Best buy, Midsize Truck - Toyota Tacoma
The Toyota Tacoma comes to us completely redesigned this year, with a major overhaul. In addition to a new exterior design and a completely redesigned interior, we're presented with unique 4-cylinder solutions, one of which will be a hybrid.
The model is relatively new, which invites caution. Historically, however, reliability is the order of the day.
What's most impressive about the new model is its roadholding, thanks to a new coil-sprung rear suspension. As a bonus, the company offers us the most powerful Tacoma ever. The new Trailhunter version, designed for extreme off-road driving, is also very promising.
Key qualities
- - Very high resale value
- - Reassuring history of reliability
- - Hybrid version offering 326 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque

Best buy, Full-size Truck - Ford F-150
Not too surprisingly, KBB identifies the best-selling model in the class as the best full-size pickup, and has done so for decades. The F-150 has also benefited from a major mid-cycle redesign for 2024. This sees the debut of a new type of tailgate with a side-opening section at its center.
Aesthetic and technological refinements ensure that Ford's offering remains the most up-to-date in its class.
Key qualities
- - Towing capacity of up to 14,000 lb
- - Pro Power Onboard system for connecting electrical appliances
- - Choice of engines and versions
