6. Toyota Tundra
Edging up on its domestic rivals is the Toyota Tundra. The Tundra is a full-size truck for someone that wants a pickup that stands out, but not too much. Competitively priced and well-equipped, the Tundra has the makings of a top-3 competitor, but falls far back in numbers for some reason.
Standard equipment includes an electric brake controller, easy lift and lower tailgate, backup camera, and an assortment of power goodies. Pricing is perhaps the biggest surprise – a fully-loaded 1794 Edition rings in at the $47,000 mark. The similarly-equipped Ram 1500 Limited is an extra five grand. As usual, great value from Toyota. 115,489 Tundras hit the streets in America for the first time in 2016.
5. Toyota Tacoma
The only midsize truck to beat its full-size sibling is the Toyota Tacoma. This midsize pickup has big attitude, visible from first glance and every look thereafter. The Tacoma is bred as a plaything, a weekend warrior. But it’s oh so much more. Available Multi-Terrain Select and CRAWL make the Tacoma an off-road master, combined with FOX shox and RIGID Industries LED fog lights for an aggressive presence.
Tacoma is making a sprint up the best-selling trucks list. Closing in on the domestic full-size trucks, the Tacoma sold 191,631 units last year.
4. GMC Sierra
Like the Canyon, the Sierra is left to its own devices in the larger truck category. In appearance, it seems to outdo its cousin, the Silverado, and with just a minor bump in price. It boggles the mind why the Sierra comes in a distant 4th place, barely edging out the midsize Tacoma.
Expect the boldest of front appearances with brazen HID headlights and bright flashes of chrome. Inside, you’ll sink into comfort and a quiet ride courtesy of Bose noise cancellation. The Sierra is simply a great truck with not enough sold. Its sales plateau for 2016 at 221,680 sold.
