Why should I also consider these? X

General Motors introduced its new full-size trucks as 2007 models.

These trucks quickly became a favorite of truck drivers on TheCarConnection.com staff and still have advantages over all other trucks in terms of powertrains (they now offer a hybrid) and style.

However, Ford has edged to the front in some areas.

When we reviewed the 2009 Dodge Ram, we praised its on-road handling (a benefit of a link-coil rear suspension).

The F-150 comes close to matching the Dodge's on-road ride but delivers greater payload and towing capabilities plus more steering feel, something we felt the Dodge could have used more of.

While introduced with much fanfare in 2007, Toyota's Tundra lags well behind the domestics in terms of ride dynamics and features.

Unless you are staunchly brand loyal, there's not much reason to choose the Toyota over the Ford…or the Dodge or GM models.

Interior packaging is a strength of the new F-150; the cab floors of competitive trucks are not flat (GM and Dodge) like the Ford or can't be accessed at all (Toyota).

While power is up, Chevy, GMC and Dodge all offer more powerful engines…but in today's environment this may not be as important as it once was,
