The GMC Sierra HD is mechanically related to the Chevrolet Silverado HD, although the GMC version gets more goodies at the top end.
The Ford Super Duty is our current pick in the class, but not for how it looks.
Ford’s added tech makes a big difference, especially when towing.
Ram’s heavy duty range is the oldest, relatively speaking, but it still has its charms.
If you’re looking for a truck to match your belt buckle, the Ram may be the ticket.
Nissan’s Titan doesn’t have the same capabilities as the other, but it has the heavy-duty looks.
Its interior isn’t anywhere near as refined, but for the money, it could be a compelling bet.
