We all know someone who has dropped a lot of coin on a fancy-pants luxury car. But how about those who go out and drop some significant dollars on a fancy truck? If you didn’t know that trucks are quickly becoming more and more expensive, with extensive options for additional features, powertrains, and technology, then consider this your primer.
That’s right, the world’s truck builders are really stepping up their game. These days, you can buy a truck that is not only extremely powerful, but that is also fuel efficient and quite luxurious. While the traditional concept of a pickup is that it is a tool for getting dirty, dinged up, and stressed, many consumers are adopting them as simple commuter vehicles, sparingly used for heavy-duty work.

Naturally, with more-refined trucks hitting the market, prices are inching up as well. Pickups from Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, and Ram are of course leading the way in the newer ‘luxury pickup’ segment, with new spins on classic trucks. So, which trucks absolutely tip the scales in terms of price? There are numerous out there, and we picked out the top 10 for you.
Read on to see the top 10 most expensive pickup trucks on the market.

10. Silverado 1500 High Country

The highest trim level of Chevy’s Silverado 1500, the High Country, can reach price levels of more than $50,000 with the correct options. The High Country Silverado 1500, with a crew cab standard box configuration, 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine and the max trailering package really racks up the options — and the price. Of course, Chevy has put some considerable effort into revamping its pickup truck line as of late, and the 2015 Silverado 1500 High Country is a perfect example of what a rather simple light-duty truck can be. Of course, there are an insane number of configurations to choose from, so bringing the price down considerably is also an option.

9. Ram 3500 Heavy Duty Laramie Limited

Though Ram doesn’t really build trucks that have prices that top out over Ford and GM, they do have some pretty expensive models. Among them is the Ram 3500 Heavy Duty Laramie Limited, possibly the biggest and exclusive truck in the Ram lineup. For a price of $54,240, this Ram pickup gives you max towing capability of more than 29,000 pounds thanks to 865 pound-feet of torque, generated from a 6.7-liter Cummins turbo engine, or a 6.4-liter HEMI V8. This truck is truly pricey and powerful.

8. Ford F-250 Platinum

The smallest — although it’s not very small at all — pickup in the Ford Super Duty series, the F-250 is a sure-fire classic truck, having been on the market for decades. It’s available in a variety of trims and shapes, but the F-250 Super Duty Platinum is the most expensive, with a price tag of $54,510. Under the hood, the F-250 Platinum sports a 6.2-liter V8 engine, or the option of a 6.7-liter PowerStroke diesel motor that can deliver punishing amounts of power. Of course, you get the luxuries of suped-up interior features and technology as well.

7. Ford F-350 Platinum

One small step up from the F-250 is its bigger brother, the F-350 Super Duty Platinum. The pricing isn’t much different either, as the F-350 costs about $900 more than the F-250 Platinum. You’ll get the same engine and powertrain options as well, but you can step things up with dual wheels and a bigger chassis. If you like the F-250 Platinum but want just a little more oomph, the F-350 Platinum is likely a solid choice.

6. Ram 2500 Power Wagon Laramie

Starting at a price of $55,770. Ram’s 2500 Power Wagon is pretty much the pinnacle of the Ram lineup. Add on the Laramie trim level, and you have yourself a very formidable pickup. The 2500 Power Wagon is equipped with a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 Engine coupled with a 66RFE six-speed automatic transmission, delivering over 350 horsepower and over 400 pound-feet of torque. It may be pricey, but the Power Wagon delivers the goods, and easily lives up to its name.

5. Ford F-150 Platinum 4×4 SuperCrew

People can’t wait to get their hands on the new Ford F-150, but if you plan on dishing out for the Platinum 4×4 Supercrew variant, you’ll pay a considerable price. This new F-150 model will reportedly cost $61,000, but of course this is for the absolute range-topper of the F-150 series. But for that price, you’ll get the all-new aluminum body you’ve been hearing so much about, along with a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine, making 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque.

4. GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali DURAMAX

If there’s one truck builder who’s really putting their money where their mouth is, it’s GMC. Of course, GMC is under the GM umbrella, and shares its sister trucks with Chevrolet, but the Sierra 2500HD Denali is a truck that beats out anything from its Chevy counterparts. This Sierra model, outfitted with a DURAMAX diesel engine, makes 397 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque, will set you back $63,665. Naturally, there are more extras you can add on as well.

3. GMC Sierra 3500 Denali DURAMAX

One step above the GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali DURAMAX is its slightly-bigger brother, the 3500HD Denali DURAMAX. The price difference between these two trucks is not much — a few hundred bucks, to be exact, as the 3500HD tallies up at $63,905. The main differences are in options and size, with available dual-wheels and a buffer stature being available on the 3500HD. In fact, this is the most powerful Sierra truck ever to hit the market, so make sure you take a look the next time you’re on the hunt for a new pickup.

2. Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD High Country

Beating out its corporate cousins in terms of price, the range-topping Chevy Silverado 3500HD High Country edition will set consumers back $64,475. Again, the Silverado 3500HD is available in a ton of trims with numerous options, but the High Country variant is the most expensive. You can buy it equipped with a 6.6-liter DURAMAX turbo-diesel V8 engine, or a Vortec 6.0-liter V8 engine, with available dual rear-wheels. When full-equipped, this Silverado almost becomes the most expensive truck on the market.

1. Ford F-450 Platinum

Finally, at the top-end of the pricing spectrum, we find the most punishing pickup on the road, the Ford F-450 Super Duty Platinum. This truck costs $68,790, and is the range-topper in terms of trims and models in the Super Duty lineup. You’ll get all the extras you did with the F-250 and F-350 Platinum packages, with a monster exterior and incredible towing capacities. Of course, that 6.7-liter PowerStroke V8 engine will supply horsepower and torque in hearty amounts, ensuring that your investment of nearly $70k was well worth it. If you want to drop some serious coin on a truck, the F-450 Platinum is the most expensive one out there.

Interested in a new pickup? You'll be happy you started your search here; we've included a few of today's top truck deals and incentives on new models. With everything from small trucks to heavy-duty models, our list features some of this month's best manufacturer special offers.
Chevrolet Silverado

The newly redesigned Chevrolet Silverado is reasserting its position as one of America's most refined and enjoyable pickups. In October, Chevrolet is offering a few incentives on the 2014 Silverado to make it even more attractive. For qualified drivers looking to finance, Chevrolet is offering 3.9 percent interest for up to 60 months on crew cab and extended cab models, or 0.9 percent for 72 months on regular cabs. For drivers looking to pay with cash, Chevrolet is offering up to $3,500 back on certain 2014 Silverado trims.

The Ford F-150 is a full-size pickup truck that continuously earns the title of America's best-selling truck. With an all-new 2015 model on the way, Ford is offering several incentives on the outgoing truck in order to clear out inventory. For qualified shoppers looking to finance, Ford is offering 0.9 percent interest for 36 months, 1.9 percent for 48 months, or 2.9 percent for 60 months -- a deal that also includes up to $3,000 cash back.

GMC Sierra

The GMC Sierra is a newly redesigned pickup that offers a slightly different take on the popular Chevrolet Silverado. This month, like the Silverado, the Sierra is touting several enticing deals designed to appeal to truck shoppers. The best incentives are available to shoppers looking to pay in full; GMC is offering up to $5,000 cash back on certain Sierra models. For qualified drivers who would rather finance, GMC's best deal is 0 percent interest for up to 60 months and $1,500 cash back -- a better offer than any deal available right now from Chevrolet.
