I completely agree!

Lexus already makes a van. Well, if you're a wealthy soccer-waif who thinks you need a tank to cart around your precious spawn you'd buy one anyway.

No problem! I spend too much time looking at trucks so Truck Yeah! has become a blessing to me. Depending on the axle setup International changes the hood so it's hard to figure out. You're right about the specs, the PayStar will have heavy axles, larger engines, tougher suspensions and different frame options…

" not to mention that using the same (outdated) technology for three decades is not beneficial for the customers nor the environment

AM General, of course...

There is too much ambiguity in "best". Also, best what? Compact? heavy duty? half ton?

Sand is very abrasive and the tires kicking it up remove paint from the rockers which leads to rot. Salt does the same thing too. At least salt can dissolve and be washed away though. Sand tends to reduce the diameter of sewer pipes because it ends up sitting in them once it is washed off the road. For this reason it…

Instead of testing in deep snow they should test its ability to resist road salt, ash, sand and the other car rotting stuff the states apply to the roads each winter.

You mean to tell me these guys spent a good portion of the Winter driving hooning around in the snow in brand new trucks on Ford's dime while collecting a salary in the name of 'testing'?

I saw one in Epping, NH a few years back. It was sponsored and built by Clutchmasters. It ran mid 9-10 second 1/4 mile times all day long. The first time it rolled up to the burnout line, the announcer stated that this was the worst mpg prius that we'd ever see.

The way you feel about a road-only trucks (which I agree on) is also the way I feel about buckets in a pickup. Should be a bench with big arm rest that folds up and down

This is a dumb jeep owner. He has big tires and all the gear, but not locking diffs. You can see him kicking up snow on one side and the tires not spinning on another. Jeez.

Dear Ford,

What a bunch of ridiculous smoke and mirrors for people who don't understand the truck industry. 4% of the vehicles but 20% of the emissions? Duh, trucks are 20 times heavier than your typical car, of course they are going to account for more emissions, they're fucking huge.
