PM Snubs 09 F-150
09 F-150 did not make their top 10; 09 Ram #4, Go figure

I guess they figure the 09 is missing an engine...

I didn't think that Dodge could make the Ram front end any worse-looking. However, they proved me wrong with the 09 design. It's terrible. It looks even worse than the Tundra front end - and the Tundra is hideous in my opinion. Dodge has had the same basic front end design since the early 90's. It's just time for something new.

*Oh, and I'm not too worried that Ford didn't get the nod from Popular Mechanics....last time I checked PM wasn't the most reliable source for determining which new car or truck to buy LOL

they are right.
design is subjective.
But they should also look at the complete truck. The Dodge and Nissan are all about the engine. That's it. The new Ram is miles ahead of its' predessessor. But the previous Ram was like 5 years behind the Chev and Ford in interior design.
Also, parlour tricks like bed storage shouldn't make or break a model.

In defense of the Ram..
It's got all the new goodies that Ford has. It's got Sirius TV in the back. It's got tons of storage. It's got better motors. And it looks pretty good I think. The dual exhaust is cool and new.
The only thing that Dodge screwed up on since 02 is the lack of an "Extended" cab. A lot of people, including myself currently, have no need for 4 full doors.
One down-fall dodge has always had is rear-ends failing. This new one supposedly has a new rear-end. Hopefully they fixed the bugs.

They havn't changed that ugly front end of there Dodge trucks in almost 15 years now, still as ugly us the day it came out
