Most Researched Cars: January 2026
A new year brings us plenty of surprises on our monthly rankings of the most researched cars in America.
We’ve grown accustomed to seeing full-size pickup trucks dominate both the sales race and this list of the most researched vehicles, and, not surprisingly, there’s a truck at the top of the rankings from January. There’s a big truck in third, and another down in fifth. You’re probably going to be surprised to see which pickups fell into which spots.
Top 10 Vehicles Researched In January 2026: |
|---|
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 |
Toyota RAV4 |
Ram 1500 |
Hyundai Palisade |
Ford F-150 |
GMC Sierra 1500 |
Toyota Camry |
Ram 2500 |
Hyundai Tucson |
Chevrolet Equinox |
Chevy’s Silverado 1500 has led this list for several months now, and its platform-mate from GMC, the Sierra 1500, also finds itself firmly in the top 10. Half of the vehicles on the list are trucks, which continues the trend we saw all of last year. What’s surprising is that the Ford F-150, the best-selling member of the best-selling F-Series lineup, is all the way down in fifth place.
Seeing the Ram 2500 lead the heavy-duty class is also noteworthy. If we were to continue counting, the next HD truck would be the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD in 18th, followed by the GMC Sierra 2500HD at 21st on the list, which was compiled using data provided exclusively to AutoGuide via AutoFinder.com — an automotive marketplace featuring over 3 million new and used vehicle listings, connecting consumers with top dealerships nationwide to easily find and secure the best deal on a car, truck, or SUV.
As has been the case for many months now, the Toyota Camry is the lone sedan to land in the top 10. The remaining four are crossover SUVs, led in second place by the Toyota RAV4. The Hyundai Palisade was recently redesigned and has surged into the top 10 over the past few months, as well.
