There is NO best truck !!! If ya work hard for your vehicle and it works good for ya it’s the best one out there ✌🏻

I finally let my 2002 F150 go last June and bought a new 2023 Nissan Titan Pro4X. I love it! It's a fantastic truck! Quiet, comfortable, powerful, and sort of old school without stop/start, without cylinder deactivation, and still has hydraulic steering. It ain't the best on gas but I'm retired and don't drive all that much any more. The 400hp 32 valve V8 has a lot of torque that you feel running around town.

Seeing some comments, I don’t understand the brand loyalty thing. I think manufacturers need to earn your trust every year with better products and the truth is, they all have made great trucks and they have made lemons too. Don’t buy based on brand. Go test each truck and do your research on them.

I have a 2023 GMC SIERRA SLT with the LZ0 and it has 11, 000 miles on it and is just turning 1 year old. This truck was assembled in Mexico and the fit and finish was excellent. Average fuel economy is 28.0 mpg (hand calculated). I’ve had zero issues with this truck. It’s quiet, comfortable and has plenty of power. I also have a 2003 Silverado 2500 with the 6.0 liter gas motor and this has been an excellent truck as well. My ‘86 Ford F250 I kept for 23 years and was a good truck except for the front suspension. My motto has always been take care of your vehicles and most likely they will take care of you. Happy Holidays.

Good summary Tim! Funny how folks think a certain brand is bad. All of these new trucks are pretty awesome. I grew up with a 3/4 ton ‘78 GMC, then my 1988 Chevy S-10. I didn’t have a (new) modern truck again until 2021, when I bought the 2014 Ram Outdoorsman trim. I was thoroughly impressed how far trucks came with just that 4th gen Ram. Then I bought the 2022 Ram Laramie that I stopped by to show you. WOW! I drive it pretty much daily and I’m still Amazed how nice it is. It’s fun to keep up with all the new trucks news and updates. Thanks!

P.S….still dreaming of getting a TRX, probably not a trx. 😢

I have GMC denali 6.2. I had a preformance shop delete the afm. 420 hp. I'm 66 and love it. Average 24.5 at 77 mph 150 mile trip.

The best one is a paid off affordable truck.

This is 30mins of my life I will never get back!

[DarthMWAL]

Welp - I just put down on a Platinum Reserve Titan. CANNOT BEAT THAT V8, the reliability and the ride is lovely. Is it a tad dated -sure. Do I care? No, less to to worry about, and i'll be driving it for miles if I want to, and I won't be in the shop every year. Good luck !

Man Tim, it seems like all these trucks are amazing. After driving near 2, 000, 000, 000 miles in pickups.. starting back in the 1970’s, there just isn’t a bad choice.

For me, it’s the pricing that really bothers me.

I did some research. The President at Ford motor company made $400, 000 total compensation in 1980. that was about 10x the middle management pay average. Today, the CEO often earns $25, 000, 000+. This is about 250, 300 X the income of the average middle management employee today.

If we look at the the top 30 senior executives incomes, you’re looking at near $1.000, 000, 000. This has to play a role in these massive high prices.

My top 3 trucks I wouldn't mind buying (not in order), Ford F-150, Toyota Tundra, and Chevy Silverado. My dad has an 2009 F-150 bought new no issues, I have a Camry but if I were to get a truck it'll be the silverado for sure!!!

[Red_Bearded_Dad]

I think some truck brands do a good job of offering decent equipment at the low end. Buyers should really start at the bottom and really spend some time thinking about what they must have instead of what looks cool. I bought a new 2023 F150 XL SuperCrew with a few upgrades. Nope it doesnt have somethings. No heated seats, no sun roof... but it has blind spot monitoring, back up sensors, CarPlay/Android Auto and comfy cloth seats. I love it. Oh, the thing I like most: It has a tailgate that only does normal tailgate things. Like opening with a handle.

[lylesorenson]

Thanks for all you do Tim. All of the info you put out is appreciated.

[johnmorris]

Thanks for comparing features but that’s exactly what all the other journalists do. What I really want to know is which one rides the smoothest, which one has the best steering, which one corners the best, which one feels the most spacious, which one handles a moderate payload or tow load the best, if you had to have 1 for the next 5 years which one would you choose. That’s the type of info I want to know and I watch video after video and nobody speaks on any of it except power mpg and tfl does good on the towing.
And someone will comment saying go drive them yourself. Yea I have and I will but I want to do research before I’m at the dealer so I know what things to look for and I’m not test driving until I’m ready to write a check for 65k

[nareshangelia-sookrajjr.]

$60, 000 RST truck is the volume best selling model dang that sounds pretty high

[emanuelbrister]

We all know Ford is the best, I have a 94 F-350 7.3 5 speed dual rear wheels, a 85 F-250 6.9 and a 05 F-150 5.4, I love them all.

[Gibsonfan]

I first bought a 2012 f150 fx2 5.0, then traded it in for a 2014 f150 king ranch 5.0, that got destroyed by tree falling on it a month later. I got a 2014 fx4 5.0 that i traded in a year ago for a 2023 f150 5.0 lariat.

11 years of F150s with zero trips to the mechanic, besides tires. I hope they keep the 5.0. Its reliable.

[jarbarian]

I bought the 2024 Tundra Limited TRD 4x4. LOVE IT! To me, quality/reliability/resale matter to me, and that is where Toyota always comes in first!

[fscottgray]

The GM 2, 7 engine and the 8 speed were updated in 2022. I have this combo in 2 trucks and really like how well they work.

[misadventuresoferic]

I waited for the 3rd year production Tundra for a reason. SR5 4x4 as i don’t really need all the bling. I already have a serious off-road vehicle. Will stay stock for now. Will be eyeballing the 3rd year Taco.
