We aren't be surprised there are so many people who desperately love pickup trucks so much. These vehicles are the ultimate fusion of the things we love most: power, utility, and freedom.

A proper pickup truck is equally at home running daily errands as it is a workhorse capable of moving almost an entire home with a full bed and a trailer hitch. Also, when you want to get away from society, there's the possibility of taking it off-road and going truck-camping. With that in mind, let's check out the most powerful modern pickup trucks on the market.
