Consumer Reports truck pick
Consumer Reports chose the Chevrolet Avalanche as the best pick-up truck. They said Ford had made progress but they are saddled with old pick-up trucks.
They also chose the Hyundai Elantra as the best small car.
Prius was the best value in the world.
There must be something in the air out west.

Lol Consumer Reports. They are a joke if i have ever seen one. Wouldnt listen to a thing they say to be honest. Be it a car, truck, cell phone or tv. If anyone is silly enough to listen to them then it's their fault. My bro in laws buisness partner just bought one and it aint a spot on the 09 f150 in anyway at all.

They probably like the soft ride of the coil springs, but truck buyers want capability.
CR, like C&D, just doesn't get it.

Consumer reports are so ridicoulous. They try to put society as a whole while looking at products for them to buy. Its like a jump on the band wagon approach to things. Its all BS to me. This is the stuff that gives people a false sense of advertising on the good products companies sell.

Most likely would have picked the Dodge then. All though, it may be to early for them/not a large enough sample size to give a full opinion on the Ford and RAM
