Why should I also consider these? X

When it comes to light-duty trucks, the 2008 Ford F-150 and the Chevy Silverado are the two big dogs.

They go at it every day.

The Ford has kept selling well even since the Chevy Silverado's complete revamp for the 2007 model year.

The Chevy does have some advantages, including a better ride (fewer jiggles) and more polished powertrains.

While the Ford outsells the Chevy, if one combines the sales of the Chevy with its GMC twin the Sierra, GM sells more light-duty trucks cumulatively--at least this year.

Things may change when the 2009 Ford F-150 arrives. The Dodge Ram 1500 is in the same situation as the Ford F-150; both are due for a remake in 2009.

The Dodge needs it, as its truck has been around in current form even longer than the Ford.

Styling and available HEMI power are the Ram's two biggest selling points. While the Toyota Tundra is capable, it hasn't proven nearly as popular as the Ford F-150.

And even though we consider the Nissan Titan to be the sportiest-handling full-size truck out there, compared to all F-150 production, a year's worth of Titans barely equates to a month of Fords.

Ford's got to be doing something right with this truck.
