Top Full-Size Pickup Trucks of 2019KeepAsking

When you examine what makes the automotive industry tick, there’s nothing that plays as big a part as competition. 2019 is no exception as titans of the automotive industry fight to dominate their competition with this line-up of stellar full-size pickup trucks.

 

2019 Chevrolet Silverado

Trims

Completely redesigned for the 2019 year, the Chevrolet Silverado starts off our list strong. Although the team at Chevrolet has worked on shaving weight — removing 300 pounds from the frame — they’ve managed to improve the size of both the cabin and truck bed. New standard features and additional engine options make this a big year for the Silverado.

Keeping with the wide selection of trims, this is one vehicle you can customize to your heart’s content. Five available powertrains and multiple choices in cab size only increase the range of options.

The standard 285-horsepower V6 is suitable for daily driving, but if you’re planning on towing or hauling loads often, you can upgrade to one of several V8 engines. The main drawback to adding additional power under the hood is that you’ll see losses in fuel efficiency. That said with its average 17 combined mpg, this is still a fairly efficient truck for the class.

The Silverado comes standard with a seven-inch touchscreen and a six-speaker speaker setup, but you’ll see improvements to the cabin in higher trims. Likewise, standard Teen Driver systems and a rearview camera can be bolstered with upgrades of additional safety features.

2019 Ford F-150

Trims

The Ford F-150 is a standout of the full-size class, and as such, Ford didn’t bother to change much for the 2019 year. Minor alterations to the Limited and Raptor trims won’t be relevant to most shoppers but may be of interest if you’ve got an open budget.

Six engine choices make this vehicle’s setup depend on the utility you need it for. The standard 290-horsepower V6 moves the F-150’s frame with competent handling, but a trio of 395-horsepower V8 options offer heightened horsepower and speedier maneuvering. Plus, the F-150 has one of the best fuel economies of its class — a combined base mileage of 22 mpg.

You won’t benefit from many standard infotainment features here as it’s pretty much just the radio and a heater in the base model. Upgraded trims see additions like automatic climate control and an eight-inch touchscreen.

Standard safety features are relatively broad. Automatic high beams, pedestrian sensors, and automatic emergency brakes are just a few of the features you’ll benefit from in the base F-150 trim.

2019 Dodge Ram 1500

Trims

Like the Silverado, the Dodge Ram 1500 has seen a complete redesign for the 2019 year. Hauling and towing numbers have increased substantially over past years, but you’ll see improvements in overall body weight that make your vehicle handle more effectively. These adjustments make the Ram 1500 one of 2019’s best full-size trucks.

You’ll have two powertrains to choose from when you order the 2019 Ram 1500. A 305-horsepower V6 and a 395-horsepower V8 engine provide roughly comparable gas mileage to those of the Ford F-150 at 23 combined mpg. As such, both engines provide roughly comparable in driving experience but take note that the V8 engine does require slightly higher-grade fuel compared to most competitors.

A five-inch touchscreen and push-button start are just two of the several standard features in the interior cabin, but if you’ve got a taste for luxury, the available touchscreen selection goes up to a whopping 12-inches. Additional available features come in higher trims.

Perhaps to make up for the solid infotainment selection, a rear camera is the only standard safety feature. You’ll need to upgrade your trim to benefit from safety features like adaptive cruise control and frontal crash alerts.

2019 Nissan Titan

Trims

Nissan didn’t change much for the 2019 Nissan Titan. The major benefits of the 2019 year come in the form of expansions to the suite of standard features.

All trims come with a choice of gas or diesel powertrains. Both versions of the engine yield 390-horsepower, but the diesel results in higher towing numbers. Unfortunately, the 18 combined mpg on the 2019 Nissan Titan doesn’t go quite far enough to counter the year’s most advanced competitors.

Standard infotainment features like a seven-inch touchscreen and 10-speaker system improve this truck’s value a little. Available upgrades to the infotainment system add navigation and Siri Eyes Free technology.

Standard safety features are limited to a rearview camera. The suite of available additions is slim, offering only a handful of features like blind spot monitoring and parking sensors.

2019 Toyota Tundra

Trims

The 2019 Toyota Tundra skimps out on the changes for the new season. While the TRD Pro trim returns, you won’t see many other changes from 2018.

The two available powertrains range from a 310-horsepower V8 to a larger 381-horsepower V8 that comes standard once you pass the Limited trim. With combined mpg of 16 and 15 respectively, fuel economy is substandard for the class in both engines.

Even the standard model of the 2019 Toyota Tundra is equipped with a touchscreen and voice commands that let you start your vehicle with a few words. The available breadth of additional features is similar to those offered across the class.

Standard safety features like pre-collision warnings and pedestrian detection sensors are compiled into the Toyota Safety Sense P suite. Additional blind spot monitoring and parking sensors are available, but most safety features come standard in this 2019 model of the Toyota Tundra.
