Like most other full-size trucks, there's a Toyota Tundra model for nearly every purpose.
That said, the Nissan Titan is probably the least competitive at this time, with its limited array of models and muscle-car exhaust note.
GM's pickups, the Silverado and Sierra, were last redesigned in 2007 and updated only lightly since, yet they still do alright for ride quality and are offered in seemingly endless configurations.
There's still an available hybrid edition with a complex set of batteries and motors that help these trucks save a little gas.
The Ford F-150 remains a top pick, and its powertrains and in-vehicle technology are among the best.
But for 2013, the Ram 1500 gets a new eight-speed automatic transmission, a new V-6, and an even better cabin--making this the truck to beat for refinement and fuel economy.

The 2013 Toyota Tundra is tough and able, but its overwrought styling, subpar interior appointments, and unimpressive fuel economy could be cause for hesitation. |
The 2013 Chevrolet Silverado lineup appeals to truck traditionalists, offering a straightforward package that isn't as bold or fashionable as rivals but delivers in every way a truck should. |
Muscular but lower in fat thanks to turbo V-6 power, the 2013 Ford F-150 shares the truck lead thanks to extreme towing capability and best-in-class tech features. |
Among increasingly bold full-size trucks, the 2013 GMC Sierra is simple in looks and strong in performance—with the Sierra Hybrid remaining a fuel-efficient standout. |
The 2013 Nissan Titan provides strong performance, with a brash style, but it's simply fallen to the back of the pack in many respects. |
The 2013 Ram 1500 leads full-size trucks in interior quality, gas mileage, and handling; it adds infotainment to the list this year, but we're mixed on its new air suspension, and towing capacity is down. |
