Best Large trucks

Large trucks are among the most versatile vehicles on the market, delivering impressive comfort and tech along with serious workhorse credentials. No wonder they're so popular.

1st
Edmunds Rating
8.2/10
With hundreds of available configurations, you'll have an easy time finding a Ford F-150 that meets your needs. Class-leading towing and payload capacities make it a top pick for work or play, while the trail-busting Raptor is an icon by itself.
MSRP
$37,450 - $79,005
Combined MPG
16 - 21

8.1/10
The Ram 1500 boasts strong turbocharged power, a classy cabin and a smooth ride quality. It isn't the best truck for work but if you're looking for something to drive daily or don't need to tow massive loads, the Ram's appeal is undeniable.
MSRP
$40,275 - $87,075
Combined MPG
15 - 23
3rd
Edmunds Rating
8.0/10
The latest Tundra pickup has improved in every aspect. The turbo V6 and 10-speed automatic deliver a powerful and smooth driving experience, and the optional 14-inch infotainment touchscreen looks great in the tightly constructed cabin. Real-world fuel economy is disappointing, but otherwise, this is a well-rounded truck for the money.
MSRP
$40,090 - $80,725
Combined MPG
19 - 22
4th
Edmunds Rating
7.6/10
The Sierra plays to a more affluent audience with exclusive features, but it might not be enough to stake out a different fate than its Silverado brother.
MSRP
$38,300 - $84,200
Combined MPG
16 - 23
$359/mo lease found!
This exceptionally rare deal is $190 below typical
5th
Edmunds Rating
7.5/10
The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a versatile full-size pickup that can be a competent workhorse and a plush people-mover at the same time. However, this jack-of-all-trades truck doesn't excel in any particular area.
MSRP
$37,000 - $70,000
Combined MPG
8 - 21
6th
Edmunds Rating
7.1/10
The Titan has a standard V8 engine, a comfortable cabin and enough towing capacity for most jobs. But It doesn't have enough personality to make up for the lack of choice in powertrains, features and body styles that rivals offer.
MSRP
$46,040 - $63,020
Combined MPG
16 - 17

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
$45,300 - $78,065
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
