1. 2018 Ford F-150

The Ford line of pickup trucks will always be one of the top ranking brands, and the F-150 is its crown jewel. It’s been the best selling pickup truck year after year and there plenty of reasons why.

While it isn’t the dominant winner in any particular category, it’s at or near the top at pretty much everything a truck owner could want.

The engine is both strong and quick, so you can speed around town with little to nothing in the bed, or haul nearly whatever you need to tow.

The Ford F-150 has also added a lot of technology that makes driving a truck seem like the future. Available options include Pro Trailer Backup Assist, a technology that lets the truck take over steering while you’re backing up a trailer, which can be one of the most frustrating activities you’ll ever encounter.

2. 2018 Honda Ridgeline

Honda has been making trucks for a while, but only recently have their trucks been gaining attention.

The Honda Ridgeline stands out amongst mid-size pickup trucks for its ease and comfortability. If you don’t like trucks but you need one, the Honda Ridgeline is the truck for you.

While its maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds is lower than most trucks due to its unibody construction, most casual truck drivers won’t ever need to haul that kind of weight.

Its fuel economy of 21-22 mpg is impressive for a pickup truck, and it has a spacious cabin that can easily fit four full-grown adults, making it a great multi-use vehicle.

3. 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali

The 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali is the ultimate luxury pickup truck. If you’re a wealthy contractor who wants to pull up to your new multi-million dollar project in style, this is your truck.

With a beautiful interior and loads of tech features including wireless phone charging, you’ll be working in style with the 1500 Denali.

However just because it’s pretty doesn’t mean it’s not powerful. It’s 6.2-liter V8 still packs all of the punch that you need out of pickup truck, so you’ll still be getting things done, you’re just going to look great doing it.

4. Isuzu D-Max Utah

You might not think of Isuzu as a maker of quality pickup trucks, but you should.

While all of the D-Max line vehicles are great in their category, the Utah stands out for the same reasons as the Honda Ridgeline. It’s smaller, sleek, and still powerful.

Trucks like the Utah is the reason why Isuzu D Max could have a sale boost in 2018.
