especially useful for farmers and ranchers.

Not too far behind Texas on the list is California, with an estimated 800,000 pickup trucks registered in 2019. This makes sense given that California is one of the largest states in terms of population and land area, so it stands to reason that there would be a lot of pickups on its roads and highways.

Rounding out the top five states for pickup truck ownership are Florida (600,000), Pennsylvania (400,000) and Ohio (300,000). All five of these states have large populations and lots of rural areas where pickup trucks can be extremely helpful for everyday tasks such as hauling hay or transporting goods from one location to another.

Conclusion

It’s no surprise that Texas has the most pickup trucks registered in the United States – with its large population and rural areas where pickups can be extremely useful for everyday tasks – but it’s interesting to see that California comes in close second with 800,000 registered pickups. Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio also make up part of this list with their own respective numbers of registered pickups.
