About This Quiz

F-150; Ridgeline; Tacoma; Dakota; Colorado; Silverado -- the names of many top pickup truck models roll right off the tongue, and many of these sturdy vehicles are easy to recognize thanks to their popularity -- not to mention how ubiquitous they are in advertising. Yet as easy as it is to remember the model, the name of the manufacturer can be tougher to come up with. Think you can match make and model? Prove it with this quiz!

Forget sedans and convertibles, Americans are wild about their trucks. In fact the top three selling vehicles in the United States in the first half of 2018 were all pickup trucks. The top-selling vehicle, the F-150, not only topped the sales charts in 2018, but has been the bestselling vehicle in the U.S. for more than three decades! 

So why all that pickup truck love? There's the obvious -- these trucks can carry a heavy load. Whether you're helping a buddy move, bringing home a new piece of furniture or loading up your work tools, a pickup can hold way more than the average car. Beyond cargo space, however, the truck just has a certain rugged appeal that even the best sedan can't offer.

If we give you a popular truck model, can you match it to the correct maker? Take our quiz to find out!
