Trucks: America can’t get enough of them. With fresh choices in the compact space and a constant crop of new electric contenders, deciding which truck to buy is harder than ever.

Sales of Chevrolet’s Silverado line fell only slightly in 2022, falling to 523,249 from 529,765 last year. This is a very modest 1.2 percent decrease.
