not really surprised at all, I did alot of research and side-by-side comparisons before I bought mine, Ford was clearly the better truck to me.

At least they posted realistic MPG data:

Ecoboost 2WD = 16.5mpg

5.0L 4x4 = 16.6mpg

Blah blah blah...haters gonna hate. Of course most full size trucks are very similar but no one can doubt Ford has improved their existing F-150 line-up. The new engines are great and its a very solid truck. My 2011 F-150 FX4 is the best truck I ever owned! Excellent interior, drive feel, and power I need as well as decent MPG for full size ride!

What I like about Dodge the most is Dodge willing to make segment first additions to their RAM line up. I almost got a RAM because I liked the storage on the truck as well as the look.

Those are the best pics I've seen yet for the new FX Appearance Package. Interesting because an FX was not what they tested for this award. And I still don't see how that package is going to look good with anything other than a red, black or maybe gray truck.
