Pickup trucks are among the most useful and versatile vehicles around, but they're anything but cheap. New trucks have become some of the most expensive models out there, but you can save thousands by shopping on the used market. Going back a few model years doesn't mean you'll have to give up on the tech and safety features offered by new models, and many trucks from the last several years are extremely similar to their new counterparts in terms of styling. 

Here are our picks for the best used trucks available now.

### 1. Chevrolet Silverado

__Model Years: 2019-2024__

__Price: $16,000+__

![2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/8DdpHv16jIbsD36f1OuW0/3666d2edb12e470329c19687ba1de175/2024_Chevrolet_Silverado_1500_Exterior.jpg)

Recent Chevy Silverados have brought significant updates, such as more tech, a more luxurious interior, and fresh styling. While the most recent models have the most to offer, almost any variant from the last five years would be a great choice. 

![2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/7vMWuMFZ1QVGUBUKIyIrt5/cabc862ac353064996fad9b3e4911e86/2024_Chevrolet_Silverado_1500_Interior.jpg)

Chevy offered a range of powertrain options, including a turbocharged four-cylinder, two V8 engines, and a turbodiesel, and almost all models are available with four-wheel drive (4WD). While a four-cylinder engine might seem like an odd choice for a full-size pickup truck, even the base powertrain provides good towing capacity and payload. 

Buyers who want more capability can opt for the Silverado 2500 or Silverado 3500, which offer more than the light-duty Silverado 1500.

Chevy added smarter materials inside, especially in top trims. Newer models feature large touchscreens, and the latest variants come with Google built-in, which brings a long list of features, such as Google Maps, the Google Play Store, and more. The truck also has a decent number of standard safety features, but the most desirable options are for the top configurations.

<a name="2.-ford-f-150"></a>  
### 2. Ford F-150

__Model Years: 2021-2024__

__Price: $15,000+__

![2024 Ford F-150 Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/LvOl4QJcME0FBqyXYF69E/0604fb88563bb11eb5e637c83dbdebb7/2024_Ford_F-150_Exterior.jpg)

The F-150 is the best-selling truck in America because it's available in a wide range of configurations and several drivetrains, making it one of the best used pickup trucks on sale today. Ford introduced a hybrid powertrain a few years back, and there's also the all-electric F-150 Lightning. Four-wheel drive is available, as are extended cab and crew cab body styles, plus a range of performance features that aid its abilities off-road and while towing.

![2024 Ford F-150 Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6byrNJ28TzplRCOdkuEg2b/f63f6c1b3a173188b43695da26d3ec5c/2024_Ford_F-150_Interior.jpg)

The Ford F-150 ranges from barebones and basic to downright luxurious, especially in the King Ranch and Platinum models. Most get a large touchscreen running Ford's Sync infotainment interface, and the list of standard features is generous. There are many safety features, including advanced driver assistance technology, which makes the F-150 a compelling used truck, and there are generally plenty to choose from on dealership lots.

### 3. Nissan Titan

__Model Years: 2019-2024__

__Price: $19,000+__

![2024 Nissan Titan Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1NDU3lEMpVMYo1Zey9LZ2R/ad5e6ea954da137164b7b0d9af40b10c/2024_Nissan_Titan_Exterior.jpg)

The Nissan Titan was recently discontinued but remains a solid used truck. It has a V8 engine as standard, and the beefy Pro-4X trims offer surprising off-road capabilities. The most recent years are limited in terms of trim levels, but shopping for a used example a few years old opens the door to a wide range of options, all of which get the potent V8.

![2024 Nissan Titan Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5EYBYMjFLuvYjML7B1bpqi/2e08fad3088525e0e29f4194014f5258/2024_Nissan_Titan_Interior.jpg)

The Titan's interior isn't as luxurious as top models from Ford, Chevy, Ram, or GMC, but there's still plenty to like. Depending on the configuration, it can seat five or six people, with front buckets cutting seating by one. Back-seat passengers may find limited legroom, especially for taller adults, but the rear bench has more shape and support than some.

<a name="4.-nissan-frontier"></a>  
### 4. Nissan Frontier

__Model Years: 2020-2024__

__Price: $15,000+__

![2024 Nissan Frontier Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/3q0Mj8P9Co2222vcOaHxCr/52074503616333f6a4ffce3ac990431d/2024_Nissan_Frontier_Exterior.jpg)

The Nissan Frontier received a long-overdue update for the 2022 model year, giving it refreshed styling and a much nicer interior. However, it retained its V6 engine, which delivers strong acceleration and capability. Like the larger Titan, the Frontier is available in Pro-4X configurations that offer more rugged off-road capability and beefier styling.

![2024 Nissan Frontier Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2EF03OUtGgz38IUYyR3ZUz/e7401921207ba49d9e57a2cba939d501/2024_Nissan_Frontier_Interior.jpg)

Nissan makes the Frontier in crew cab and king cab configurations, with the crew seating five and the king seating four. Cloth upholstery is standard in lower trims, but more expensive models add leather or premium cloth. Recent models feature a large touchscreen with desirable functions such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and more.

<a name="5.-toyota-tundra"></a>  
### 5. Toyota Tundra

__Model Years: 2021-2023__

__Price: $22,000+__

![2023-toyota-tundra-ext](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5cKAJ5wKXuVF5KLVwPv0ua/293783a04d7a13ffeb4cc6102822d492/2023-toyota-tundra-ext.jpg)

Toyota redesigned the Tundra in 2024, swapping its long-running V8 engine for a twin-turbo V6 (a hybrid version was also available) and the previous-generation models have lots to offer. Despite some older tech and an outdated design, early 2020s Tundra models offer exceptional predicted reliability, substantial towing and payload stats, and plenty of standard features. 

![2023-toyota-tundra-int](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4Mu08xLXXeRkVDqJE0cVvH/d6f6ba4251aca61a737720358a33eb29/2023-toyota-tundra-int.jpg)

It's roomy inside, too, with wide, supportive buckets in the front and a shapely bench in the back. Newer models' interior finishes and designs are more modern and attractive than those of the outgoing V8s, but many will appreciate the previous generation's chunky controls and old-school aesthetic. Most recent Tundra models get a large touchscreen with smartphone mirroring, Bluetooth, SiriusXM, and more.

<a name="6.-toyota-tacoma"></a>  
### 6. Toyota Tacoma

__Model Years: 2019-2023__

__Price: $12,000+__

![2023-toyota-tacoma-ext](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/3XK1yR1ubiDWCn9XeKHB5i/8b0c319d5939818050a12fda7af38559/2023-toyota-tacoma-ext.jpg)

The midsize Tacoma pickup truck has many trims and configurations, including relatively sedate on-road-oriented models and rugged off-roaders. The new trucks only have a four-cylinder engine, but older models offered a four-cylinder or a V6. 

![2023-toyota-tacoma-int](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5RB7YwqOSlug3GxpUgmEDi/712e542c8a39b96be5cf43076d303aef/2023-toyota-tacoma-int.jpg)

While either choice makes a fine companion for the truck, the V6 offers stronger acceleration and a more engaging driving experience. Four-wheel drive is available with most variants, too, so you won't have to spring for the most expensive trim to get decent capability when the pavement ends.

Despite its popularity, one of the more persistent complaints about the Tacoma has been its awkward driving position. While the front seats are spacious and comfortable, they are mounted close to the floor, which can be uncomfortable for taller drivers. 

You don't have to look too far back to start seeing Tacomas without Apple CarPlay, as it was a relatively recent addition to the lineup. Still, older trucks are revered for their near-bulletproof reliability and formidable off-road chops.

### 7. Ford Ranger

__Model Years: 2019-2024__

__Price: $12,000+__

![2024-ford-ranger-ext](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/3UBmwx6n5shOK0UOVlVw6D/d3ceb8ceac36ec506ec81f12beb24a45/2024-ford-ranger-ext.jpg)

Ford revived the Ranger for the U.S. market back in 2019 after an eight-year hiatus, and its return brought Americans the capable midsize model that the rest of the world enjoyed for years. 

![2024-ford-ranger-int](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2ifIQJ7uI1MJkBvWZUv4sZ/d8c0304004b84ecc2f8cec58cabb4f68/2024-ford-ranger-int.jpg)

Ford updated the Ranger for 2024, but previous models got a powerful four-cylinder engine, excellent ground clearance, solid towing capacity, and decent tech. It offers a more effortless driving experience than its bigger siblings, as it's far more maneuverable and easier to live with than the full-size F-150. If you're looking for more off-road prowess, the latest Ranger Raptor is a good option, but be prepared to shell out big bucks for a new model.

The Ranger seats five people in a relatively straightforward cabin. Though it offers little in the way of frills, the space is comfortable and configured for good ergonomics. The front seats are spacious and well-padded, but the back bench leaves much to be desired, especially on longer trips. 

Most Ranger trims get a decent sized touchscreen running Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Ford's Sync infotainment interface is one of the more straightforward and intuitive systems on the market, bringing many compelling features. Depending on the trim, buyers may also get advanced safety gear such as blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts, forward collision warnings, automatic emergency braking, and more.

### 8. GMC Sierra

__Model Years: 2019-2024__

__Price: $16,000+__

![2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/11pMLHxXniUKHWXHw6ndUP/4762d5bd30ac34619ec5ad8a4fc2b2b7/2024_GMC_Sierra_1500_Exterior.jpg)

The Sierra offers a more upscale and luxurious experience than its Chevy counterpart, but retains all the characteristics that make both trucks useful to millions of buyers. It has four-cylinder, V8, and turbodiesel engine options, and four-wheel drive is available. In recent years, GMC has offered an AT4 trim, bringing beefier all-terrain tires, skid plates, and other off-road goodies. 

![2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4qaNoTqYC6EfdVunOad60G/1c6ae247605250461ffd278d8b8bb6f9/2024_GMC_Sierra_1500_Interior.jpg)

Any of the available configurations would make an excellent workhorse or family hauler, and the Sierra's premium attitude sets it apart from many competing trucks. Those who want more capability should opt for the GMC Sierra 2500 or Sierra 3500 over the mainstream Sierra 1500.

Like the Silverado, the Sierra offers a spacious cabin with lots of room across both rows. Several configurations are available, but crew cabs are the best for families and everyday drivers. Most trims get a touchscreen infotainment system with smartphone mirroring, while the newest Sierra models have Google built in.

<a name="9.-ram-1500"></a>  
### 9. Ram 1500

__Model Years: 2019-2024__

__Price: $7,000+__

![2024 Ram 1500 Front Left Side (Styling)](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6GV2aDHQFUtn5aNjgcmgnL/0ed31bbaf545515db2c267157dc502fe/2024_Ram_1500_Front_Left_Side__Styling_.jpg)

Ram split from Dodge several years ago, leaving the brand as Stellantis' truck maker of choice. The Ram 1500 has one of the best rides in the industry, and it's offered with a V6 or V8 engine, depending on the year. A diesel option was sporadically offered with certain trim levels, too. 

![2024 Ram 1500 Dashboard and Seats (Safety)](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/L3LfcHZbbfF2WqWYn7zxs/e99fcc2e2c5908bfc5ed86c509d9bb3d/2024_Ram_1500_Dashboard_and_Seats__Safety_.jpg)

Four-wheel drive is available, and there are many trims to choose from, ranging from mild to wild, especially the Hellcat-powered Ram 1500 TRX.

The Ram 1500's cabin edges on luxury in top trims, but the interiors of even the more affordable models are far smarter than you'd expect. Ram sells the truck in a crew-cab configuration, but buyers can choose between a front bench for six-person seating or front buckets, which cut accommodation to five. Top trims get rich leather upholstery, real wood trim, and more. 

The truck also has a large touchscreen infotainment system. Ram has the advantage of Stellantis' Uconnect infotainment interface, which offers more features and is easier to use than most competing systems. Ram also offered a 12-inch infotainment screen in the 1500, giving it an expansive and function-rich system that is easily one of the best.

### 10. GMC Canyon

__Model Years: 2021-2024__

__Price: $12,000+__

![2024 GMC Canyon Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/Do7EQcWjGDt2odyBAxXVe/1e4f776474ad123bb250eb16f0337952/2024_GMC_Canyon_Exterior.jpg)

Like the Ford Ranger, the Toyota Tacoma, and the Chevy Colorado, the GMC Canyon offers plenty of capability in a compact package that's easier to live with and maneuver, especially in urban areas. GMC offered a four-cylinder, a V6, and a diesel with previous models, while the new Canyon is only available with a four-cylinder. 

![2024 GMC Canyon Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/37KnSvM6T5QgPVsuz0QRGl/1883adad35c54bb1776da58a415efcd4/2024_GMC_Canyon_Interior.jpg)

The truck is available in several trims, including some with legitimate trail-rated capabilities. That said, the Canyon's payload and towing capacities are lower than half-ton or heavy-duty trucks, so choosing the right vehicle for the job is essential. 

Offered in crew cab only, the Canyon seats five in one of the more comfortable cabins in its segment. Interior materials range from basic cloth in lower trims to smart leather upholstery in more expensive configurations. The front seats offer a good amount of head and legroom, even for taller adults, but some may find the back bench lacking in shape and support. 

GMC added a touchscreen infotainment system in most recent models, which included Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, among several other features.

### 11. Chevrolet Colorado

__Model Years: 2021-2024__

__Price: $12,000+__

![2024-chevrolet-colorado-ext](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/7rJIQX1AcOErc35Fw1g4Ji/8368862189fb5e6a3f72207399806b9c/2024-chevrolet-colorado-ext.jpg)

The Chevy Colorado is a midsize pickup twin to the GMC Canyon and offers many of the same features and capabilities. It's available with a four-cylinder, a V6, or a diesel engine, depending on the year and configuration, and each one makes a fine companion. More dedicated off-roaders will want the beefier ZR2 trims, and Chevy offers upgrades such as heavy-duty suspension and all-terrain tires, although those features come at the expense of fuel economy. 

![2024-chevrolet-colorado-int](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/3D9fcFk1QOz7H2iLoRkFSs/57d493ad3d8a90ec5ea67495f67ca85e/2024-chevrolet-colorado-int.jpg)

The Colorado seats five in a crew cab-only configuration. The front seats are wide, supportive, and well padded, though the truck's interior quality bumps it down a few notches. Like the Canyon, the Colorado's back seat is less accommodating than the front buckets, but adults have a decent amount of space. Most variants have a large touchscreen infotainment system with many desirable features, including smartphone mirroring, Bluetooth, SiriusXM, and more.

### 12. Honda Ridgeline

__Model Years: 2020-2024__

__Price: $10,000+__

Some might speak ill of the Ridgeline because of its unibody construction, but the small truck has one of the best rides and one of the most comfortable interiors in the segment. It's fitted with a 3.5-liter V6 engine and some models are available with all-wheel drive. While it won't do heavy-duty work like a Ram 2500, the Ridgeline is more than capable, especially within its very reasonable price range. 

![2024 Honda Ridgeline Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/3RQtr5T9WQQUpae6yNSQyp/f8e712a5fd5611a0c32bec7e04dce853/2024_Honda_Ridgeline_Interior.jpg)

The truck seats five people in a strikingly SUV-like interior. The front seats are incredibly comfortable, offering good ergonomics and visibility of the generous tech features. 

Honda's infotainment interface could be better, but it runs well on the touchscreen system, and the interface brings loads of great features such as CarPlay and Bluetooth. The Ridgeline has advanced safety equipment, including adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts.
