Default Consumer Reports about the top trucks

I read the September 2007 issue of Consumer Reports today. They have this about the pick-ups. Also, I ahve each seperate article for each truck. If you wan a specific truck test page, please let me know. I'll be more than glad to put it up. Dodge came in 2nd after the Tundra, of course. Hey, it can only get better... right? Oh, and check it out! The only trucks that are "Recommended" are the Ram and Tundra. Enjoy!!

Here's the compare/contrast pages (pg.1):

I don't believe the tests or the results of this test. Someone is or has been lying.

Where Ispot the proof?

Predicted Reliability, Tundra got "Very Good", yet all of the other new for 07 trucks got no rating because they are new this year and have no records. How can they give the Tundra a rating, if anything it should have gotten poor because of the engine failures?

I saw the video reviews for the trucks. I guess Silverado is the way now.

This is weird. Consumer Reports typically HATES domestic vehicles. I thought in a shootout they did recently, they liked the new tundra, the titan and redesigned silverado and the ram came up short with the F150. Seem to remember they said it was showing its age.

Considering the truck is like 5 years into its design, its amazing it would beat the other trucks that have just been redesigned. I'm not disagreeing because I just bought a RAM, I just think its weird.

Why did they pick the ram and the tundra as best buys?
