2010 Ram really truck of the year?

Ok so i just see the advert for the 2010 Ram and didnt have the volume up but see that it had won motor trends 2010 truck of the year. What on earth is that all about? I never thought a ram would win that. Thats pretty impressive if they have beat the 2010 F150.

The motor trend truck of the year is the ram heavy duty. The offering from ford that got beat was the svt raptor. The 09+ f150 won the 09 truck of the year. It pretty much explains it here...

Ermmmm well that dont make a lot of sense. Why there such a mix of vehicles. I thought they were tested against trucks of same weight type?

It depends on who bought the most ad space for the year.

have you ever drove one. please dont comment on something unless you've drove one.

And from your responce you havent.

My dad's got a 05 powerwagon and a 96 Ex cab dually 5.9L Cummins that will rip the frame from under your Fx4 and its got over 400k miles, id like to see your f150 last that long

I love the brand bashing on this site, when most of yall have never crossed over the other side. Im not paticular to any brand, if it gets the job done and i like it then its a good truck for me.

please get over yourself and the imature behavior.

If you want to bash something bash Toyota we all know what kinda POS they are.

I think they have it so the only competitors are brand new models that are redesigned for that year.

Well with $8 billion of US gov and $2 billion of Canadian gov bailout money they ought to be able to build the ultimate truck. Fiat should be proud.

Brand bashing, what a joke, F$#@ both GM and Chrysler. They should be out of business, plain and simple. At least the Tundras are assembled in the US and not Mexico.
