The Car Connection's Take |
|||
TCC Rating |
|||
|
|
|
||
TCC’s Bottom Line |
|||
| It counts a savvy Hybrid model in its ranks, but mostly, the 2012 Chevy Silverado appeals to the prosaic truck buyer that doesn't need as much in the way of infotainment. | Efficient and burly, the 2012 Ford F-150 shares the lead in full-size trucks thanks to extreme capability and extreme high-tech features. | ||
