Best Full-Size Pickup Truck: 2022 Ford F-150

Here is one category where Ford has every reason to expect it will go home with the trophy, although the Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado do put some some awfully tough competition.

In the end, though, it’s the monstrously popular F-150 that takes the prize, again. For Ford, it’s the truck that just won’t stop giving. Giving it sales, profits, and trophies, that is.

What KBB liked:

- Best-in-class towing and payload capacities
- Super-handy on work sites
- Hybrid and (soon) electric powertrains in the offering
- On-board generator
- It’s an F-150, for pete’s sake
