Ford F-150 PowerBoost
Ford • USA 🇺🇸
America's best-selling vehicle for 47 consecutive years earns its crown — the PowerBoost hybrid delivers 430 hp, 12,700 lb towing, and 7.2 kW of on-board power generation for job site or campsite.
Ram 1500 Laramie
Ram • USA 🇺🇸
The truck that redefined what a pickup cabin could be — Ram's coil-spring rear suspension and Uconnect 12-inch system deliver a driving experience that shames most luxury SUVs.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ
Chevrolet • USA 🇺🇸
A no-nonsense full-size workhorse with 13 engine and bed configurations — the Silverado's turbocharged Duramax diesel option achieves 30 mpg highway while still pulling 13,300 lb.
Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro
Toyota • Japan 🇯🇵
The mid-size truck king gets its biggest overhaul in a decade for 2024 — new 2.4L turbocharged engine, available i-FORCE MAX hybrid, and Tacoma's legendary reliability record that regularly produces 300,000-mile examples.
Toyota Tundra i-FORCE MAX
Toyota • Japan 🇯🇵
Toyota's third-generation full-size truck ditches the old V8 for a twin-turbo V6 hybrid that produces 437 hp and 583 lb-ft — more torque than the outgoing V8 at better fuel economy.

GMC • USA 🇺🇸
The premium-positioned sibling to the Silverado targets the luxury truck segment with exclusive features that turn the work truck into a status symbol — Denali Ultimate is the most loaded production pickup ever built.
Ford Ranger Raptor
Ford • USA 🇺🇸
The performance off-road mid-sizer finally lands in America with 405 hp biturbo V6, FOX Racing shrapnel suspension, and a Baja-tested ride that makes the Tacoma TRD Pro feel tame.
Rivian R1T Quad Motor
Rivian • USA 🇺🇸
The electric adventure truck that Silicon Valley built — R1T's 835 hp quad-motor system, innovative Gear Tunnel storage, and 11,000 lb tow rating prove EV capability can exceed what gas trucks offer.
Ford F-150 Lightning
Ford • USA 🇺🇸
The electric F-150 that keeps everything contractors rely on the truck for — 2,235 lb payload, 10,000 lb tow, and 9.6 kW of bidirectional power that can run a house for up to 10 days during a power outage.
Chevrolet Colorado ZR2
Chevrolet • USA 🇺🇸
The most capable factory-built mid-size off-road truck in America — ZR2's Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear locking differentials, and 10.2-inch lift deliver rock-crawling performance without aftermarket modifications.
Ram 2500 Power Wagon
Ram • USA 🇺🇸
The heavy-duty off-road truck that was factory-built for extreme terrain — Power Wagon's disconnecting front sway bar, front and rear locking diffs, and 12,000 lb winch make it unstoppable in conditions that strand lesser trucks.
Ford F-250 Super Duty Tremor
Ford • USA 🇺🇸
The heavy-duty truck that combines 37,000 lb fifth-wheel tow rating with genuine off-road capability — Tremor off-road package adds lift, locking rear differential, and aggressive tires without sacrificing class-leading tow numbers.
Honda Ridgeline Black Edition
Honda • Japan 🇯🇵
The truck for people who don't want a truck — Ridgeline's unibody construction, car-like ride quality, and in-bed trunk make it the most practical mid-size pickup for buyers who prioritize daily comfort over extreme towing.
Jeep Gladiator Mojave
Jeep • USA 🇺🇸
The only mid-size convertible off-road truck on sale — Gladiator's removable doors and roof panels combine with Fox shocks to deliver an open-air desert driving experience you cannot get from any competing pickup.
GMC Canyon AT4X
GMC • USA 🇺🇸
GMC's most capable mid-size off-road truck ever pairs Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers with a 310 hp turbocharged engine and ground clearance that challenges trucks costing twice as much.
Nissan Frontier Pro-4X
Nissan • Japan 🇯🇵
The value mid-size truck that refuses to pretend it's a luxury vehicle — Pro-4X delivers genuine off-road credentials, a 3.8L V6 with a real 6-speed manual option, and one of the most affordable entry prices in the mid-size segment.
Ram TRX
Ram • USA 🇺🇸
The truck that retired the Raptor's performance crown — TRX's 702 hp supercharged HEMI V8 makes it the fastest production pickup on earth and the most dominant high-speed desert running machine money can buy.
