The Ford F-150 is the longtime best-seller among full-size pickups, but it's inferior to the Tundra in performance; its interior is not as refined either, though a revised version of the F-150 is on the way for 2009.
The new Silverado and its nearly identical sibling, the GMC Sierra, have made waves for their very attractive, functional interiors and new standards of ride and handling, and they have an especially efficient line of V-8 engines.
The Dodge Ram feels outdated and unrefined next to the Tundra, and its interior in particular is trimmed in subpar materials.
But a completely redesigned version of the Ram is due for 2009.
While these manufacturers all take aim at companies and fleets in part, the Titan soldiers on as a truck aimed at personal use, with some still-innovative cargo solutions and good performance.
