As automotive technology has evolved over the years, today’s pickup trucks have become larger, faster, and more powerful than ever. Because of this, they are some of the world’s best-selling vehicles and are in high demand each and every year. But for many who purchase a truck, they’re just getting started. That’s because, with their powerful engines and tougher-than-ever bodies, today’s trucks are perfect for those who love hot rods, street rods, and high-performance engines. If this sounds like you, here are five of the highest-performing trucks of 2018.

The best-selling truck worldwide for over 30 years, the F-150 has plenty going for it. One of its best features is the 450-horsepower, twin-turbo V6 engine, which gives it plenty of towing and hauling power. Combine this with a smooth ride and great gas mileage, and you’ve got a proven winner. More information about the F-150 can be found at cars.usnews.com/car-trucks/ford/f-150.

Running a close second to Ford, the compact Tacoma offers plenty of power in a small package. Great for off-road fun, most drivers prefer the 278-horsepower V6 engine, which when combined with off-road suspension can get the Tacoma up the toughest of mountain roads.
Nissan Titan

Recently redesigned, the Titan is arguably as powerful a full-size truck as you’ll find. With a 390-horsepower V8, it can go virtually anywhere. And with a well-insulated cabin to keep out noise, the Titan is great for riding around town or through the countryside.
Chevrolet Silverado

Along with Ford, the Chevy Silverado has been a best-seller for decades. Possessing one of the most powerful V8 engines in its class, a very classy cabin that comes complete with numerous options, and a sleek redesign that gets it noticed wherever it may be, the Silverado is almost too good to pass up.
Ram 1500

Considered the classiest full-size pickup truck of 2018, the Ram 1500 is the total package for many truck buyers who love power and style. Similar to Ford in that it offers powerful engines and luxury cabins, the Ram 1500 also offers other popular options such as a rear-view camera, and for some buyers who love extra power, a V8 turbo-diesel engine.
