CARS.COM — One of the most popular trim levels for any pickup truck nowadays is its four-wheel-drive off-road package. Every manufacturer has one (sometimes two) and they typically reflect how well the manufacturer’s engineering teams understand how pickups are used and abused by buyers who want the extra traction.

In that vein, we asked pickup manufacturers to send us their best full-size off-road factory package — our only criterion for our 2017 Monster Factory Off-Road Challenge — to find out which one has the most capable and most versatile off-road performance.

That left out the mid-size players, making this a contest of six full-size pickups. Click here to see which pickups competed and which one PickupTrucks.com declared the winner.
