Wow its been a long time since I've been on this site and I hear HemiV8 is still blaming me for his ignorance. Can't believe that guy is still here. He says he will have a new Power Wagon and a new hellcat. The only way this loser will ever have either one is it be paper or diecast. God how dumb he is!!

Just heard it again on the news, Ram rearends locking up, several people complaining and hitting things when they lock up. Feds are hard at work on this one. I guess they all have a recall everynow and then!
Nominees for 2013 North American Truck/Utility of the Year Announced
Last year, a panel of American and Canadian journalists selected the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque the 2012 North American Truck of the Year. Of course, we (and many others) had a few things to say to that, and the panelists responded by changing the name of of the award. Actually, it wasn't...

2013 Toyota Tacoma: Very Minor Upgrades
2012 pictured There are no significant changes to the new Toyota Tacoma for 2013, with the single exception of a new Limited grade package, just like the one offered on the Tundra. Small changes include the fact that all engine and body configurations will carry daytime running lights, all body...
These dodge guys make me sick. Really used to pull for them but not anymore. Hemi or whoever you are you need to shut up. real ram guys don't need you. You are an embarassment to them. I think you are the same one that post all this crap under different names. Grow up and get a life. We don't need you here.

Ford Releases Two More 2013 F-150s, and We Give a Little Advice
If you've ever seen lava flow, you know it usually starts out pretty fast but then slows to a painfully creep the farther down the hill it gets. And no matter how many times you see lava flow, you can't take your eyes off its methodical, painfully slow march, usually toward the ocean. That's t...

CNG Test Drive: Ford F-250 SD Bi-Fuel
GM and Ram drew quite a bit of attention at the 2012 NTEA show by announcing bi-fuel compressed-natural-gas heavy-duty trucks sold through their fleet and commercial networks. For comparison’s sake, we note that the Chevy Silverado 2500 HD can be ordered through any dealer, but it does need to...
GUTS GLORY, THIRD PLACE.
For New Ram, It's All About the MPGs
The Ram Truck team sees a big split between half-ton and heavy-duty buyers. For the lighter-duty pickups, they say it's all about fuel economy and being a daily driver, whereas the three-quarter- and one-ton trucks are all about heavy lifting and hard work. As a result, their buyers have very ...
@moparmechanic, Glad you are one because they need plenty of them. Guts Glory 3rd place again. you will NOT take out chevy because that is just common sense. FORD is way,WAY out of touch for you so just sit back and shine FORDS shoes as you have always done. Keep on dreaming because thats all it is, a dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An Open Letter: Four Facts and Frustration
By Larry Edsall Allow me to begin by pointing out four things: 1. Last fall there was not one but two Volkswagen Amarok pickup trucks at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show. 2. A couple of weeks ago, I was driving on a highway north of Detroit and was passed by a fast-movi...

@Truckerman Whats this we crap?? Fords have always been built tough, just look at all the job sites and road construction crews, 9 times outta 10 the Ford is there as they have been in driveways and farms everywhere. Must be something that keeps them on top of everyone else. Built FORD tough is just one them, I know mine is 15 yrs old and still does anything I ask it too. No rust, interior looks new and she runs strong. I get compliments on it everyday and I plan to keep it for a long time yet. Everyone has they're favorites but mine is BUILT FORD TOUGH!!!!!!

@HemiV8 Oh yes I have owned a dodge! I will never own anotherone because it was a piece of junk. Glad I managed to unload that thing on someone else, there will never be another one here. As far as kissing your ass, you must remove your head first!!!
Consumer Reports Offers HD Advice
For the first time that we can remember, Consumer Reports is making suggestions to potential heavy-duty truck buyers. As you might expect, they seem a little confused about what these vehicles are about but there is some good information and advice to be had in their newest web video. On the ...
@HemiV8 Maybe you need to take off your dodge or whatever it is colored glasses and realize how much crap you talk. This is pickuptrucks.com. I can walk into a FORD dealership and buy a RAPTOR if I want to. You cannot walk into a dodge or what ever it is dealership and buy a ramrunner or what ever that bolt on thing is. FORD is #1. Dodge or whatever is #3. They can't even come close to a Chevy truck so that is really bad knowing you are in 3rd place and probably always will be. Talk your crap all you want because thats all it is. Its so wonderful being #1 and listening to people like you talk crap and make excuses for being #3. They give you a kit. FORD gives us the REAL DEAL. Suck it up boy and realize you are the 3rd loser. What a shame, but then again!

All these dodge lovers such as HemiV8 and this mechanic dude among others are more than enough to turn anyone against dodge or ram, whichever it is. I used to halfway pull for dodge but these guys have turned me against that brand. I understand loving your truck as I love mine but these guys are eat up with the dumba@#s. Get a life and realize you will always be 3rd best, it's that simple.

@ Greg If your neighbor had a cheby hd then everything would have been ok. He probably would never have asked you what could tow it better now would he? People like you just make me sick. Just STUPID comments like this make me hate gm even more. Do you get the picture or are you blind???? No wait a minute, just stupid all over again!!
Is Your One-Ton Big Enough?
Story and photos by H. Kent Sundling You might think a one-ton dually is a big truck and that anything with dual rear wheels could handle most towing jobs. But a dual-wheel single-rear-axle hauler truck like a Peterbilt, Freightliner or International can be a viable option if you tow 20,000-...
Ford ISN'T EVEN ON THE RADAR! Wow what a comment. Where have you been for the last 100 yrs or so, being STUPID under a rock?? Some people!!
NHTSA's Crash-Test Ratings for 3/4-Ton Pickups
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which conducts crash and rollover testing throughout the year, doesn't crash-test every model every year (though it tries), but the government agency does run every new or significantly revised model through a full battery of tests. We not...
Ford is #1. Always will be. Ram has a long way to go to even think about getting close and chevy is in the way by a long shot so wishful thinking on ram boys part. chevy is the first loser and ram is the 2nd loser, thats way down the line to me and that means they need a whole lot better truck than ram has now to even be in the same league as Ford. Ford wins and chevy and ram lose again!!
May 2012 Top 15 Pickup Truck Sales
Not much here other than great news for all the truck makers. Everyone is up, with the exception of those who no longer exist. We knew the Honda Ridgeline would have big numbers when compared to last year and the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan, but the Toyota Tundra sales were even big...
I heard this kit came from JC Whitney??
Duel in the Desert Shootout Is Live!
Photo by MadMedia What happens when two different manufacturers take two separate and unique paths to achieve the same goal? The short answer is you get a PickupTrucks.com Shootout; however, the long answer is you get the SVT Raptor and Mopar's Ram Runner on the same test course in the middle o...
If this ram had been a factory truck I would have been excited about it but unlike the Raptor, this is all bolt on pcs in a kit so it is not in the same league as the factory Raptor. The Ram had an unfair advantage going in so really nothing to celebrate here at all. Maybe one day ram will grow some balls and build a factory truck without the public having to buy a stupid kit. But then again at least they offer a kit, chevy has no clue!

Yeah good try by Dodge or should I say ram. They need to do this as a factory truck and not as an add on. Raptor rules as it comes from the factory this way. That should tell you something. Where's government motors??
PickupTrucks.com Preview: Duel in the Desert, Part 1
For its next Shootout, PickupTrucks.com gathered two decorated off-road racers – the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor and the Ram Runner by Mopar — to compete head to head over a five-mile course in the Southern California desert. The folks at MadMedia helped cover the event and captured some amazing foo...

No Chevy/GMC Ads For 2013 Super Bowl
Don't expect any amazing Super Bowl promoting the new Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra during the next Super Bowl on February 3, 2013 like we saw in the last big game. In fact, don't expect to see any commercials from General Motors, reports the Detroit Free Press. GM has been making some seriou...
@mechanic, boy do you ever need to get a life or a Doctors appointment because what you just did was just plain STUPID. Glad you are with the ram guys cause you make them look STUPID TOO. Wow some people just amaze me with their IGNORANCE. @miath, you have no clue either do you? Must be on the same stuff greg and tom are smoking, only you are getting the real good stuff. You are brainless.

@Ram guy,Ram,Ram dude or who ever you are, you better talk about taking over chebby before you even think about taking over FORD because you are light yrs away from taking over FORD. Consider yourselves lucky to even be able to read something on here about F150 because ram will always shine the shoes of a Ford truck. let it be written, let it be said.

Would You See a Pickup Truck Musical?
Ever wonder why there aren't any good musicals about pickup trucks? Neither have we, but someone has answered the call. Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Doug Wright has penned a play called "Hands on a Hardbody." It's about 10 contestants who are vying to win a new Nissan compact pickup...

It's Time for Fiat to Offer a Lifestyle Pickup?
The timing could be perfect for a small and efficient pickup truck, and some are looking to Chrysler to make it happen. We reported several months ago that the Fiat Strada would be an interesting choice if Chrysler wanted to fill the void left by the Dodge Dakota, especially since so much has ...
