Car and Driver's ranking is based on two key bases: first, the large amount of instrument test data we conduct on hundreds of vehicle models every year, and the second, the subjective experience accumulated by our professional editors in actual road driving. In order to select the best heavy-duty pickup truck, we referred to approximately 200 data points, covering acceleration performance, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel economy, cost performance, and driving pleasure. We take rankings very seriously because we want you to have a comprehensive understanding of every car you are interested in.
