  • Ford, Chevy, and Ram will have revamped full-size pickup trucks in the US market.
  • The stage is set for an epic battle among these hot-selling rides.
  • The main contest will be between the Ford and Chevy, but don't discount the Ram's appeal.


Last year, Ford enjoyed its first year of full sales for its new F-150 pickup truck. The bestselling vehicle in the US for over four decades, the F-150 along with the rest of the F-Series will close out 2017 with nearly a million in total sales.

Last year began with a bumpy start for the F-150 as Ford brought the new truck - assembled with lightweight aluminum - to market. Crosstown rival General Motors and its Chevy division will likely face the same thing in 2018 with its own full-size pickup, the Silverado. The new truck, usually America's second-best-selling vehicle, will debut in a few weeks at the Detroit auto show and go on sales later this year.

A third combatant will also take the field: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand will also unveil a new 1500 pickup in Motown.

Obviously, the stage is set for an epic pickup-truck battle in 2018. So how do these three champions stack up against each other?
