Among pickups, the Honda Ridgeline is our pick, partly because it’s all the truck that most buyers need—and it’s more comfortable.
The Titan is similarly grounded in what’s mostly necessary, but reaches over its skis in some places too.
The Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, and Ram 1500 are perpetually locked in a battle for buyers, each with their selling points.
Ford offers a staggering range of possibilities, with better tech underlying most of them.
Chevy’s Silverado is a conservative pick, bolstered by a heady V-8 that can haul class.
Ram’s the looker of the bunch, but a new version is on the way.
The Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan most often compete for what’s left over, and both rely on aging V-8s for popular power.
We like the Titan’s quieter ride and slightly better fuel economy.
