When it comes to choosing between pickup trucks, it can be tough to single out the best of the best. With the help of competitions like the Light-Duty Pickup Truck Challenge, conducted by PickupTrucks.com, drivers can get some guidance as they seek out the top options for their needs. 

PickupTrucks.com pitted six of the top trucks against each other for its Light-Duty Pickup Truck Challenge. At the end of the competition, the Ford F-150 narrowly beat the Ram 1500 for the No. 1 spot. The two models also outdistanced the four other entrants, which were the GMC Sierra 1500, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Nissan Titan Pro 4-X and Toyota Tundra. 

Each truck was judged based on how it performed in a number of categories, including hill climb ability, fuel economy, handling, and acceleration and braking. They were also evaluated on the quality of the interior and exterior, towing capabilities and the value for the price. 

"The F-150 is the best-selling half-ton truck in the U.S., and after conducting this testing, it's no surprise why," said Mark Williams, the editor of PickupTrucks.com. "It was a tight contest, with Ford, Ram and GMC finishing close together, but the F-150's performance and capability gave it an edge. Shoppers looking … in this competitive truck market have several great options and should consider which one best meets their needs." 

With the Ford F-150 claiming the title of the top selling truck as well as the winner of this challenge, many motorists may consider models from the lineup as a possibility for their next car. Drivers searching for a top truck selection can look at the assortment of vehicles at NJ State Auto Auction. The auction lot is home to a number of CARFAX-certified cars, trucks and vans, meaning you can find a used vehicle capable of handling anything.
