Best Diesel Trucks

Car and Driver’s rankings are arrived at from the results of our extensive instrumented testing of several hundred vehicles each year and from our expert editors’ subjective impressions gained in real-world driving. We’ve ranked the Best Diesel Trucks based on our testing of both gas and diesel versions of each model encompassing roughly 200 data points covering acceleration, handling, comfort, cargo space, fuel efficiency, value, and how enjoyable they are to drive. We take rankings seriously because we want you to know everything about the vehicles that you’re interested in. The list here includes both heavy-duty and light-duty diesel models.
