The F-150's popularity ensures a vast aftermarket

Here are three of what we think are the best pickup trucks to modify:

The Ford F-150 is a top choice for modifiers due to its extensive range of trims and powerful OEM engine options. 

Its aluminum body provides a lightweight yet durable foundation, perfect for performance enhancements.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 stands out with its sturdy construction and potent engine choices, including the monstrous 6.2-liter V8. 

Its robust frame and ample space under the hood make it a favorite for those looking to boost power and off-road capabilities.

The Silverado’s diverse range of factory options, like the Z71 off-road package, provides a solid starting point for further modifications, including suspension lifts, heavy-duty bumpers and high-performance brakes.

Jeep Gladiator

For off-road enthusiasts, the Jeep Gladiator is an excellent platform for modification. 

Built on Jeep’s legendary off-road pedigree, the Gladiator combines a truck’s utility with the off-road prowess of a Wrangler.
