ATLANTA -

Trucks and SUVs, in general, made an impressive showing on Autotrader’s list of most popular certified pre-owned vehicles in June, but pickups were especially strong: they accounted for four of the top 10 spots.

The overall story out of Autotrader’s Trend Engine data analysis — which looks at monthly shopping activity on Autotrader.com — certainly revolved around how attractive trucks and SUVs have become in the CPO market.

Two of the big reasons Autotrader.com saw such strong CPO traction in June were easy fuel costs (they were at a five-year low) and a robust economy.

“Americans’ love affair with large SUVs and trucks has been fueled by several factors, from low prices at the pump to the bustling economy,” said Michelle Krebs, senior analyst at Autotrader. “In addition to cheap gas driving people to larger — and less fuel-efficient — new and used vehicles, the recent uptick in housing starts and construction puts people back to work who need trucks for their jobs.

“Steadier employment also means people are using SUVs for not only work but also recreation. A growing pool of certified pre-owned models enable them to get into quality vehicles at a pre-owned price but with the peace of mind that warranties provide.”

 Breaking down the top 20 CPO vehicles in June on Autotrader.com, there were five trucks and five large SUVs.

And, again, four of those truck models (the Ford F-150 at No. 1, the Chevrolet Silverado at No. 2, the GMC Sierra C/K 1500 at No. 9, and the Toyota Tacoma at No. 10) managed to rank in the top 10.

Meanwhile, the most popular CPO SUV was the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which ranked No. 5 on the overall list.
