On this special day, as we honor the contributions and sacrifices of our veterans, let’s take a moment to dive into a fun yet meaningful discussion: If you could choose a different truck besides the one you currently own, which one would it be?
Whether it's for its rugged durability, off-road capability, or simply its iconic style, trucks have always been a symbol of strength and resilience—values deeply tied to the spirit of our veterans. So, let’s hear it: Which truck would you pick and why?
Take part in the poll and share your reasons in the comments! If your dream truck isn’t listed, feel free to add it in the comments below. And for those who aren’t veterans, we’d still love to hear your opinions—every perspective is welcome!
Let’s celebrate this day together by honoring our veterans and sharing our passion for trucks!

Well being I have owned nothing but Ford trucks, F150 Raptor, F150 FX4, several Expeditions, and a 2024 RR, I have my 25 XLT FX4 2.7 and can't believe how much I enjoy it, There is a reason it was 2025 truck of the year, its an amazing truck. So if you are talking trucks, hard to best out a Ranger.

if the ranger was not available, i would have gotten a frontier. the tacoma was to expensive because the only thing i wanted was independent rear suspension.

i like nissan and have had a frontier and titan previously so i am comfortable with their stuff. yes, there is very little aftermarket support and nothing like forscan but they are good trucks.

Probably a regular cab 4x4 F150 with a supercharged 5.0.

I would go with the Raptor R, which I would have but I wanted something smaller coming from a 2014 Raptor (supercab) which already felt too big for daily driving.

A Ranger Raptor R would be dream car.

Since I'm a Ford fan boy :devil:, if not a Ranger, then a Maverick. I rarely tow or haul stuff. F150s are a bit too big for my needs.

If staying midsize (still fits in the garage)...probably ..... bite my tongue....a GMC Canyon. If I had the space to go full size F-150 with a 5.0l V8.

If I had to pick from new trucks, it would be a new Tacoma.

To be honest, I would buy a truck for a completely different use case. The Ranger Raptor solves several different use cases for me in one vehicle.

Previously. My daily driver was a 2007 Audi S6 with a tuned 500hp v10. I also have a 2014 F150 FX4 for hauling and off-road duties.
The Ranger Raptor provides a vehicle that addresses both of those vehicles and adds a few new capabilities.

I don’t think I would have bought a new truck if the Ranger Raptor didn’t exist.
