1. 2012 Chevrolet Silverado
Not surprisingly, Family Auto sold a pickup truck the most in 2021.

Most visitors picked this truck instead of a used SUV.
2. 2010 Toyota Highlander
A full-size SUV was not far behind in our best-seller list. The reason to buy the 2010 Highlander was the same for most people – more cargo space with the third-row down which will help to fit more groceries during the weekends. But being a Toyota, the 2010 Highlander has another massive benefit – reliability. No other SUV can match Toyota’s reliability scores in the segment. And combined with Family Auto’s 2 years/36,000 miles warranty, the used car became irresistible.
