Trucks are nothing new to the American car industry, which for you is good news. The held competition for the best and mightiest truck is a long fought one and has brought out some great options. If you’re looking for something to haul, tow, or even just go on an off-road adventure, then the American truck market has many fantastic options. From Ford to Dodge, Toyota, Jeep and more, each company offers deals on trucks with unique packages:
1. Ford F150 SuperCrew Cab
Starting off with perhaps the most iconic American car brand. The Ford F150 SuperCrew Cab is an all time favorite among American truck lovers. This year’s edition offers a refreshingly new 3.3L Ti-VCT V6 engine capable of throwing out 290 horsepower and 265 pounds of torque. You can of course upgrade for more power as well. The engine power translates to roughly 8,000 pounds of towing capacity with plenty of room in the cab for modern comforts.
2. Toyota Tundra Double Cab
Next up is the car brand known as the world’s most reliable and affordable. The Toyota Tundra Double Cab is by far the best option for long journeys and owners who wish to keep their truck for decades. With a souped up 5.7L V8, the Toyota Tundra offers a towing capacity of 10,000 pounds. A 38-gallon fuel tank also compliments how reliable this truck is. So, if you’re looking for something with superior towing capability that will last as long as you need it to, consider the Tundra.
3. Jeep Gladiator
A car manufacturer known for producing off-roading vehicles, Jeep hasn’t taken any short cuts with the 2020 Jeep Gladiator. This truck is the only truck rated for off-trail adventures. To complement that rating, the Gladiator is also desert rated and “born for battle”, according to Jeep. Don’t be fooled by the off-roading abilities though. This truck can still haul up to 7,650 pounds. So, if you’re the “off the beaten path” type but also need to haul some serious weight, consider the Gladiator.
4. Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Crew Cab
The absolute beast of towing and hauling. No other truck comes close in terms of raw power and towing capability. The Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD Crew Cab offers a towing capacity of 35,500 pounds. Let that sink in for a moment. Most other trucks can’t even haul a third of that amount. That capacity requires some serious engine power since the Silverado 3500 also puts out 910 pounds of torque. Best of yet, this truck can haul a payload (in the truck bed) of 7,442 pounds.
5. Dodge Ram 1500
Last up is the best performing diesel light-duty truck on the market. With 260 horsepower and an impressive 480 pounds of torque, the Dodge Ram 1500 doesn’t disappoint. The diesel engine also means your engine and its performance will last longer than traditional gas engines. You can also rely on the newly updated ecoboost technology for better gas mileage and fewer emissions.
