The GMC Sierra remains very closely related to the Silverado.
Ford took a revolutionary route with its current F-150, which was made with lightweight aluminum and featuring a slate of new or upgraded engine options.
The Ram 1500 still offers the only diesel engine in this class; it also has a coil-spring rear suspension as well as optional air suspension for ride comfort and ease of loading, as well as the widest rollout of efficient eight-speed transmissions.
The Nissan Titan is aimed almost entirely at the personal-truck crowd—the types who are going to tow a boat on the weekend or occasionally make a trip to the home center—but its interior is woefully out of and an older, less-powerful engine returns poor fuel economy.
Toyota's Tundra was updated just two years ago, too, although its strong yet aging powertrain set and interior styling doesn't carry the same appeal as GM's better-updated engines and cabin.
