The Safest 2026 Pickup Truck Is Not What You Think

This video was first publish on Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk

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.
