The Most Reliable Trucks for 2025

Trucks are the workhorses of America and are some of the most popular vehicles on the road. Many Americans depend on them for daily transportation, work and play, making reliability an important factor when deciding which new truck to buy. Below, Edmunds lists the 10 most reliable trucks in today's market. Heavy-duty trucks aren't included. The following models were chosen based on the most recent J.D. Power Dependability Study, RepairPal data, and Consumer Reports' reliability predictions.

We should note that this data covers predicted reliability because the trucks below are still new models. The way an owner cares for his or her vehicle can also impact its reliability, which is a factor we cannot account for.

The trucks on this list are ranked by their Edmunds Rating, which is our test team's overall impression of the truck. In the case of a tie, the truck with the higher reliability score is ranked higher. So before you decide on your next truck, make sure to see if it made the list and where it stands in our rankings.

2025 Ford Ranger

The Ford Ranger is not only our highest-rated truck, but it also touts some of the highest reliability scores of all the trucks on this list. Completely redesigned for 2024, the latest model is significantly better than the previous generation. The Ranger offers two main engine options: a turbocharged four-cylinder and a turbocharged V6. These potent engines help provide strong towing and payload capacities.

But there's more to the Ranger than just power. The midsize truck also offers a smooth ride and top-notch tech features that are easy to use. Its driver assist features worked well during testing and weren't distracting. The Ranger also has a high-quality interior and handles well for a truck. To top it off, the 405-horsepower off-road-specced Ranger Raptor is available for folks with larger budgets. However, the Ranger is only offered in one cab and bed configuration, which is one of our few quibbles.

Edmunds Rating: 8.2 (out of 10)
Starting price: $34,575

2025 Ram 1500

The Ram 1500 boasts the highest RepairPal and Consumer Reports reliability scores for large trucks. It ties the Ford F-150 as the best large truck in our rankings but is placed higher on this list because of its superior reliability scores. The Ram doesn't offer as many engine options or features as the F-150, but it touts the most comfortable ride in its class, a spacious cabin with the most rear legroom, clever storage options, and an interior that sports a premium look and feel on higher trims. But we wish the truck had higher payload and towing capacities and a more modern infotainment system.

The Ram 1500 hasn't been redesigned since 2019, but its 2025 refresh brought an updated engine lineup, a new hands-free driving system, a new range-topping luxurious Tungsten model, and a new rugged RHO off-road model.

Edmunds Rating: 8.1 (out of 10)
Starting price: $42,270 (Quad Cab)

2025 Chevrolet Colorado

The Chevrolet Colorado is one of our top midsize trucks, falling just behind the Ranger by the slimmest margin. We like its strong TurboMax engine, class-leading towing capacity, comfort and Google-based infotainment system. But its base engine is down on power and the rear seats aren't very comfortable. The Colorado was overhauled for 2023, and the capable ZR2 off-road model was introduced for 2024.

As for reliability, the Colorado sits toward the bottom of the midsize truck pack. Though the majority of its trim levels are off-road-oriented, the Colorado drives and handles well for a truck, rides smoothly, and delivers competitive fuel efficiency. As with most midsize trucks, the Colorado is only offered as a four-door crew cab with a short bed. The closely related and more luxurious GMC Canyon shares the same Edmunds Rating but slightly lower reliability scores.

Edmunds Rating: 8.1 (out of 10)
Starting price: $33,495

2025 Ford F-150

The Ford F-150 is a sales leader for a reason; there's a model for just about everyone. Whether you want a simple work truck, a powerful and efficient hybrid, a supercharged off-road beast, or an all-electric model, the F-150 has you covered. The F-150 was completely redesigned for the 2021 model year, but a 2024 refresh included updated styling, improved tech, and a new potent base engine.

The F-150 is one of our highest-rated trucks thanks to its wide selection of engines, class-leading towing, and payload capacities, excellent tech features such as the handy towing assist, and the available Pro Power Onboard system. The optional BlueCruise hands-free driving system can be helpful on long highway trips. When it comes to reliability, however, the F-150 is below average in the large truck class.

Edmunds Rating: 8.1 (out of 10)
Starting price: $40,705 (regular cab)

2025 Toyota Tundra

The Tundra sits in the middle of our large truck ratings, and it's a solid choice for those who don't need serious towing or hauling duties. Like all large trucks, the Tundra offers multiple cab and bed configurations but has only two engine options: a base turbocharged V6 and an optional, more powerful hybrid powertrain that uses the same turbocharged V6.

The Tundra features smooth and powerful engines, an optional 14-inch touchscreen, a comfortable ride, and a composite bed that limits dents, scratches, and rust. The truck also comes standard with a long list of advanced driver aids, which is rare for the class. On the downside, it lacks any clever tailgate features, and the standard engine performed poorly during our fuel economy testing. Its reliability ratings are mixed. It topped the 2024 J.D. Power study but, according to Consumer Reports, is one of the least reliable large trucks for 2025.

Edmunds Rating: 8.0 (out of 10)
Starting price: $42,035 (Double Cab)

2025 Honda Ridgeline

Many truck shoppers overlook the Ridgeline because of its unibody construction instead of a traditional body-on-frame. This design limits its towing and payload capacities as well as its off-road capability. In styling, it isn't as muscular or rugged-looking as its midsize truck rivals either.

But those shoppers should know the Ridgeline is near the top of the list when it comes to reliability. And thanks to its unibody design, it's more comfortable, handles better, and is more spacious than its rivals. The Honda's towing and payload capacities are also sufficient for most average truck owners.

The Ridgeline is only available as a four-door crew cab with a short bed. It's one of the few midsize trucks that's powered by a V6. All-wheel drive is standard. While a new off-road model called the TrailSport was introduced for the 2024 model year, the current Ridgeline is starting to show its age and will likely get redesigned soon.

Edmunds Rating: 7.9 (out of 10)
Starting price: $41,545

2025 GMC Sierra 1500

The Sierra sits near the bottom of Edmunds' large truck ratings but it has above-average reliability. It is a solid truck, but it's up against some fierce competition.

The GMC truck offers plenty of body cab and bed configurations to choose from and more than enough trim levels with varying price points. It also offers several engine choices, including a fuel-efficient turbodiesel, an option that most truck makers have recently discontinued. The Sierra also boasts impressive towing capacities, a larger bed size than most rivals, and a large optional 13.4-inch touchscreen that displays an impressive Google-based infotainment system.

On the downside, the Sierra is less comfortable and pricier than its rivals. The GMC also lacks a powerful off-road model that can compete with the Ford F-150 Raptor R. Its corporate cousin, the more utilitarian Chevrolet Silverado, has slightly lower Edmunds and reliability ratings.

Edmunds Rating: 7.7 (out of 10)
Starting price: $40,295 (regular cab)

2025 Toyota Tacoma

The Tacoma used to be the king of reliability, but its latest reliability ratings have taken a nosedive. Although the Tacoma topped the 2024 J.D. Power study for midsize trucks, it's now one of the least reliable midsize trucks, according to the latest data from Consumer Reports and RepairPal.

Despite the lower reliability scores, the Tacoma's 2024 redesign significantly improved the truck thanks to a new engine lineup, upgraded tech, a beefier look and a much-improved interior. Unlike its midsize rivals, the Tacoma offers multiple cab and bed configurations and an available manual transmission. It's powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that's offered in two states of tune or by a hybrid powertrain that's one of the most powerful engines in its class.

While it doesn't top our midsize truck rankings, the Tacoma is a very well-rounded truck that offers various configurations and many models for all budgets. Its lineup consists of many off-road trim levels ranging from the two-door TRD PreRunner to the top-spec and very capable Trailhunter.

Edmunds Rating: 7.7 (out of 10)
Starting price: $32,995 (2024 price)

2025 Jeep Gladiator

The Gladiator is the oddball of the list because it's the only truck based on an off-road-ready SUV, the Wrangler, and it's also the only convertible truck on the list. As with most of its midsize rivals, the Gladiator is only available as a four-door crew cab with a short bed. Engine options include a V6 or a plug-in hybrid powertrain that's new for 2025.

Jeep's truck was introduced in 2019, and it received a larger touchscreen, a restyled grille and side curtain airbags as part of its 2024 refresh. Like the Wrangler, most of Gladiator's drawbacks come from its off-road-oriented design. The truck doesn't handle well, isn't comfortable, and provides subpar acceleration and fuel economy. On the upside, you can depend on its off-road prowess when things get rough, and its rear seat space is among the largest in its class. And don't forget, you can have a soft top or hardtop and cruise with the doors off. As for reliability, it has average ratings.

Edmunds Rating: 7.6 (out of 10)
Starting price: $39,995

2025 Nissan Frontier

The Frontier has never been a class leader and is below average when it comes to reliability, but it's still a solid midsize truck you should consider, especially with its 2025 refresh. The updates include a restyled front end, a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, and the availability of two cab sizes and two bed lengths, which isn't common for the class. The midsize pickup also gets a higher towing capacity for 2025.

The Frontier doesn't stand out in any category, but it is comfortable, provides secure handling, and is pretty affordable. It's also powered by a robust V6 engine. However, it has overly heavy steering and a tight rear seat, and some of the Frontier's controls and instrument panel menus could benefit from a reorganization.

Edmunds Rating: 7.6 (out of 10)
Starting price: $33,560 (King Cab)

Edmunds says

Since these vehicles are brand-new, their reliability has yet to be rated, but the above list will give you a good idea of how reliable a 2025 model will likely be. If you're shopping for a used midsize truck, the Ford Ranger and Honda Ridgeline currently have the best reliability scores. As for large trucks, the Ram 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 are the top models. But as with any used vehicle, make sure it's been properly maintained by asking the seller or dealership for the truck's service records.
