We’re eagerly looking forward to getting our haul on with half these trucks next year—the other half may be a little farther out
It was a running gag around the Driving offices that the Tesla Cybertruck would be a constant fixture on this list until the sun went supernova — but then this past year, that company finally pulled up its stainless-steel socks and started deliveries on the angular metal block. Looks like we have a wedge-shaped hole in our pickup preview this year.

Not to worry. With a vast number of truck-loving gearheads on staff who enjoy wheeling over rough terrain as much as they do hooking up a trailer for some serious hauling, there’s no shortage of bed-liner brutes we hope to sample this coming annum. Let’s go.
2025 Ram 1500 RHO
2025 Ram 1500 REV and Ramcharger
2027 Scout Terra
The aim is to sell this rig under the ol’ Harvester name, a stroke of marketing genius which reaches into the brand’s deep bag of history.
2027 Ford Project T3
2025 Kia Tasman
An overall length of 213 inches (5,410 mm) would put the Tasman right in the thick of things in the North American market against similarly sized competitors, as would its towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. The truck will launch in its home market of Korea before rolling out to Australia, Africa, and the Middle East. Could it come to Canada? It’s not likely, but not impossible, either.
2027 Ram Dakota or Rampage
2025 Jeep Gladiator 4xe
We expect power to be in the neighbourhood of 375 horses and 470 lb-ft of torque if the Wrangler 4xe is any indication, though structural differences could result in a larger battery or other alterations.
2026 VinFast VF Wild
Bonus: 2025 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty
More power is always a good thing in our books, and, with the expected styling massage this year, we are looking forward to jumping behind the wheel.
