Cheapest pickup trucks to run
Fuel is the running cost you pay every week, and it is the one that separates two cars wearing the same badge by four figures a year. This ranks pickup trucks on what the EPA says a year of driving costs — gasoline, electricity or both — the only figure that lets a gas car, a hybrid, a plug-in and an EV stand in the same table.

Annual fuel is the EPA's own figure at 15,000 miles and its reference fuel prices; every model page recalculates it from your mileage and your prices. Where these come from.
