I was wondering what's the best truck to buy brand new in 2020 or 2021 I heard Ram was making a better comeback but I was curious also what's your opinion on a Buick park avenue all I heard is great stuff about it and it seems to be super underrated
Go to the FAQ section of this forum, which should be at the top of the question list. There you can click on the used car section which should have a "Video compilation by Kerem" or something along those lines. There, you can find the best and worst Trucks to buy (along with cars of course) with videos from Scotty.
Here is the link of videos I compiled, which is on the official FAQ of carkiller.com: https://carkiller.com/scottykilmer/qa/vehicles-to-buy-and-not-to-buy-buyers-lists/
Best truck: Toyota Tundra
Worst truck: Ford F-150
Buick Park Avenues particularly the second Generation (1997-2005) with the 3800 V6 engine were fairly good, reliable cars for their time. They are older now so more things will need replacing from age.

btw the question is about new trucks, not old Buicks;)
OP also asked about Buick Park Avenue near the end of his post, basically 2 unrelated topics in the same question.
To answer the truck question, the best gasoline trucks for HD work in my opinion would be...
1.F-150 2. RAM 1500 3. Silverado 1500 4. Toyota Tundra 5. Nissan Titan
For driving around town, lasting forever, and looking cool...
1. Tundra 2. F150 3. Nissan 4. RAM 5. Titan
Heavy duty trucks are a whole 'nother game...
https://youtu.be/4JV7L8bBo1Q One of MANY reasons I would avoid Ford HD trucks. And their lightweight trucks are no better. Sued them over a brand new 2018 XLT 5.0L that I bought that was a total pile of junk. Took a year before I finally won my case. Would never do business with them again.
To make matters worse, the new generation (2021+) F150s with the 5.0 V8 now all receive cylinder deactivation! GM, FCA, and others already have issues with their cylinder deactivation systems, so I am not expecting any better from Ford’s.
I was referring to using half ton pickups at their limits... While I respect your opinion, and I know you have experienced the problems firsthand, the local unions have purchased fleets of 250's and 350's, and E series cabs without any problems at all... Not sure what's going on there.
