Most Satisfying New Pickup Trucks
These compact, midsized, and full-sized trucks are the ones that make their owners happy
Traditionally, pickup trucks of all sizes and capabilities have been available from manufacturers such as Ford, General Motors, Ram, and Toyota. In recent years Honda and Hyundai have introduced conventional trucks with internal combustion engines, while EV automakers Tesla and Rivian have delivered their own all-electric models to the market. Ford and GM have also jumped on the EV pickup truck bandwagon, while Ford’s compact pickup truck comes standard with a hybrid powertrain.
No matter what moves the truck down the road, each automaker wants its models to stand out from the competition to keep customers loyal. The trucks that top Consumer Reports’ owner satisfaction ratings deliver on manufacturer promises, whether they’re about ride quality, payload capacity, or towing performance.

In order to determine owner satisfaction, each year we ask CR members a simple question: Would you get this car if you had to do it all over again? We look at the percentage of owners who tell us they would definitely buy their vehicle again to determine the top performers. There’s a good chance the vehicles CR members have found satisfying are the ones you’d be happiest with, too.
