The Dodge Durango is no longer the body-on-frame SUV which routinely attracts more than 100,000 buyers per year. But Dodge is on pace to sell more than 80,000 Durangos in 2016, the highest figure since 2005. 

The Toyota 4Runner, meanwhile, does resemble the Explorer, Highlander, or Durango under the skin. The 4Runner is a true blue body-on-frame sport-utility vehicle, the kind of vehicle which long ago went out of fashion, right? In 2016, 4Runner sales are on track to rise to the highest level since 1999.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you'll see the Outback and Venza here but also with midsize cars, too, and the pricey FJ Cruiser and Xterra with smaller utilities and the Volkswagen Touareg with luxury SUVs... because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
