Four Wheeler magazine recently tested four of this year’s hottest new trucks to hit the market. Putting the Chevy Colorado, Nissan Titan, Ram Rebel and Toyota Tacoma to some serious on- and off-road tests, seven staff members were on the hunt for Four Wheeler Magazine’s 2016 Pickup Truck of the Year.

The five-day competition, covering nearly 1,000 miles in each truck, was a grueling battle that scored each manufacturer in the following categories:
- Trail performance (30 percent)
- Empirical data (25 percent)
- On-pavement performance (20 percent)
- Interior and exterior appearance (15 and 10 percent, respectively)
“If there’s one word to describe the Ram 1500 Rebel, it’s balanced,” said Four Wheeler Editor Christian Hazel. “No matter what we threw at the Ram 1500 Rebel, it just flat-out worked with no drama, no excuses and no compromises.
