If it's beefy good looks you're after, the GMC Sierra squares off well agains the Ram 1500.
The Ram shows its age in a few ways, but it's still the best-riding full-size pickup and we love its (pricey) turbodiesel V-6.
The Ford F-150 is deservedly a best seller, offering many virtues and few negatives, although its ride quality trails the GMs and the Ram.
Nissan gets back into the half-ton game this year with its lanky Titan, but it still feels more like a sophomore effort than a true rival.
The polished Toyota Tundra is an old design with a thirsty V-8, but it boasts Toyota's reliability record.
And if you find yourself smitten with the GMC Sierra, consider looking to your nearest Chevrolet dealer for the essentially identical, and usually slightly cheaper, Chevrolet Silverado.
