The term "pickup" was first attributed to Henry Ford, after he fiddled around with his personal Ford Model T, which was only offered in black for a bit. Since then, the term has remained synonymous with vehicles that are the backbone of America. Somewhere between those early beginnings in the 1920s, to today's Cummins-powered pickup truck behemoths, we've come a long way. Some pickup trucks are among the fastest vehicles in the world, others can tow a lot, still others have really high horsepower and torque figures for the working man or woman. The class is so popular that even Rolls-Royce was rumored to be making a pickup truck at one point. Some pickup trucks look really good, and others sound really good - all while hauling two tons of gravel or produce.

Where the delicate European models sound amazing for thirty seconds before something expensive breaks, our trucks rumble onward while towing and hauling the equivalent of them European supercars from before - some times more. So then, with all that said here are 13 of the best-sounding trucks of all time. We should mention though, that all the trucks that are on this list have been included here because of their stock exhaust acoustics. Yes, a system from Corsa, Borla, or Flowmaster will make these trucks sound even better - but they sound good even without aftermarket parts.
