We partnered up with our friends at www.pickuptrucks.com to help out and watch this classic half-ton confrontation. But does that mean its final judgment will be the same as ours? Not necessarily. We picked out a few specific tests a third-party company performed and pulled out a few of our own. There were other tests performed and more data collected than we have the space to publish here. To see the rest in thorough detail and for more information and data, go to www.pickuptrucks.com and find out exactly how each test was structured and laid out, and who their winner turns out to be.
