The Ford F-150 has been America’s best-selling truck for decades. It’s reliable, powerful, and packed with features that appeal to a wide range of drivers. But it’s not the only full-size (or “half-ton”) pickup on the market. If you’re looking for an alternative, whether for towing power, luxury, off-road capability, or a different brand preference, here are all the full-size trucks available in 2025.
Ram 1500
The Ram 1500 is known for its smooth ride, thanks to an available air suspension system. It offers several engine options, including a 3.6L V6 with eTorque, a 5.7L HEMI V8, and a high-output twin-turbo inline-six with up to 540 horsepower. Inside, the Ram 1500 features one of the most luxurious cabins in the segment, with premium materials and a massive 14.5-inch touchscreen. It has a max towing capacity of around 12,750 pounds. The Ram 1500 also won Car & Driver’s Best Full-Size Pickup Trucks for 2025, besting the F-150, which came in second place.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500
The Silverado 1500 is built for those who need a tough and capable truck. It comes with multiple engine choices, including a 2.7L turbo-four, a 5.3L V8, a 6.2L V8, and a 3.0L Duramax diesel. The Silverado can tow up to 13,300 pounds when properly equipped. Inside, it features an available 13.4-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving system on certain trims.
GMC Sierra 1500
The Sierra 1500 is essentially the Silverado’s more premium sibling. It offers the same powertrains and towing capacity but comes with a more refined interior, especially in the Denali and Denali Ultimate trims. The MultiPro tailgate adds versatility and the available Super Cruise driver-assist system makes highway driving easier. The Sierra 1500 AT4X trim is designed for off-road enthusiasts, featuring enhanced suspension and underbody protection. All told, it’s another American half-ton alternative to the F-150.
Toyota Tundra
Toyota redesigned the Tundra recently, making it a serious competitor in the full-size segment. It comes standard with a twin-turbo 3.4L V6, while the i-Force Max hybrid variant delivers an impressive 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. The Tundra can tow up to 12,000 pounds and features a coil-spring rear suspension for a smoother ride. Inside, it offers an available 14-inch touchscreen and a rugged but refined cabin.
Nissan Titan
The Nissan Titan is a straightforward, no-nonsense full-size truck. It comes standard with a 5.6L V8 producing 400 horsepower, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The Titan’s towing capacity maxes out at 9,400 pounds—less than some competitors, but still plenty for most truck owners. The Titan XD model offers a heavier-duty frame for those needing extra capability.
The Ford F-150 dominates the full-size truck market, but there are strong competitors for those looking for something different. Whether you prioritize luxury, off-road capability, towing power, or long-term reliability, there’s a full-size truck to match your needs. Test drive a few options and see which one feels right for you.
