3. 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
A consistent entry in many ‘best lists’, the Chevrolet Silverado is back for 2017-18 packing the same features that made the Silverado one of the best and trusted pickups in America. Although many reviews painted the Silverado with average handling and braking, its power production and other amenities make it a great pickup to choose this year. You can count on the 4.3-liter V6 engine and a 6-speed automatic serves as a standard for the Silverado, and other optional engines are available for those who desire more power. Based on tests, the Chevy Silverado submits a combined 18 miles per gallon, and can move from 0 to 60 in 7.2 seconds.
