The F150's look absurd with their butts in the air. The SuperDuties look better and the Rams look good (for now). I question the line about the Dodges having more powerful engines. If you are talking gas, the Fords currently offer 300 h.p. 5.4 V-8's and 362 h.p. 6.8 V-10's (457 ft.lbs. of torque). The V-10 has it over the hemi there. I do not know about their new diesel but it comes with a five speed auto or 6 speed manual. I agree about the Chevies being ugly and overpriced but their rebates are now bigger than those on the Ford or Dodges and their big 8.1 has less h.p. than Dodge's hemi or Ford's V-10.
