I have no issue with the way they select the pickups from which compete for TOTY. You cant test every truck available in the market every year, do you want to read about the Nissan Titan this year that was the same one you read about the last ten years, that was a POS at intro and still is, it finally just now is being put to death? It is not practical and no one cares. You have to draw the line somewhere and I think this is a good place to draw it. Lastly it is their award so they make the rules, pretty simple. I don't agree with their criteria most years, their emphasis puts working trucks at a disadvantage most of the time, but again it is their circus. Consumers pay attention to it, like it or not it is the biggest award in the business. It certainly is more hype than substance but the award sells vehicles, always has. Those of you who are not happy with the C&C winning two years in a row, deal with it. Now you know how I felt when Ram recently won two years in a row, those were dark times no doubt. Watch.....the new Dmax will take it for 2017.

I have no issues in how they do their tests but rather what they name their tests. It is really not a "Truck of the year" if not all trucks in that year are able to compete for that title. This is why I think they should name it "New or redesigned Truck of the Year". Myself and many others that I know think their "Truck of the year" title is about as useless as tits on a bull since not all vehicles that are available can compete. This really makes the title a rather useless on and nothing to brag about. The only people that I see that actually give two scngits about the award are those that have their favorite brand or vehicle win. Only those people will try to justify such an award where not all the vehicle's available to the public are tested. Basically, if you want a GM or midsize truck to win then of course you are going to for this kind of testing.
