2008 PickupTrucks.com Half-Ton Shootout Coming Friday November 14

Coming this Friday, November 14, get ready for our most comprehensive comparison test yet. The 2008 PickupTrucks.com Half-Ton Shootout will determine which light-duty truck will earn the title of 'Best Overall Half-Ton Pickup.'

The field is a big one, including the new Dodge Ram 1500 and Ford F-150, GM’s updated Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra with new six-speed transmissions and the most powerful V-8s in the segment, Toyota’s recently revised Tundra and Nissan’s Titan.

All the trucks are four-wheel-drive crew cabs equipped with the largest V-8 engine available.

The tests are bigger too, including quarter-mile acceleration runs empty and towing a 6,500 pound trailer, a loaded 7.2 percent hill climb, a ride and handling autocross, a 60 to 0 mph brake test, our famous trailer squat test, an offroad obstacle course, wheel travel measurements, fuel economy, feature evaluations and more.

If you're about to buy a new half-ton pickup, you don't want to miss this story!
