Remember affordable trucks? Tell us about the trusty pickups you've owned and which one it best resembles on our list. Bonus points if you still have it!

The best truck is a used truck that has been cared for. The worst is a new truck that you need a mafia loan to afford.

I loved my 2019 Ram Limited, equipped with air suspension. Some issues cropped up, yet most of them were covered under warranty. Ram gave me the best value for my money with an unbeatable interior.

Where is 60k affordable? Get in touch with your audience.

Never bought a new truck, but have had good experiences with my Fords and a Tacoma. Currently in a 2015 F-150 which has been faultless so far.

Can’t imagine spending this type of new truck money. Would love to, but I’d have to be making double what I earn now to feel comfortable with that.

Nissan Frontier 20.9 mpg at 10k with a freeway trip at 28.7 mpg. 1500 lb payload. Can see the cost saving in plastics of the interior, but hell it's a truck. The only issue is the driver seats like to recline once and while for no reason over night. On the positive is no issues great work truck with great mileage return from a v6 without engine stop or cylinder deactivation. Oh purchased it for 43k out the door, not bad in today crazy market.

[clioangelo]

Maybe the Nissan Frontier 2022 should be on the list

Does the title imply there will be a "best trucks over $60k" video? Wait, why are trucks $60k in the first place; that is the question we have to ask...and are you actually getting what you pay (ing out the as s) for?

As for the Gladiator, it is very narrow/tight inside. I'm not big, but I kept hitting my elbows on the door and arm rest driving around town. The seats felt like I was sitting in an airplane. Then there was the wind noise from the windshield...

[mlauri]

Don’t know what market your basing this on but some of those prices are way off in my area.

[rrE]

Odd that the Gladiator would make this list when pricing is super steep on Jeeps. Especially when the Frontiers sales numbers are skyrocketing.

[Pro_A_]

Nothing about maintenence cost 10 years/ 120k ..? This was just a commercial.

[ms]

Man if you can find a silverado for under 60 k let me know🤣🤣🤣 im going for that ford or that tundra!

[dcman]

You can still get trucks for under $60k? Wow I’m amazed lmao

[benjones]

Thank goodness I bought my Tacoma TRD 2019 under 40 K. 😜

[ItsAlive]

So, no love for Ford Ranger? Chevy Colorado? GMC Canyon?

[AndrewMalkin]

They should all be under $60k. It's a dang truck.

[SEEKERONE]

Well I guess I will continue to ride my bicycle.

[stevemit]

Definitely the Ford F-150 Lighting EV!

[davestamand]

Did these guy forget about the current market. Every single them are at least 60k trucks, before the dealer markups. Wtf is that list?

[FATmenDRIVEtrucks]

There is no best truck we live on a planet with gravity best to respect it
