The closest vote in Motor Trend Truck of the Year history." That was our summation in February when handing the Golden Calipers to the 2009 Ford F-150 instead of the superb new 2009 Dodge Ram. Both trucks presented compelling cases for victory, but the Ford's greater load capabilities and broader range of models edged it into the winner's circle.
Now, with a recently delivered F-150 Lariat in our long-term test fleet, we'll live with our decision and see how it holds up as the months and miles roll on.
What's clear after barely a month in our fleet is that this is one sophisticated truck. "Cary Grant in work overalls," is how I described our new arrival in an online blog after a 300-mile trek from Mammoth Mountain back to L.A. The flight deck is downright gorgeous, as if Audi had designed its first pickup. Handsome, soft-touch materials, clear gauges, and just the right amount of brushed-look accents create an ambiance that screams "luxury sedan."
