The Safest 2026 Pickup Truck Is Not What You Think
Only two 2026 pickup trucks earned IIHS safety awards this year, and the top winner may surprise a lot of truck buyers. In this week’s Pickup Truck Talk news recap, Cory breaks down which trucks made the list, why the Tesla Cybertruck earned the only Top Safety Pick+ award, why the Toyota Tundra was the only Top Safety Pick, and where Ford, Chevy and Ram landed in the newest IIHS testing.
Also in this episode: Ram and SRT appear to be planning eight new performance trucks and SUVs, Jeep could be bringing back the Scrambler with HEMI power and more cargo space than a Gladiator, a Toyota Tundra engine teardown appears to support Toyota’s manufacturing debris explanation, we grade our 2027 Chevy Silverado predictions, Ford teases a more affordable EV pickup, and we give a quick reminder for Father’s Day truck gifts.
