Awesome Pickups

Ford’s compact pickup has seating for five, a standard hybrid drivetrain, and starts under $20K. It has an easy-access bed with a versatile carrying and tie-down system, storage under the back seat, and can tow up to 4,000 pounds with the upgraded EcoBoost engine. It’s built on the same platform as the Bronco Sport and Escape.

Ford’s popular F-150 pickup truck has a bold new exterior and interior, and can be equipped with all kinds of goodies, like a PowerBoost hybrid engine that goes 700 mi per tank and tows 12,000 lb, a Pro Power system which lets you plug in power tools in the bed, a tailgate work surface, and a huge 12″ touchscreen among other things.

Tuning experts Hennessey Performance took the 2020 Jeep Gladiator pickup truck, gave it a 6.2L Hellcat V8 engine and an amped up supercharger, making 1000 hp and 933 lb-ft. of torque. It has custom bumpers, 20″ wheels, an upgraded suspension with a 6″ lift, and much more. See it in person at the 2019 SEMA Show.

The new performance variant of Chevy’s mid-size pickup gains 2″ of suspension lift, steel rocker protectors, Multimatic shocks, 17×8 wheels with 31-inch off-road tires, and front and rear locking diffs. Comes with either a 308 hp V6, or a 181 hp diesel with 369 lb-ft. of torque.

The King Ranch is the top of the pickup truck heap. Packed with luxury features like leather massage seats, it’s still ready for serious work, tows over 11,000 lbs, and packs a 363hp turbo V6 with 400lb-ft. of torque. Full review on 95octane.

Building on the style of the classic 1956 Ford F-100, but with a modern chassis and drivetrain, this is no antique pickup. It’s built like a sports car, with a supercharged 5.0L V8, sport suspension and exhaust, and seats from a Mustang GT.
