A 10-year-old pickup can’t compete with a new truck in terms of power and torque…or can it? With the addition of a new performance exhaust and a flash performance retune to increase the horsepower you can make your old truck run and sound better. In this episode of Project Pickup (part 3), we continue on [...]
In a questionable marketing move, Chrysler simply calls its new civilian/work pickup the “Ram 1500″—not the Dodge Ram. But the 2013 Ram 1500 remains a rival to high-selling Ford and Chevrolet full-size pickups. The award-winning 2013 Ram 1500 pickup has list prices ranging from $22,590 to $44,275 and promises to be a much stronger competitor [...]

The all new 2014 GMC Sierra is taking a different route, one that sticks to a similar recipe of the old model rather than changing into something unrecognizable. Unlike Ford and Ram, GMC is keeping a majority of the 2014 GMC Sierra simple. One place where the change is most notable is under the hood.
Well, they are finally here. GM just unveiled the full line of light duty 2014 Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks. The overall shape of this new truck is familiar.
