50M vs 43M vs 37M: the all-time podium

Corolla (50M+ since 1966) tops Ford's F-Series (43M+) and VW's Golf (37M) — the only nameplates ever to get near the 40-million club.

The top 3

  1. Corolla: sole member of the 50-million club: Toyota passed 50 million Corollas in 2021 across 12 generations — it has been the best-selling nameplate in history since overtaking the VW Beetle in 1997.
  2. F-Series: 43 million trucks, one unbroken streak: At 43M+ sold worldwide the F-Series is No. 2 of all time — and it has been America's best-selling truck every year since 1977 and best-selling vehicle since 1981.
  3. Golf: the heir that outsold the Beetle: VW's Golf has sold 37 million since 1974 — comfortably beating the legendary Beetle's lifetime 21.5 million, but still 13M behind the Corolla.
