2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty Reviews Summary“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.” Winston Churchill was likely not referring to the heavy-duty pickup truck market when he uttered this quote, but it resonates nonetheless. It seems like every year the Big Three American truck-makers are trying to one-up one another, whether it's towing and hauling, passenger space, or technology. It's unclear how many truck owners shop on superlatives alone. It’s also unclear how many shoppers need “the most” of one particular attribute. Sure, some will need the towing capability for certain jobs. But far more will buy these trucks and want a balance of attributes that is as well-rounded as their needs. While 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty trucks give up a bit of ride quality to achieve some best-in-class numbers, they are well-balanced trucks. Read on to find out why. | |
2020 RAM 2500 Reviews SummaryHeavy-duty pickup trucks are all about headroom. It's packing a half-ton of timber in the bed without feeling a thing in the cab, or pulling 3,500 kilos and knowing there's more than double that in reserve. While it's acceptable to max out a light-duty truck on occasion, doing so puts excessive stress on the powertrain, brakes, and tires. Full-size trucks like the 2020 Ram 2500 are flashier and monstrous in size, but their posture is serious. If your life requires a truck like this, then I’d recommend you indulge in the Ram’s top-grade luxury, technology, and capability. | |
