Pickup buyers are a fiercely loyal bunch, but if you’re one of the few still on the fence, you’ll find plenty of worthwhile competition.
Head steer, at least in the looks department, is the Ram 1500—but it’s dated and its safety scores don’t impress.
The trail boss here is the Ford F-150, a popular truck with a controversial aluminum bed and loads of trim levels.
Attempting to break into the dude ranch are the Nissan Titan and Toyota Tundra.
Neither can match the domestics’ wide range of options and trim levels, but both have a certain refinement worth considering.
But if you’re set on the Silverado, you at least owe it to yourself to pop over to the GMC dealer to check out the nearly identical Sierra.
