2008 Ford Super Duty Four Wheeler Magazine's 2008 Pickup Truck of the Year
Well, I got my Four Wheeler Magazine in the mail today, and the 2008 Super Duty is the 2008 Pickup Truck of the Year. Their rankings:
1. 2008 Ford Super Duty Supercab FX4 ($51,925)
2. 2008 Hummer H2 SUT ($59,345)
3. 2008 Toyota Tundra Crew Max Limited ($47,895)
4. 2008 Dodge Dakota Crew Cab ($34,360)
5. 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie Quad Cab ($51,795)
Best of all, out of the seven staffers who tested the trucks, four of them picked the Super Duty as their favorite truck. Of the other three testers, one chose the Tundra, one chose the Ram, and one chose the Dakota.
If I had a scanner, I would scan the article, but alas my scanner is not Vista compatible.

Doesn't anybody care?
I thought that this was pretty exciting. Everybody makes such a huge deal about Motor Trend's TOTY, and they don't even know trucks. Hell, they picked the Honda Ridgeline as TOTY in 2006 and it's not even a truck! It's just so nice to read an article where a Ford truck is spoken of so highly. It's a great read.
