New Surprising Reviews For Half-Ton Trucks- Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota
 Consumer Reports has released their reviews on the Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram, and Toyota Tundra, and the results are surprising. "The Tundra, formerly a smaller, refined truck with carlike ride and handling, now goes head-to-head with GM and Ford in power, towing, payload capacity, and size. But it lost some refinement and livability in the redesign. Its superior drivetrain also yields class-leading acceleration. Thoughtful accommodations also help the Tundra top this group."

Overpriced, Overpowered and Proud of It
 According to Ezra Dyer of the New York Times reviewe the 2007 Dodge Ram STR10, "This truck could be more politically incorrect only if it ran on whale oil and panda tears. The SRT10 is not a truck of half-measures — it’s gleefully over-the-top in just about every way. Its 510-horsepower engine, borrowed from the Dodge Viper, is a callous brute, rocking the truck on its suspension even at idle. At full throttle, the four-speed automatic shifts so hard that you expect to see it in the rearview mirror, scattered about the pavement."

On your last trip camping with the family, did you have enough room in your truck or SUV for everything? If you're going camping, biking or even out for a round of golf with the guys, is there enough room for everyone plus their gear without using the roof of your SUV or bed of your truck? We found the StowAway®2 Carrier line of products to be the perfect solution for this problem (unless you are towing a boat or trailer).
If you're not into the 
If your one of Truckblog.com's thousands of dedicated daily readers, you know how we are avid fans of the best off-road lift manufacturer on the market, Donahoe Racing. The reason DR is so good at what they do is because they are a off-road race shop first, and building race suspensions gives you a ton of insight into manufacturing off-road suspensions.
If you own a SuperDuty and you plan to turn it into an off-road beast, one of the better online places to buy off-road gear and swag for your rig is Gilbert, Arizona's very own Super Duty Headquarters. These guys specialize in anything off-road for the Ford Super Duty and they even have a shelf or two of parts for the F-150 & Ranger folks out there.
How many of us out there collect shirts and other items of clothing that easily let people know how much we actually like cars, trucks or really anything that can make massive amounts of noise, belch carbon dioxide and propel us in a forward motion? I know I collect shirts from all the different car & truck shows and places I attend around the country.
A truly customized truck means that the owner has modified EVERYTHING about the truck while staying within the theme or look they originally envisioned and hopefully without over-extending his or her bank account for too long. If this sounds like you, Truckblog has found a must have modification for you that enables you to customize your vehicle's manufacturer badges, without breaking the bank.
