SUV Rankings: Affordable Compact SUVs
View the best small SUVs, generally priced below $30,000. Compare small SUV reviews and specs to find a top compact SUV for you
Although there are only a handful of truck choices on the market, the full-size pickup is the most popular segment in America. Likewise the number of available body-on-frame SUVs is shrinking. Despite the lack of competition, there are some standouts in these segments. Trucks and body-on-frame SUVs offer consumers off-road capability as well as on-road utility such as towing and passenger and cargo hauling. Here is a list of some of our favorite pickup trucks and truck-based SUVs.
SUV Rankings: Affordable Crossover SUVs
View the best crossovers, covering crossover SUVs generally priced below $35,000. Compare crossover reviews, specs and features then find the best local prices for your top crossovers.
Each year, putting together the "Best in Class" story gets a little tougher. For starters, the quality and capability of the vehicles in every category improves. For the most part, today's trucks, SUVs, and vans aren't penalty boxes. In addition, it gets harder to separate vehicles into the different categories. It's difficult enough to pick winners for each category-- factor in determing the what the categories themselves should be, and it's exponentially harder. We also strive to make sure the comparisons within each category are as fair as possible.
That's why we continue to work on our Best in Class categories. We have stuck to our new treatment of the Midsize SUV category, which is based on towing capacity instead of wheelbase length. That does a better job of keeping competitive vehicles together. Within that segment, we have a slight change. We have split the trucks between those that can tow up to 4500 pounds and those that can tow more, and split them again between vehicles offering luxury amenities and those that don't. We figure that buyers in this segment either want to buy capability or luxury cachet -- or maybe both.
In the Vans category, we give Full-Size and Compact each its own award. The truck categories remain the same, as do Hard-Core 4x4, Full-Size SUV, and Factory Power Runner. All vehicles here are from the 2014 model year, and all specifications are from the manufacturers' media sites, accurate as of press time. Prices reflect the specific models listed in each category, and in some cases include optional equipment. The Power Wagon's specifications are for the 2013 model year, as the 2014s were not on sale as of press time.
