Trucks are some of the most popular vehicles among U.S. shoppers. Full-size pickups like the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado, and Ram 1500 sell the most because they’re practical and ready to work. Heavy-duty trucks like the Ford Super Duty pickups and Ram 3500 dually deliver even greater capability. But midsize pickups like the Toyota Tacoma and Chevrolet Colorado prove smaller beds and less power can be just as useful and appealing. And the compact pickup class, once known as mini trucks, has returned. Affordable compact trucks include the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz. There are now even pickup choices for maximum efficiency with hybrids like the Maverick and Toyota Tundra, plus electric cars like the Rivian R1T, Ford F-150 Lightning, GMC Hummer EV, and Chevrolet Silverado EV. Of course, these days you can also buy a truck tailored for off-roading right from the factory with models like the Ford F-150 Raptor, Ram 1500 TRX, and Chevrolet Colorado ZR2.
