- These tests don't mean much to me anymore, at least on the heavy diesels. They're all such great tow vehicles that it really just boils down to which flavor you prefer. I think if you're buying a half ton there are some stronger and weaker choices available so the comparison tests might be more useful in that class of pickup.

Looks like since it didn't have any major/minor improvements since the last testing then they didn't test it.
They didn't test it because it was a short bed truck and they were afraid to hook it to the trailer they were testing with. Sounds like they have incompetent (judges)drivers so I put zero faith in this comparison.- I no longer get interested in the shoot outs but I'll tune in when they get the Powerstroke tuned in to produce 1000 lbft of torque.
- But it won the last face off. So this test is for second place?

- They surely can't be thinking of putting up a 6 cylinder against 2 V8's can they? No wonder the Ram didn't show up to the party! :B
