The Over $50K Club: The Most Expensive Pickup Trucks You Can Buy

These days, it’s alarming the ease with which one can option a light-duty pickup truck to nearly $50,000. It isn’t for lack of discipline, either; once you get through adding four-wheel drive, power options, and a family-friendly number of doors, the price tag of most any full-size truck invariably starts with a “4” and rises from there.

But that’s only the beginning—with a little effort, you can have a luxury-lined behemoth for $60K, $70K, or even $80 grand. We’ve gathered just such a crew here, with the only prerequisites being that the truck is on sale at the time of publication (February 2016) and carries a base price of at least $50,000 for the given trim level with the minimum number of driven wheels. (If four-wheel drive is an option, the qualifying price reflects the two-wheel-drive iteration of a given rig.) If a trim level starts at less than $50,000 in its minimum form, say, with a regular cab, it doesn’t qualify. Simple. (For instance, the top trim levels of the Toyota Tundra, the Platinum and the 1794 Edition, start at $47,725 in CrewMax, two-wheel-drive form, hence that automaker’s absence from this list.)
