Reviews SummaryAvailable in three cab styles with three bed lengths and eight trim levels, there is a 2025 F-150 for almost any budget or requirement. Six powertrains are also on the menu, and you can opt for an electric version called the F-150 Lightning. For the 2025 model year, Ford has added a slew of new standard and optional driver-assistance systems to the F-150, and a plush new Platinum Plus option package offers extra decadence for luxury-truck buyers. Verdict: The depth and breadth of the 2025 Ford F-150 lineup are downright staggering. Fortunately for Ford, each version of this truck boasts serious substance, and while some rivals may be more appealing in one way or another, considered as a whole, the F-150 is the best light-duty pickup truck your money can buy. | |
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. | |
