The 2020 Contractors Pickup Truck Guide

Shopping for a pickup isn’t what it used to be.

That’s because pickups aren’t what they used to be. Gone are the days of the no-frills workhorse that you’d run into the ground before getting a new truck. Now, pickups are the most popular version of luxury vehicles today with many average sticker prices hover at or above $50,000. If you want, you can spec one of Ford’s latest Super Duty trucks to cost $100,000.

That’s why we created this guide to the 2020 model year of pickups. Download for free with the button below, look inside and you’ll find information on each new half-ton and one-ton truck on the market along with photos, spec breakdowns and rankings. At the top of this book we’ve also included a guide to pickup truck buying based on an interview with a professional car and truck buyer. There’s a good chance you might never look at truck buying the same way after reading it.
