Our Top Pickups for 2023!

Pickup trucks are all the rage in Canada, and they have been since the first time someone secured a larger loading bay onto the back of a vehicle. However, since the birth of the classic Australian Ute, the pickup has had a larger role to play in its owners’ lives. The Ute was pivotal because it was a luxury pickup that could toil on a farm in the week, but was still classy enough to take a family out gallivanting over the weekend. 

Today, most modern pickups try to fulfill the same task; be capable and formidable, but also luxurious and packed to the rafters with creature comforts. To help you in your search, we’ve compiled a list of our five favourite pickups of 2023. Rest assured, every single one of the vehicles below has both workhorse and show pony capabilities.
