2021 Jeep Gladiator
Talking about the best pick-ups without mentioning the absolutely stunning Jeep Gladiator would be a huge mistake. It is one of the best mid-range pick-ups 2021 at present. It is the first-ever off-road truck, a star welcome addition to Jeep's pick-up truck segment.
The Gladiator comes with a mid-sized 31 inches of length, 70% of which fall away on the truck's wheelbase. This feature offers an excellent towing capacity and not to mention amazing ride quality.4
2021 Ford Ranger
If you're looking for a great small size, light-duty pick-up, but with amazing capabilities, Ford Ranger is the best deal for you. It sports several excellent features that make it shine among its competitors. While a next-gen version of this truck has already been declared in Australia, the version we have in the US will keep shining in throughout 2021. The starting price is as low as $24,000, which is quite great for a branded mid-range truck in the USA. However, for a full-sized model, you'll have to pay around $37,000, which is again worth the amount.5
