15 Awful Years From Popular Pickup Models

Even the most popular pickup trucks in the world have awful years - no model is perfect. These are the worst years from popular pickups.

There are a ton of amazing trucks in the automobile world today. This is why this type of vehicle is constantly among the top of sales each and every release year. Yet, even with this being the case, it is apparent that even the best of series have made mistakes along the way that they wish they could take back. Of course, this cannot happen, so we will always remember them.

This article will be looking at 15 awful years from popular pickup models. Some of these entries may surprise you, as it is hard to imagine there ever being a bad truck with these names. Alas, there are years where brands just make massive mistakes when building them, and it results in complete madness for them. At the end of the day, this info is good to know, as it will stop you from buying a bad truck.

Now, let's proceed!

15 2020 Ford Ranger

The 2020 Ford Ranger is a massive letdown, as it is the return of this amazing series. Yet, this truck would prove to be disastrous, as it clearly is far too weak with power. It also has been criticized by critics for its boring style and poor brakes. We would not recommend this car.

14 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a truck that needs to be avoided entirely. It has a very weak structure, so it is prone to having serious problems very quickly. It easily is the worst to ever come from this series, as it is apparent that it lacks in any true amount of reliability.

13 2005 Nissan Frontier

The 2005 Nissan Frontier is seen as the worst truck from this series by far, as it is notorious for its transmission problems. This is quite a shame, as it was a truck that had a lot of potential to be reliable. Yet, it just did not happen this way for it, as it is absolutely a lemon.

12 2016 GMC Sierra 1500

The 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 may seem to be an alluring pickup, but at the end of the day, it is honestly a mess. This is due to the fact that it has been having a ton of engine problems since the start of its time on the primary market. We absolutely see it as the worst to ever come from this series.

11 2020 Toyota Tundra

The new 2020 Toyota Tundra is already the worst to ever come from this brand. Its awful on-road driving quality makes it quite the burden to drive, especially when needed in working conditions. This really goes against this brand's philosophy of building dependable cars.

10 2008 Chevrolet Colorado

The 2008 Chevrolet Colorado was truly a dark time for this series. This is because it would go on to have a lot of major problems when it came to its engine and handling. It definitely is the type of used pickup that you need to avoid entirely. Nothing good will ever come out of this model.

9 2014 Ram 1500

The 2014 Ram 1500 definitely is not the release to buy from the series. It would prove to be very disastrous, as it came with a high degree of steering and transmission problems. Anything else from the 1500 series would be better to purchase than this piece of junk.

8 2007 Toyota Tacoma

The 2007 Toyota Tacoma may seem like a cool truck to buy from the second hand market, as it is quite affordable. However, it is unlike the other Tacoma models, as it comes with a massive amount of engine and suspension trouble. It is not a truck we would recommend to drive, especially if you hope to get tasks done.

7 2006 Honda Ridgeline

The 2006 Honda Ridgeline would be a complete lemon, as its engine was prone to every problem in the book. This would not paint a good picture for the series itself, as people began to avoid them entirely. Thankfully, recent years have allowed Honda to redeem themselves, however.

6 2015 GMC Canyon

The 2015 GMC Canyon definitely is a vehicle that would cause a lot of anger with its drivers. This is because of the clear fact that it came with a high degree of steering delays from the very start. As a result of this, it is apparent that it is the worst Canyon model we have ever seen.

5 2010 Ford F-150

The 2010 Ford F-150 took a major step back for the brand, as it honestly would be a complete mistake. This is largely because of the fact that it was way too weak when it came to its structure. This would make it break down, especially when tasked to carry large loads.

4 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

The 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 would make a lot of its buyers frustrated, as it was known for needing repairs from the get go. These models still are rather expensive today as well, as a lot of people still think its a good heavy duty pickup. Yet, at the end of the day, it is honestly trash.

3 2019 Nissan Titan XD

The 2019 Nissan Titan XD is loathed, especially by critics, because of the fact that it is entirely outclassed by its entire competition. This would make it prone to having a lot of problems from the get go as well. This is why this is a heavy duty truck that is not meant to be used in working conditions.

2 2006 Nissan Titan

Now, looking at the regular Titan series, the worst to come from this one is the 2006 release. Overall, this was a truck that was fine at first, but would age horrifically. This is a truck that clearly was built to crumble, as the brand focused primarily on its other models that year.

1 2015 Dodge Ram 2500

The 2015 Dodge Ram 2500 is the final truck on this list. We definitely are not big fans of this release, as it would become well known for its handling issues. This would make it a bit unpredictable to drive. Also, its rough ride did not mesh well with this weakness, so people just are not happy with this product to this very day.
