Ram or F150 or that Chevy pick up, which is best?

Who needs these? These must be trucks for craftsmen, right? Or are there any private sales?

Substantial non-commercial sales to active folk who like the idea of being able to use the bed to lug stuff around. Anything from landscaping material, appliances, furniture and everything in between. Others just like the idea of having all that mass on the roads (safety, better view, lots of 18 wheelers on the highways here) as well as the benefits of 4 wheel drive. Contemporary pick ups also are much less harsh on the road than they used to be, more SUV like. And the 4 door versions are also very popular for SUV like utility.

Latest rankings from Car and Driver: Ford, Chevy then Ram with the F150 and Chevy being closely matched.

You guys don't have the likes of the Mitsubishi L200? Around here, people solve the lugging by getting a hanger for their ordinary car.

Lots of small pick up trucks available here but the large ones rule the roads.

SPIED: 2017 Ford F-150 Diesel; Have Your Hybrid and Burn Oil, Too

That’s clearly a diesel gurgle coming out of that F-150’s lightly camo’d buttock.

If our ears are to be believed, that would be the pending fulfillment of a prophecy made here two years ago: Ford is preparing a light-duty diesel to sell by 2018.

I have so many questions to ask: What about EcoBoost? Where does that oil burner come from?

The latter question may be our first answer. Ford developed a 3-liter diesel V-6 with Land Rover that is now used in a bevy of JLR and Citroen products — dubbed Lion — so the parts are in the corporate pantry, so to speak. (There’s even a 3.8-liter V-8 block used in Range Rovers.)

It’s likely that the diesel would be mated to Ford’s new 10-speed transmission for extra long legs.

Is this a play at the top-end truck market for the truck buyer who needs to have every option ticked? Or is Ford’s coming diesel the work truck that seems to be forgotten in today’s Hauling Class™ luxury truck market?

I thought EcoBoost was supposed to be the mileage king. Judging by the video, we’ll have our answer soon enough.
