PickupTrucks.com’s 2017 3/4-Ton Premium Truck Challenge named the best after testing four top-end crew-cab pickups with turbo-diesel engine options, four-wheel drive and as many towing features as possible.
The challenge included 21 empirical tests (many of which were conducted empty, loaded or towing a gooseneck trailer) and awarded unweighted points, with the winner in each category getting a score of 100, while the others received the appropriate portion of that score based on their relative performance. The rest of the points were distributed by five expert judges, each of whom awarded one to ten points in ten subjective categories.
