PUTC ½ Ton Challege

2013 PickupTrucks.com Light-Duty Challenge

Quote :

It had to be done. The half-ton pickup truck segment is going through too much growth to make you wait, even for a second. With so many pickups overhauled, we knew we had to bring all the half-ton players back together again to find out exactly where everyone stands. And since nobody tests as thoroughly or exhaustively as we do, it had to be us. And it had to be now.

The 2013 Light-Duty Challenge competitors are:

               2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

               2014 GMC Sierra 1500

               2013 Ford F-150

               2013 Ram 1500

So the only two not built in the US are GM products.
Should have kept Sherevport open and close Silao during the BK IMO.

good thing Ram didn't send the 3.92 8-speed truck, it would have walked away from everyone even more.  plus the ratings are higher for tow and haul.

Kinda odd to test 2014's with 2013's. 

I thought GM would have done better with all the changes. They better put more $'s on the hood to make up for it.
