Ford F-Series Superduty
The third generation of F-Series Superduty trucks came into the picture in the 2011 model year. It’s a hot truck, and it has a loyal following. Luckily, the 6.0-liter Powerstroke engine was long gone already, otherwise popular opinion could be dramatically different.
Under the hood, either a gas 6.2-liter Boss V8, a 6.8-liter Triton V10 gas job or a 6.7-liter Powerstroke diesel engine can be found. The diesel behemoth hauls anything you want, courtesy of 800 lb-ft of torque.
GMC Sierra HD

Nearly an exact copy of the Silverado HD, the Sierra HD is a popular truck for sure. Like the Silverado HD, the turbodiesel Duramax engine is a popular choice.
Truck buyers also had the option of a factory-installed spray-in bedliner. The front of the truck looks a little different, and dare-we-say classier, than the Silverado. And to spruce up an already nice truck, the Denali trim level equips the Sierra HD with the finest implements you’ll find in any pickup truck on the continent. No wonder their owners adore them.
Honda Ridgeline
In 2014, the Honda Ridgeline was getting long in the tooth. It had been around for 10 years, largely unchanged in design, so Honda packed it in for a little while. But that last year, the 2014 model year, was still just as popular and dependable as ever.
It could be the 3.5-liter engine Honda is known best for. It could be the i-VTM4 AWD system. Or it could be the comfort of driving an SUV with the function of a small pickup…but probably not. Nearly everyone remembers the Ridgeline best for its in-bed trunk and dual-action tailgate (A tailgate protector is one of the top 10 truck accessories, FYI). And those side stanchions that made it stand out like a sore thumb.
