alt Hacker NewsSUVs are the most popular body type in America, not pickups.
Pickups always top the "best selling model" list, but there are only a couple models of pickup and dozens of models of SUV. If you total up all the SUVs, they sell much better than pickups.
That may be, but it remains true that pickups are extremely popular. They are not even slightly a niche vehicle, they are broadly popular.
