Reviews SummaryWhether it’s towing your boat out to the lake house, hauling power tools to the job site or transporting the kiddos to school, a pickup truck is the ultimate get-things-done vehicle. Now well into its fourth generation, the full-size Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck stands out thanks to its available diesel engine and Super Cruise hands-free driving assist on the very top trim. Verdict: The 2024 Chevy Silverado looks good, offers a versitile range of engines, and can be had in three different cab sizes. It doesn't tow or haul quite as much as a Ford F-150, but we're impressed with its overall value, and the ZR2 trim's off-road chops. | |
Reviews SummaryThe Dodge Ram is one of the most recognizable vehicles on the road today, and certainly has notable exterior styling, thanks to its crosshairs-style grille and bulbous hood that rests on top of bulging fenders. The styling has been in place since the early 1990s, and the 2002 redesign kept the majority of the style in place. It's an excellent truck with plenty of virtues to draw in truck buyers, but the full-size segment has heated up to the point that it’s hard to find a bad apple. | |
