IT is a nice truck with tons of new stuff one it. Face it guys and be honest you/we all don't care for the dodge but they finally offer a decent truck. Go drive one. I did last night and it is a well refined truck. Heck it can adjust your tire pressure from inside the cab. Come on guys

they won because the competition was the Raptor and trans connect. Logically the Dodge won because against this field they had the best payload and towing...won by default.

go to pickuptrucks.com this spring and I think they will have the heavy duty catagory truck shootout.

Dodge (RAM), Ford and GM 3/4 or 1 tons against each other..then we will see.

That being said I do like the front end of the new dodge trucks.

Not exactly, but it is correc that the award means nothing.

A panel of about 50 U.S. and Canadian automotive journalists named the Ford Transit Connect the truck of the year.

. . . the Transit Connect beat out the Chevrolet Equinox and Subaru Outback for the truck title.
How long has Ford been selling the Transit in Europe? 3-4 years? No major redesign here.

And the competition included a Suby! FOr Truck of the year?

I guess they considered the Transit 'coz its new to the US. They been selling Transits in Europe since Adam was a boy though.
Good on Ford for winning car and truck of the year.
