They are not "dissing" anything nor does it have anything to do with sales numbers. I've been an MT subscriber since my teens, for the better part of the last 35 years. Motor Trend TOY and COY competitions only include new or significantly changed models. If the GMs have had only minor changes that's why they weren't included. The next year's competition might not include the Ford.
You are not getting the gist of my quote out of the article.
What I "meant" by it was that this statement in the part I quoted,
"We had the luxury in this test of having the Super Duty's most direct competitor on hand"
has nothing to do with the trucks being contenders for the TOTY award, but that Motor Trend ONLY considers the Ram a contender for "test" purposes?
Not sure if you follow yet but if they would have said we could only get one of the 2 most direct contenders for our test, then they wouldn't be dissing GM.. :S
Doesn't really matter, I was just pointing out to the GM guys that Motor Trend didn't seem to thing their truck worthy of comparing as a direct competitor.
Wow, the more I try and explain what I meant, the more I'm confusing myself.
Anyway, the award went to Ford which was an all new truck this year weather they deserve it or not.
