THE BEST Trucks

A truck driver in a Sri Lankan fuel depot shows off his impressive maneuvering skills as he manages to turn around his semi and trailer in what seems to be an impossibly small space. Who needs 3-point turns anyway?

Based on the imposing Nissan TITAN XD, the TITAN Warrior raises the stakes by raising its height almost 3″, and its width by 6″. It rocks ginormous 37″ tall off-road tires on 18″ wheels. Terrain crushing ability aside, its sculpted front end and sporty interior look just awesome.

Hoodworks’ first in a series of replacement truck tailgates. The GearGate Cycling Comp has universal bike mounts, heavy duty lock chains, a Nanuk toolbox, a Cannon Safe combo safe, external and internal waterproof LEDs and more.

Legacy Classic Trucks founder Winslow Bent graced Jay Leno’s Garage with one of their restorations. It’s a Dodge WC63 military transport truck that’s been reborn into an undying tank for when the boss wants to role-play as a working man.

Liebherr walks us through the process of turning raw sheets of metal into its gargantuan, 600 ton 282 C Haul trucks at their facilities across Australia. The scale of these things doesn’t sink in until the semi shows up to transport the truck’s hopper.

The most badass production 4Runner ever, the TRD Pro is the truck we’d want in a zombie apocalypse. Its TRD Bilstein shocks and multi-terrain systems will conquer any surface you can throw at them, and Crawl Control and Hill Start assist make quick work of tough terrain.

To demonstrate their durability and traction control system, Volvo Trucks put Sophie, a 4 year-old girl behind the wheel of an 18-ton truck, and asked her to drive it through a challenging obstacle course. For safety’s sake, she used a remote control. Thank goodness.



The 2016 Sierra Denali features an elegant, bejeweled exterior and a super quiet cabin with lots of tech connectivity – it’s a great truck for the person who appreciates thoughtful design details, conducts lots of business on the road or likes to tow big toys.

Off-road race champ BJ Baldwin takes his 800 hp trophy truck through the forests and urban jungles of the Pacific Northwest to hunt down an elusive sasquatch named Bruce, who has a speedy off-road vehicle of his own. For more fun, check out Recoil 1 and Recoil 2.

Volvo gives us a glimpse of its future haulers, which will act much like our mobile devices. These trucks can automatically download updates in real time, change their internal specs to suit the job or the driver, schedule trips to the mechanic and more.

Icon’s second Dodge D200 sits on a 2500 Mega Cab base and has a supercharged 5.7L Hemi, automatic transmission and enhanced suspension and exhaust. The matte green and black paint job is a wonderful combination of past and present.

The mid-size Tacoma is the ultimate truck for outdoor fun. The TRD Off-Road model is our fave, ready to take on the most rugged terrain with a 3.5L V6, crawl control, locking rear diff, and on-demand 4WD. It’s even got a GoPro mount.

Details are paramount in GMC’s 2016 Canyon: its 305 hp, 3.6L V-6 engine provides effortless power rolling through rugged terrain and easily tows big water toys up to 7000 lb., while you relax in a refined, tranquil cabin replete with tech.

With 2,753 parts, the LEGO Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3425 is the largest LEGO Technic model ever produced. It has fully independent suspension, double differential drive, twin axle steering and a working crane arm and grabber.

A 1949 Dodge Power Wagon overhauled into an off-roader by Legacy Classic Trucks. It has a 6.2L V8 LS3 engine that produces up to 480hp, Dana 60 axles, King coil-over suspension, racing seats and harness and a roll cage.

The Phibian’s off-roading little brother. The Humdinga is a 4WD amphibious truck with a 350hp diesel engine and twin jet drives. It goes up to about 80mph on land and 30mph on water, and can carry up to 1653lb. or about 7 people.

Based on the Ford SVT Raptor, the Shelby Baja 700 adds a Whipple supercharger to the 6.2L V8 engine, upping its output to over 700hp. It also has an upgraded suspension, 3″ King rear shocks, custom 18×9 wheels and the sweet Cobra stripes.

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.

Steve Kitchin became wheelchair-bound after a car accident. Unsatisfied with the wheelchair-accessible vehicles on the market, he founded All Terrain Conversions to cater to drivers with the same needs as him.

It shall return. The 2017 F-150 Raptor will have a steel frame and an aluminum alloy body, making it weigh over 500lb less than the previous model. It will also have a 10-speed transmission and a – gasp! – 3.5L EcoBoost V6.

Ford has shelved the F-150 Raptor, so Hennessey opted for the 2015 Ford F-150 Supercrew 5.0L V8 (with the FX4 off-road package) and boosted it with an 8PSI supercharger, a high flow air induction system and upgraded fuel injectors.

Devolro Motors specializes in modifying the Toyota Tundra for off-road, security and other high performance purposes. Options include 6″ suspension lifts, 37″ all-terrain tires, fiberglass bed topper and even bulletproof armor.

If there’s one thing that you never really want to do, it’s drive your car underneath a big rig. But that’s exactly what EMC and the Lotus F1 Team did, as they jumped a semi tractor trailer right over a moving F1 racer. BTS footage here.

When he’s not doing donuts in his Ford Fiesta ST, Ken Block is hooning around in his awesome RaptorTRAX, a customized Ford F-150 with huge, tank-like snow treads. Here, he goofs around with snowboarders Zak Hale and Ethan Deiss.

Mercedes-Benz’ Future Truck 2025 is the world’s first autonomous truck, capable of driving up to 50mph on its own. Daimler believes that the truck is ready for commercial use; it’s just waiting for autonomous vehicles to be legalized.
