Click play to find out. (Photo by Tim Esterdahl) Throughout the year, Jill and I get a chance to drive hundreds of pickup trucks and SUVs. Recently, we did a Livestream where we discussed our favorites from 2020. If you missed the YouTube Livestream, find it here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drnXRcqALW8]() Don’t worry it is an hour-long Livestream, we have added chapters for your convenience. Or, if podcasts are more your thing, then you are in luck! We have re-launched the podcast and this is our first episode. Whichever way you go with either watching or listening, enjoy us banter about different 2020 pickup trucks and SUVs we have liked. Plus, there are lots of fun tidbits like: the wedding vow preventing Jill from buying a [Honda Ridgeline](), is Tim too wide (aka fat) for the Mazda CX-30, which truck do we actually agree on. It is a good time and well worth your time spent listening. **Related posts:** > [Big criticisms addressed with new 2021 Honda Ridgeline updates]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/12/2020-best-worst-pickup-trucks-and-suvs/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/12/2020-best-worst-pickup-trucks-and-suvs/" }, "author": { "name": "Tim Esterdahl", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/82b06f99329f69a069a5ab6caed18593" }, "headline": "2020 best/worst pickup trucks and SUVs", "datePublished": "2020-12-20T23:15:28+00:00", "dateModified": "2025-07-23T15:17:16+00:00", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/12/2020-best-worst-pickup-trucks-and-suvs/" }, "wordCount": 198, "commentCount": 0, "publisher": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#organization" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/12/2020-best-worst-pickup-trucks-and-suvs/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/131045603_3828229360520904_2135150526404496909_n.jpg", "keywords": [ "best 2020 suvs", "best 2020 trucks", "worst 2020 suvs", "worst 2020 trucks" ], "articleSection": [ "News" ], "inLanguage": "en-US", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "CommentAction", "name": "Comment", "target": [ "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/12/2020-best-worst-pickup-trucks-and-suvs/#respond" ] } ] }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/12/2020-best-worst-pickup-trucks-and-suvs/", "url": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/12/2020-best-worst-pickup-trucks-and-suvs/", "name": "2020 best/worst pickup trucks and SUVs", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#website" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/12/2020-best-worst-pickup-trucks-and-suvs/#primaryimage" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2020/12/2020-best-worst-pickup-trucks-and-suvs/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/131045603_3828229360520904_2135150526404496909_n.jpg", "datePublished": "2020-12-20T23:15:28+00:00", "dateModified": "2025-07-23T15:17:16+00:00", "description": "Tim and Jill take a look at their top picks for 2020 pickup trucks and SUVs in last week's livestream and podcast.
