For our Best Pickup Truck award, our watch words are power, capability and value. Here are the best pickup trucks for 2022.

A combination of dogged efforts and sheer luck landed us a well-equipped 2022 Maverick Lariat with the hybrid engine, a combination that’s been sold out for new orders since late last year.

Along with crash tests, safety features and accommodation of family members and their gear, we consider family-friendly features and overall excellence.

After narrowing the field to the most affordable models in several popular classes based on average prices listed on Cars.com, we choose our value favorites based on features, warranties and overall performance for the money.

Along with general excellence, the best cars represent ultimate luxury in their class and/or are exceptionally well-rounded, providing their luxury along with above-average usability and drivability.

For the best electric vehicles, in addition to overall excellence, we pay extra attention to the aspects with which many EVs stumble, such as ride quality and charging speed.

For the best eco-friendly cars, we consider all vehicles that reduce consumption and/or minimize the release of carbon and pollutants, regardless of fuel type.
