Many automakers don’t make pickup trucks, but those that do are serious about bringing athletic light duty trucks to the market. The best full size trucks for sale include, in alphabetical order, the Chevy Silverado, Ford F150, GMC Sierra, Toyota Tundra, and Ram 1500.
If you are shopping trucks for sale, you deserve to know what’s available this model year. A wide range of capability and styles exist within each brand. You’ve got so many choices that it’s possible to find a perfect fit.
What is most important to you? Is it style, size, tow ratings, off-roading capability or technology? Here’s what you should know about the best trucks this year.
The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 promises serious V8 power, a variety of configurations, and today’s favorite amenities. New updates ensure it is competitive in the light duty truck marketplace.
With three cabins, Chevy trucks in Phoenix offer more choices for more price points. The long cabin is known for its adult-size second row. Accessibility is assured with larger door openings. At 5-feet, 8-inches, the short bed is longer than rival short beds. It’s deeper and wider, ensuring it holds the maximum payload.
Shoppers climb the trim ladder from the well-equipped work truck to the midrange LT to more luxurious cabins with top technologies. One favorite is the new 13.34-inch touchscreen that’s available for 2025. Google voice recognition takes the frustration out of human-machine interactions.
Feisty V8 engines allow the Silverado 1500 to claim good tow ratings. A smart transmission gives it a smooth ride while also harnessing the maximum low-end torque. Secure handling meets safety with this truck’s numerous driver aids. Semi-autonomous GM Super Cruise takes on broader responsibilities with the new model year.
If adventure is your goal, the Silverado 4×4 can be upgraded to the Z71 off-road package. The Silverado Trail Boss trim is a trail enthusiast’s pick.

The 2025 Ford F150 returns with a twin turbo V6 base engine and a high-output twin-turbo V6 that spits out power like V8s. There’s also the electric Ford Lightning and F-150 Hybrid. The available Power On Board generator lets you plug in appliances at home, in the backyard, or at campsites.
Still offering a regular cab, the Ford F150 has two sizes of two-row cabins. Updated styling includes more technology, including a standard 12-inch touchscreen and a digital instrument panel. Ford truck passengers will appreciate the generous wiggle room. Available max-recline seats let you get a little shut-eye on a lay-by. Interior appointments include a console that can act as a work desk for your laptop.
This truck starts off as an affordable work horse. There’s a new split tailgate that allows you to assess the bed even if it is hooked up to a trailer. As you move up the trim ladder, you gain more amenities until you reach luxury level cabins. Ford trucks have updated driver assistance, including emi-autonomous BlueCruise.
Off-roading continues to be a focus with this year’s lineup offering lots of choices. Terrain management and four-wheel drive allows Ford trucks to seek out the biggest challenges. For the maximum off-roading capability, there’s the F-150 Tremor, Raptor and Raptor R.

The 2025 GMC Sierra shares many of its mechanical advantages with the Chevrolet Silverado. However, it stands out for its luxurious top trims and its overall athleticism. As Edmunds has written, this truck exudes “visual bravado”, establishing it as a distinctive premium truck brand.
Many enthusiasts associate GMC trucks with powerful V8s that have kept them moving for decades. The 355-horsepower 5.3-L V8 and 420-horsepower 6.2-L V8 are ready for anything. Even the base V6 is a powerful choice with 310 horses under the hood. Exclusive to GM trucks, the Duramax turbodiesel 6-cylinder engine jacks up towing capacity while delivering 495 lb-ft of torque. This smart engine is more powerful for the 2025 model year.
There’s an emphasis on choice with three cabs, three beds, two drivetrains and the four engines. GMC pickup drivers have a comfortable perch, and the available second row is big enough for adults. Trim levels range from the simpler Pro to the Denali Ultimate. Complete with an adaptive suspension, this workhorse turns into a luxury liner. The Sierra AT4 and AT4X are better and best off-roaders.
Regardless of trim, Sierras exude a premium atmosphere, starting with the Pro trim’s large 12.3-inch touchscreen. Like the Chevrolet Silverado, the Sierra’s heated seats have separate settings for the back and cushion. Fun toys include available speakers for the tailgate.

Tossing out its acclaimed V8s wasn’t easy, but Ram makes it look that way. The new turbocharged 6-cylinder engines boost performance numbers. The first engine delivers 420 horses while the high-output version kicks out 540 horsepower.
New exterior styling for Ram trucks increases its curb appeal. As always, it offers the RamBox storage system, a favorite for anyone who loves organizational tools.
The updated interior moves to the front of the class with greater refinement and higher quality materials. A versatile center console provides interior organization. Ride quality remains one of its strong suites with the celebrated coil-spring rear suspension.
Recognizing the competition from the Sierra Denali, Toyota Capstone, Ford King Ranch and others, Ram offers a new Tungsten trim. Taking on the Ford Lightning and other electric trucks, the lineup includes the plug-in hybrid RamCharger and an all-electric Ram REV. The Ram TRX is discontinued but another off-roading genius is coming soon.

With numerous nips, tucks and additions, the 2025 Toyota Tundra has leaned into its well-rounded reputation. This full-size truck comes with three bed lengths with a choice of two 2-row cabs. We really like the big backseats and the composite bed, which won’t show dents and scratches.
Exclusive to the brand, a twin turbo i-Force V6 is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission which switches gears seamlessly for smoother, more predictable handling at every speed. Shoppers can step up to the i-Force Hybrid and its top-shelf V8-like output. Taking a page from Ram trucks, the new Tundra has a similar suspension design with corresponding ride-quality advantages.
Trim levels start with the well-equipped SR which has the important technology today’s shoppers want and the impressive iForce engine that you need for work productivity. Adaptive cruise control and a huge suite of driver assistance are standard. Stepping up to the SR5, the Tundra driver claims an exciting 14-inch touchscreen.
For luxury, there’s the Tundra Capstone with its gorgeous interior and top amenities. For adventure, the Tundra TRD Pro continues to dominate thanks to its exclusive trail equipment.
