There’s no shortage of choice when it comes to half-ton pickups.

If you know anything about trucks, you likely know practically everything about the Chevrolet Silverado and Ford F-150 because they’re two of the best-selling vehicles in North America, hell, the world.

Pickup trucks are big in more ways than one.

With their powerful engines, advanced four-wheel-drive systems, ample ground clearance and abundant technology, today’s full-size trucks are ready for just about anything, from heavy-duty towing to weekday commuting to tackling the worst conditions Old Man Winter can conjure up.

Like a keg of black powder stored next to an open hearth, America’s truck segment is about to explode.

The Toyota Tacoma is as traditional a truck as you can get.

Heavy-duty trucks are the subject of today’s poll, with offerings from both Ram and Ford facing off. Which of these hard-working rigs is the better option? Let’s explore…

Automakers love to play the numbers game, especially when it comes to big trucks. A recent spat between Ram and Ford saw both companies claiming the “best-in-class” towing title for their respective heavy duty pickups like kids in a sandbox arguing over who has the better castle.

The half-ton truck industry is booming, reporting sales numbers akin to those seen before the gloom of the 2008 recession set in. That also means that many businesses and handy men who purchased a new truck pre-2008 are about ready to trade in for a new workhorse, and automakers are happy to oblige.
