What Are the 13 Best Pickup Trucks of 2024?
The pickup truck has come a long way from its working roots. The rough-riding, bare-bones pickups of yesteryear have been replaced by vehicles that often have the ride quality of a vintage full-size sedan and the spec sheet that will make your jaw drop. With that in mind, you might be in the market to upgrade your rig. Here’s a handful of the best trucks you’ll find on a lot in 2024.
2023 Ford F-150
Price: $35,830
It’s hard to have a list of pickups without the crown jewel of Ford’s portfolio. Ranging from the lowly work-spec XL to the high-flying Raptor R, there's something in this lineup to handle your trucking needs.
2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Price: $38,145
If you want a full-size pickup with a bowtie, Chevrolet has an answer. The Chevy Silverado was just updated for the 2022 model year and features an overhauled interior, a new turbocharged 2.7-liter I4 as base power, and can come with two doors.

2023 Ram 1500
Price: $40,550
Ram’s latest 1500 shook up the truck space when it debuted in 2018. Over the past five years, this well-appointed pickup has carved out a solid niche in a fiercely competitive segment. The latest-generation Ram holds its own in terms of comfort and can do anything you’d expect from a light-duty pickup.
2023 Toyota Tacoma
Price: $30,095
The king of the midsize trucks is obviously going to make this list. Toyota’s beloved midsize pickup sits at the top of the sales charts for a reason. The ’23 model is the final run of the current, third-gen Tacoma, so time is running out if you want this body style. Though, if you’re interested in a more comfortable cabin, the ’24 model introduces some big changes to the Tacoma.
2023 GMC Sierra 1500
Price: $38,945
Let’s not forget the other arm of GM’s truck effort: GMC. Sharing effectively the same bones as its bowtie-wearing counterpart, the GMC Sierra 1500 has enough grunt to handle your light-duty pickup needs. Of course, highly optioned GMC Sierra 1500 Denali trucks might make you forget that you’re still driving something designed for work.
2023 Chevrolet Colorado
Price: $30,695
The fully redesigned Chevy Colorado and its GMC Canyon platform mate represent a formidable one-two punch in the midsize truck segment. This listed base price is a bare-bones work truck, but the rugged Trail Boss variant pictured will definitely cost you more.
