The number five spot belongs to the 2020 GMC Canyon.
“With class-leading towing and hauling capabilities, the GMC Canyon is a sturdy compact pickup with three powertrain options. Its cabin is trimmed with quality materials, and a 7-inch touch screen with smartphone integration comes standard,” writes U.S. News & World Report writer Jaclyn Trop.
When properly equipped, the 2020 GMC Canyon can tow a maximum weight of 7,700 pounds and earns an EPA-estimated 30 mpg on the highway. An available 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot offers on-the-road connectivity without sacrificing your data.

At one spot higher than the Canyon, the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 takes hold of the number four spot.
“The Sierra is covered by a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. With decent safety ratings and above-average predicted reliability, the GMC Sierra 1500 is a good choice if you are in the market for a full-size pickup truck,” according to Trop.
The 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 offers best-in-class ratings of:
- Horsepower and torque from available V8 engine
- Horsepower from diesel engine
- Maximum front leg and head room
The 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 also offers more space in the cargo bed than its competitors and features the versatile, help-you-get-work-done-easier, world’s first multi-faceted six-function MultiPro Tailgate. The available Multi-color Head-up Display and Rear Camera Mirror leads the class with innovative tech designed to make understanding and maneuvering the well-equipped light-duty truck less challenging.
