Best Heavy-duty trucks

Heavy-duty trucks are immensely capable workhorses that live to tow. They trade some comfort for outright strength, though there's still plenty of luxury on tap.

1st
Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
The Ford F-250 Super Duty is impressive. It has massive towing and payload capability and a cleverly designed interior. It's also comfortable, reasonably quiet, and easy to drive. Our biggest issue is the price, which can eclipse six figures on higher-spec trims.
MSRP
$44,970 - $97,295
2nd
Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
With a coil-spring suspension that keeps it well-mannered on the pavement, plus a range of powerful engines, the Ram 2500 is both a capable heavy-duty truck and a companionable daily driver.
MSRP
$45,250 - $87,030
3rd
Edmunds Rating
7.6/10
The Chevrolet Silverado 2500 is a smooth-operating heavy-duty pickup that costs thousands less than the competition. If you really need to tow and are OK with an interior that features fewer premium materials than rivals, the Silverado 2500 HD becomes a compelling option.
MSRP
$45,300 - $73,100
