all above being true, trucks such as Destructo and Tensors are made with Magnesium metal which is stronger and 25% lighter.

the best trucks are tensor trucks or independent

Skateboard trucks turn differently based on the geometric angles of the kingpin and the pivot point, and have different heights, and effect the wheelbase of the skateboard, so accomplished skateboarders have specific preferences based on their experience. That said, it is difficult to answer what is the most "recommended" truck available.
Over the history of Skateboarding, Independent Trucks have certainly sold the most trucks, because they have been around the longest. They are generally assumed to be high quality trucks, and many long time skateboarders would recommend Independents. However, there are a number of other truck brands who have been around thru four decades and have proven that they are perfectly worthy, or in some skaters' minds, preferable and would therefore be recommended. These include:
Thunder, Venture, Krux, Silver, Ace, Royal, Destructo, Ruckus, Tensor, and Grind King. While the quality of materials of these trucks is for the most part similar, the difference lies in the turning angles, response, and possibly in the weight, although some skaters don't care one way or another about the slight differences in weight.
I feel quite comfortable saying that if you purchased Indys, Thunders, Ventures, Krux, Silver, Ace, or Royal Trucks that you'd be getting good-to-great trucks that you can learn on. After that, try out trucks to find out what you like.
One thing to keep in mind: if a truck company has a pro team, they are more likely to work to improve their product, they are supporting skateboarding, and they are probably in the business of skateboarding for more reasons that simply to make money. That's a recommendation worth adhering to.
KRUX "Downlows" Trucks are the best for the street. They have the lowest kingpin (the big bolt holding the truck together) in the industry. This means that when grinding it's imposible to hang up your trucks. AND they're built very tough...The only downside is that most shops try to cash in on this and charge a little more for them.
I agree krux are very good, but ventures are just about as good but a little heavier and they are a little cheaper
There are many different opinions on trucks but on my board i put independent trucks and they are awesome they are really light but are very strong too
the best trucks are speed demons because i have had some for5 years and nothing has happend to them and i skateboard all the time and they rock!
