How Wyoming compares to the national picture

Wyoming sits #51 of 51 jurisdictions (THIN; thinner third of the book). Absolute counts are small enough that one popular nameplate moves the ranking - open the model pages linked above rather than reading the state headline alone. Inside this extract the Ford F-150 leads Wyoming volume; check whether that nameplate's local share exceeds its national share before calling a regional pattern.

A note on self-reported state data

The state field on each NHTSA complaint is supplied by the consumer at filing; there is no mandatory check that the owner filed from their registration state, nor that the incident occurred in Wyoming. A a Wyoming resident reporting a purchase made elsewhere still tags here. NHTSA does not deduplicate by VIN across years. Treat Wyoming's THIN ranking as directional and open the model pages linked above.
