Nope, the Model Y was the best selling vehicle in 2023, regardless of powertrain.

car, not vehicle. The best selling vehicle in the US in 2023 by a long shot is the Ford F-series truck.

Car and Driver also says the Rav4 outside the Model Y, fwiw.

Your article doesn't contradict their argument. Their link is for worldwide sales, yours is US only.

Further, that top spot is not for a specific Ford truck, but for all F-series trucks put together. That's an apples to oranges comparison.

Yeah, but there are standard ways to slice the pie. An equivalent approach would be comparing multiple Ford vehicles to Tesla’s entire lineup. They are about as similar to one another as Ford’s trucks are.
