What’s Your Favorite Truck? Everyone has a favorite vehicle. Be it your first truck, dream vehicle, or project car, you wouldn’t be in this industry if you didn’t have a love for four-wheeled power.
Personally, I dream of one day owning a 1935 Model 50 or Model 51 Ford Pickup. I dream of a 1-½ ton flathead V-8 engine powering it down the road, a pickup truck body, and its sweeping fenders polished to a high gloss. There is something about this classic that gets my heart rate up.

But, with the number of new truck launches recently (the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra recently revealed, the 2014 Toyota Tundra being unveiled tomorrow, Feb. 7, and more coming down the pipeline) is there something coming up you just can’t wait for?
Now that I’ve shared my dream truck with, what is yours? Do you long for the simple days of the classic vehicle, or is there a newer powerhouse you just can’t live without?
