Motor Trends Truck of the year.

I see the Ford F150 got Motor Trends truck of the year, not to mention it was the number 1 selling vehicle this year and the number 1 selling truck for the past 20 some years. My hats off to Ford.

not going against what your saying but if one were to take away the number of trucks sold to government agencies due to contracts, would they still be the top seller?? the government doesnt care about how well the truck lasts, believe you me. they buy them because they get the best deal.

Or if GM combined the sales of the GMC trucks and the Chevy trucks, their number would be greater, I'm sure.
