This chart shows trends in U.S. fleet composition by vehicle type weight categories in U.S.of light-duty vehicles from 1975 to 2018. The relative popularity of light trucks (including pickups, sport utility vehicles [SUVs], and vans) increased fairly steadily from the early 1980s through the mid-2000s. Following the oil price spikes of 1979 and 2008, there were notable decreases in the percentage of light trucks. Since 2013, light trucks have again been increasing in popularity and now receive their largest market share ever. See also Power and Fuel Economy of the Average Light-Duty Vehicle.
