Decades ago, pickup trucks became much more than utility vehicles. These days, each manufacturer offers luxurious variants of its pickup, which come packed with loads of premium features, whether it’s about standard equipment, interior materials, or something third. Of course, the same trend will continue in the future and the next year will even bring some novelties in this aspect to us. By novelties, with think of the even higher level of luxury than before.
We will see more luxury trim levels of the familiar nameplates in the world of pickup trucks, but also keep in mind that new players are entering the game as well. This particularly refers to electric pickup trucks. These models will be very expensive, which is the fact that makes them luxurious, even though we still don’t know for sure the level of interior quality, number of features etc.
So, here is our list of top 2023 luxury pickup trucks:
Ford F-150 Platinum and Limited
Platinum and Limited are the two trim levels that sit at the top of the F-150 range. Although mid-range options like Lariat are already well-equipped, these two come with features you would normally expect to see in a luxury SUV. For example, the Platinum comes standard with massaging seats, power-deployable running boards and traffic sign recognition. The price is also premium, as it starts at around 60.000 dollars.
For an extra $10.000, you can get the Limited trim, which offers even more equipment. This model comes equipped with goodies like a mightful 18-speaker audio system, as well as with power tailgate with a deployable step, trailer reverse guidance, trailer backup assist, a moonroof, a surround-view parking camera system, parallel and perpendicular park assist.
Ram 1500 Limited
The current generation of Ram’s half-ton pickup has been around for a couple of years and has already become famous for its impressive interior quality. That’s particularly noticeable in the Limited trim, which starts at around 57.000 dollars.
The interior combines leather and other premium materials, while the build quality is excellent. Also, there is a long list of premium features that you can’t get in lower trim levels. Some of the highlights are features like a 12-inch vertically oriented touch screen, power running boards, a four-corner air suspension system, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, and wireless device charging.
The Ram 1500 Limited comes standard with a 5.7-liter V8 engine, but you can also configure it with a 3.0-liter turbodiesel.
Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country
Chevy may not have versions that are as luxurious as rivals from Ram and Ford, but the High Country is a fairly equipped pickup truck. It comes with unique styling details, which emphasize its range-topping character, while we also like the fact that you can configure it with both gasoline and diesel engine.
Also, we expect to see a big update next year, with a new interior design, which will look more upscale than before. Naturally, we also expect to see more features, including a bigger infotainment screen. Among features you can’t get in cheaper versions of Silverado 1500, we should mention tech goodies like a digital gauge cluster, a seven-speaker Bose audio system, navigation, and wireless device charging.
The current Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country starts at around 55.000 dollars.
