Booming interest in trucks and SUVs, fueled by low gas prices, resulted in a record high 17.47 million light-vehicle sales in the U.S. last year.

The Ford F-series led truck sales for the 40th consecutive year, Toyota Camry was atop car sales for the 19th time in 20 years, the Honda CR-V for the fourth consecutive year was leader of SUV/crossover sales, and Toyota Sienna succeeded Chrysler Town & Country as minivan sales champ.

Sales of new Jeeps soared to 865,028 in 2015 from 692,348 the previous year, a rise of 25 percent.

The biggest jump in total sales by individual model during 2015 was 88,000 units by Nissan’s sharp-looking compact crossover, the Rogue, which increased from 199,199 the year before to 287,190 last year. Other big gains were 71,000 by the Chevy Silverado, 60,500 by the Chrysler 200, 48,000 by Toyota RAV4, 42,000 by Jeep Cherokee, 40,000 by Ford Mustang and 39,000 by Ford Explorer.
