Pickup Trucks

Fastest Pickup Trucks

How do Car and Driver rankings come up? This stems from the extensive instrument tests we conduct on hundreds of vehicles every year and the subjective feelings of editors when driving on real roads. We select the best pickup truck based on approximately 200 data points, including acceleration performance, handling, comfort, cargo compartment space, fuel efficiency, price/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.

How We Rank

The ratings and rankings of Car and Driver are derived from the extensive instrument tests we conduct on hundreds of cars every year and the personal experiences our professional editors gain in actual driving. We rate the vehicle on a 10-point scale based on approximately 200 data points, including acceleration performance, handling, comfort, storage space, fuel efficiency, cost performance and driving pleasure. These scores are then used to compare the vehicles with other models in the same class. We are very strict about scoring and ranking because we want you to have a comprehensive understanding of the models you are interested in. Based on the results of instrument testing, we compiled this list of the fastest trucks currently on sale and attached their comprehensive scores.
