Trucks are built to serve a purpose. They are the workhorses of the automotive world. But light duty pickups are designed to pull double-duty, hauling gear to the worksite, or bringing the little one’s to school. That means these trucks have to be as comfortable and accommodating as they are rugged and capable. Many of these trucks are capable of towing well over 10,000 pounds, and are still available with features like leather heated seats, navigation, and in some cases, massaging seats! The variety in features and capabilities offered is vast, so we’re going to help navigate you through the options in the pickup market.

Here are the light duty, full-size pickup truck options. Click on each to learn more:

The Options

For decades, trucks were mostly the same. Changes came few and far between, and included things like electronic fuel injection, antilock brakes, airbags, etc. In the last decade, the entire car market has advanced tremendously– and that includes trucks. You can now get trucks with the latest touch screen navigation systems (also called “infotainment”), air suspensions, and cameras on all four sides. Some trucks are now available the latest safety technology such as blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and even forward collision avoidance systems. Read on to learn about the various options in the market.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500: The Capable Classic

The Silverado has some of the most recognizable styling in the truck segment, but it’s more than just an iconic face. The Silverado 1500 has some seriously helpful and well-thought-out features. From infotainment and safety tech to real-world utility features out back in the truck bed, it’s a truck designed with everyday usability in mind.

Ford F-150: High-Tech Hauler

The 2017 Ford F-150 accommodates both the worksite user and weekend warrior with some of the most noteworthy advancements in the truck market. From infotainment and smartphone connectivity, to an aluminum construction and tech features for towing, the F-150 has carved out its place as the most advanced truck in the segment. Whatever your needs are, there is a configuration of the F-150 that fits the bill. But some of these advancements have downsides, like the big question of the longterm pros and cons of the aluminum construction. Will that outweigh the benefits?

GMC Sierra 1500: The Luxury Pickup

The 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 is a very close sibling to the Chevrolet Silverado. They are nearly identical mechanically, and differ mainly on price-point, and which features you can get at a particular price. Given how close these trucks are, we had to dig deep into each truck to find major differences. In a nutshell, GMC takes the higher starting price and includes more stuff in the base, which in turn affects price.

Nissan Titan: The Comeback Kid

The Titan has received the ultimate makeover for 2017. The truck that was almost forgotten when shopping for pickups is completely redesigned for the 2017 model year. The new truck is wholly far more competent than its predecessor. And who is this new truck for? Well, Nissan is having a hard time with that. The simple answer is that it is an ideal truck for first-time truck owners– long odds on getting many Chevy or Ford truck owners to switch. But if this is your first full-size truck, the Titan would be an excellent choice. However Nissan offers near-heavy-duty model that has more towing than most of the light duty pickup trucks, and yet is not really a heavy duty pickup.

Ram 1500: Commanding, yet Comfortable

If you’ve never owned a full-size truck, there is a bit of a learning curve. The size, the controls, the monthly fuel costs will all be new to you. The Ram 1500 is arguably the best choice for first-time truck owners, and offers plenty for those who have owned many trucks throughout the years. It has manageable proportions, tons of cargo options, and its instruments are set up in such a way that the average car-buyer can hop behind the wheel and be right at home. The Ram 1500 is capable of many things for the die-hard truck user, but for the weekend warrior, it is just as good.

Toyota Tundra: Admirable Also-Ran

In 2007, the Toyota Tundra was one of the most advanced pickups on the market, and put trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado and Ford F-150 on notice. It delivered some of the latest tech and comfort features, and did so in a contemporary design. But ten years on, and the Tundra is the oldest pickup on the market. It is still a competitive truck, but shows its age in various ways. It has also carved out a niche as being a weekend warrior truck more than anything else. Sure, there are are worksite-ready versions of this truck, but the Tundra is a commuter truck above all else– and for some buyers, that’s just what they need from their pickup.

Things to Consider When Buying

The first question you need to ask yourself is, “How am I going to be using this truck?” For some, that means using it as a commuter vehicle and the occasional trip to the home improvement store or campsite. For others, this truck will be for getting to the worksite and will do plenty of towing and hauling. It is important to remember that for many, this truck will pull double-duty; and can see a construction site, school yard, and PTA meeting in one day. And the trucks featured here will need to address all of these needs.

How Safe/Reliable Is It?

Trucks endure far more punishment than your typical family sedan. For the average road car, reliability means making sure you’re never stuck on the side of the road. For trucks, it means being up to whatever task you ask of it for years to come. Some models are capable of more punishment than others, and we’ll help you pick out the right one for the job.

Which Truck Has the Best Seating/Cab Layout

In basic layout, trucks come in a finite number of bed/cab configurations. Single cab, extended cab, and quad cab are paired to short bed, standard bed, and long bed in various combinations. Some trucks offer more variations than others. The ones that offer the most configurations (Ford F-150, Silverado, Sierra) are the most associated with work duty.

How Much Can You Tow/Haul?

Many of the attributes discussed in this buying guide are subjective. They are being disseminated by experts, but experts still have biases. Towing and hauling figures are completely objective. Some trucks tow more than others, and the numbers don’t lie.

Which Truck Has the Best Features?

And at the right price? What seems like a must-have feature could push you outside of your budget. What might be an optional feature on one van might be standard on another.

Which Truck Has the Best Technology?

Some might laugh at this, citing that trucks are meant to be simple. But those folks don’t know what they are missing out on. From the latest infotainment to cameras that help you tow and park, the technology that is available in trucks today is there to make your job easier.

Features Winners and Losers

#2 (tied) GMC Sierra 1500 (Best Features)
#2 (tied) Ram 1500 (Lowest Price)
#4 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

#6 Toyota Tundra

The Ford F-150 has the second lowest base price of any truck on this list ($26,540), second to the Ram 1500 ($26,395). But unlike the Ram, the F-150 has a much higher ceiling in terms of available features. The GMC Sierra Denali is one of the most luxurious trucks you can buy, but doesn’t offer as low a price on its base truck. The F-150 gives you the option of spartan or sophisticated.

Ford F-150: $26,540-$63,025

From option packages to bold special editions, there are plenty of ways to outfit an F-150. (Source: Ford)

With a starting price of $26,540, the F-150 has the second-most affordable starting price in the truck segment, edged out by the Ram 1500 but only a couple hundred dollars. That makes it a great work truck, especially if you’re buying fleets of these things at its low price point. The F-150 also has an amazing list of options and special packages, but be prepared to pay much more than the base price. In fact, it doesn’t take much to double that price and more when you start selecting packages.

The XLT is where some basic creature comforts start to arrive, and the Lariat is where many of the upscale features come on. The Limited and Platinum easily delve into “luxury truck” territory.

The cabin of the Silverado feels more like a living room than a car interior. There is plenty of head and leg room for both front and rear seat passengers. The large center console makes for a great center armrest to lean on, and it opens up to a ton of storage space. Well-equipped models have the feel of a den or man-cave, with leather, chrome, and woodgrain accents. The quality of materials and fit and finish, combined with the reduction of NVH (noise-vibration-harshness), results in an experience closer to a luxury SUV than a work truck

GMC Sierra 1500: $28,205-$55,000+

Just about anything you can get on a Silverado, you can get on a Sierra. If GMC comes out with a model, package, trim, or feature, there is definitely a Chevy version of that within a year. And vice versa. Dealers hate to say “No” when asked if you can get a specific truck with a specific feature. In the interest of keeping you at the dealer, it is much better for them to offer everything and give you, the consumer, the power of choice.

Nissan put their time in, learning how folks use their trucks in order to provide buyers with many thoughtful features.

The F-150 is the only truck here that earns a Top Safety Pick accolade from the IIHS. It is available with many of the latest safety technologies that you would find in a family sedan. Available blind spot monitoring watches where you might not be able to see on the road, and rear cross traffic alert will let you know if a car is approaching from either side when backing out of a parking spot or driveway. The F-150 is also available with forward collision warning. As the video above shows, sensors can determine if you’re closing in on a vehicle or object ahead too quickly and will alert you. It can also pre-charge the brakes to help stop the truck more quickly, but will not brake on its own.

Which Truck Tows the Most?

#5 Ram 1500 5.7L (10,640 lbs.)
#6 Toyota Tundra 5.7L (10,500 lbs.)

The Silverado and Sierra are the two top towers in 2017. Each are able to pull up to 12,500 pounds when properly equipped and fitted with the 6.2-liter V8. Quite impressively, the Ford F-150 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 is the next closest, at 12,200 pounds when properly equipped. Nissan’s Titan XD with the 5.0L Diesel V8 can tow more than the GM trucks, but Nissan is picking and choosing when this truck is light duty and when it’s not. We can’t give the towing crown to the Titan on these grounds.

Which Truck Drives and Handles the Best?

Driving Winners and Losers

#1 Ram 1500
#2 Ford F-150
#3 Chevrolet Silverado
#4 GMC Sierra
#5 Nissan Titan
#6 Toyota Tundra

The ride quality of trucks has improved greatly in the last ten years, and while the lighter F-150 is very agile for a pickup, the air suspension in the Ram 1500 makes it the best handling pickup in the segment. The ride has been described as best-in-class, and is closer to a car or SUV than any truck has in the past.

(city/highway/combined)

RWD: 15/22/18
4WD: 15/21/17

PROS: EcoBoost V6 is the towing king in the lineup, rather than the engine with the most displacement. Available with impressive high-tech towing aids. F-150’s light weight makes it more agile than other trucks, and yet still feels firmly planted.
CONS: Choice of engines and capability overlaps can be overwhelming when deciding which engine to go with.
What Critics are Saying: As CarGurus puts it, “At all times, the aluminum-bodied F-150 Limited feels lighter, smaller, and more nimble than you’d ever guess by its dimensions.”

PROS: The 5.3 offers a good blend of performance and efficiency, and the range-topping 6.2 is a sturdy stump-puller of and engine that offers 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque.
CONS: the V6 is a little underwhelming, and might only be a viable option in the single cab/short bed
What Critics are Saying: “In fact,” As The Car Connection points out, “With its well-tuned ride and responsive handling, it’s perhaps the most pleasant of all the full-size trucks from the driver’s seat.” That’s a ringing endorsement.

PROS: With or without the optional air suspension, it has the smoothest ride and handling among all full size pickup trucks. All engines provide decent acceleration.
CONS: 8-speed auto sometimes struggles to find the right gear.
What Critics are Saying: The Car Connection notes, “Ride quality may be the smoothest in the class. The electric power steering does not offer much feedback.” And according to an Edmunds.com review, “A Ram 1500 Sport crew cab 4WD made the sprint from zero to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds, which is slower than average for a full-size pickup with a V8.”

CONS: You still have to take care in tight corners and watch your speed in corners
What Critics are Saying: Like its competitors,” explains Car and Driver,” the Titan generally does not like to be hustled around corners; instead, the steering and suspension are tuned for work and comfort.”

MPG:

RWD: 13/18/15

PROS: The base V8 has decent power, but the larger 5.7-liter V8 is the one to go for if you need to tow or just want the truck to leap off the line.
CONS: If you are opting for the smaller V8 for fuel economy, you’re better off going with the V6 engines offered by rivals like Ram and Ford.
What Critics are Saying: According to U.S. News & World Report, “It’s a large truck, and it can be cumbersome around corners or at higher speeds. Some test drivers note that the brakes are on the sensitive side as well.” But as The Car Connection points out, “The V-8s deliver a similar feel around town. They’re reasonably quick when not laden to their payload and towing limits, and they deliver good low-end acceleration. They both tend to run out of steam as speeds rise and at higher elevations.”

Which Truck Has the Best Fuel Economy?

The F-150’s EcoBoost engines have the best fuel economy among trucks with gas engines. (Source: Ford)

With the use of aluminum, Ford was able to shave weight off its trucks, allowing the Blue Oval Brand to use smaller, turbocharged engines, which it calls “EcoBoost.” The result is increased power and efficiency. The EcoBoost engines get the best fuel economy of all the gas engines in the light pickup truck segment. Ram offers an EcoDiesel engines that gets the best fuel economy overall, but diesel isn’t the solution for all drivers, and prices vary.

Which Truck Has the Best Infotainment Technology?

The Ram 1500 is available with Uconnect Access, featuring a wifi hotspot and apps. (Source: FCA)

Infotainment Technology Winners and Losers

#1 Ram 1500 Uconnect
#2 (tied) Chevrolet Silverado MyLink
#2 (tied) GMC Sierra 1500 IntelliLink
#3 Ford F150 SYNC 3
#5 (tied) Nissan Titan and NissanConnect
#5 (tied) Toyota Tundra Entune

Rivals like the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 have strong infotainment options, but neither can hold a candle to Uconnect, Chrysler’s infotainment system that is used across all of its brands. What makes Uconnect so great is its layout. It has the look and feel of a tablet device (noted in the tutorial video above), like an iPad. All the major functions phases/functions found in the touch screen are found at the base of the screen, like an iPad “dock.” There are large, easy-to-read icons for the phone, radio, media (using your phone for music), climate, navigation, and then a final icon for various settings. The toggle buttons are very large and super easy-to-read, and just as important– many of the toggles for the audio and climate controls have redundant controls outside of the screen that are real buttons and dials.

Ram 1500 Uconnect: The Gold Standard

Optional Upgrades Voice-controlled navigation
PROS Simple, easy-to-use layout, customizable, vivid graphics
CONS

Voice control sometimes buggy

Ford F-150 SYNC 3: Most Improved Player

Ford was a pioneer in the way of in-car touch screen systems (aka “infotainment”), in the form of Ford Sync. But when it comes to tech, being first isn’t as important as getting the execution right. Previous iterations of Sync tried to do too much and incorporate too many features. Ford replaced it with SYNC 3, which was a drastic improvement, and is an easy-enough to use system on the new F-150. It’s just that the other entrants in the truck game offer better infotainment. Chevy MyLink, found in the Silverado has a very thoughtful layout, Uconnect system in the Ram 1500 is the gold standard among touch screen systems.

What Is It? SYNC 3 features a smartphone-like layout. It features large, easy-to-read icons, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, and standard Bluetooth hands-free connectivity
Optional Upgrades Large apps suite
PROS Ease of Use, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
CONS Outclassed by rivals like Chevy MyLink and Chrysler/Ram Uconnect

Toyota Tundra Entune: Decent, but Dated

The Tundra features Toyota’s very-good infotainment system. It’s not the most advanced system and doesn’t have the latest, high def graphics, but the icons are large and the fonts are easy to read. The large tiles and swipe gesture ability makes navigating through the menus incredibly easy. This is aided by the tactile hard buttons. Many new infotainment systems do away with those home buttons, but for trucks, having the redundant hard buttons is a must.

What is It? Entune touch screen system, with simple layout, swipe through menus, large icons, easy to read
Optional Upgrades Navigation, Suite of apps like Yelp, Pandora
PROS Simple touch screen layout, solid suite of apps
CONS No available Apple CarPlay, Android Auto. Feels dated, despite being pretty new.

Chevy Silverado MyLink / GMC Sierra IntelliLink: Two Names, One Great System

The technological centerpiece of that interior is called MyLink for the Silverado, and IntelliLink for the Sierra. It’s the same system. MyLink/IntelliLink screen features an easy to use layout, with large, easy-to-read icons that are customizable–you simply drag the icon you want to the desired location. It also has gestures like swipe and pinch-to-zoom like on a tablet.

The MyLink/IntelliLink screen allows you to operate the radio, Bluetooth hands-free calling, Pandora streaming radio, voice-activated phone and radio functions, navigation system and more. What’s more, many of these functions are operable via redundant tactile controls. So, if you don’t feel like futzing with the touch screen, you can fall back on the old-school buttons and knobs. MyLink/IntelliLink also has a powerful voice-activation system that can comprehend complex commands.

What is It? Called Chevy MyLink or GMC Intellilink, it features a simple layout, and easy to use controls
Optional Upgrades Navigation, Real-time traffic and weather
PROS Super easy to use, powerful voice control (understands complex commands), Apple CarPlay / Android Auto
CONS Sometimes has bugs

Nissan Titan and NissanConnect: Easy to Use, But Small

When automakers design a new car, they save the touch screen stuff for last. That’s because in the time they design and start building the car, the tech has already changed. With that in mind, there should have at least been some viable way to work Apple CarPlay or Android Auto into the touch screen system o the Titan. Both the Chevrolet Silverado and F-150 offer this. If Nissan wants to play ball with the big boys, they need to offer everything that they offer, and then some.

What is It? Prominent center-dash touch screen. Bright, vivid, easy-to-use
Optional Upgrades SiriusXM TraveLink (traffic/weather)
PROS Easy-to-use, multiple ways of accessing features
CONS Screen is quite small No Apple CarPlay or Android Auto

Tundra Final Tally: +2.5

The Tundra’s age betrays it when it comes to the dated powertrain offerings and chunky interior design. Other omissions are purely by choice– Toyota has bet own its own infotainment over the need to include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and that could come back to bite Toyota. That said, if you don’t NEED CarPlay or Android Auto, it’s one of the best infotainment systems out there, rooted in ease-of-use and simplicity.

The Titan is an incredibly improved truck over the one that it replaces. It is one of the more comfortable trucks you can buy, and if you can afford the Platinum Reserve, it’s downright luxurious. But for now, there are only limited bed/cab configurations, limited engine options, and it lacks the latest safety technology.

The Ram 1500 can do everyday truck duty, but it really shines as an everyday driver.

The combination of multi-link rear suspension and available airbag suspension system makes the Ram 1500 one of the smoothest driving trucks on the road.
