With the help of competitions like the Light-Duty Pickup Truck Challenge, conducted by PickupTrucks.com, drivers can get some guidance as they seek out the top options for their needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>PickupTrucks.com pitted six of the top trucks against each other for its Light-Duty Pickup Truck Challenge. At the end of the competition, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Ford\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">Ford<\/a> F-150 narrowly beat the Ram 1500 for the No. 1 spot. The two models also outdistanced the four other entrants, which were the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=GMC\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">GMC<\/a> Sierra 1500, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Chevrolet\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">Chevrolet<\/a> Silverado 1500, Nissan Titan Pro 4-X and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Toyota\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">Toyota<\/a> Tundra.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each truck was judged based on how it performed in a number of categories, including hill climb ability,&nbsp;fuel economy, handling, and acceleration and braking. They were also evaluated on the quality of the interior and exterior, towing capabilities and the value for the price.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The F-150 is the best-selling half-ton truck in the U.S., and after conducting this testing, it&#039;s no surprise why,&quot; said Mark Williams, the editor of PickupTrucks.com. &quot;It was a tight contest, with Ford, Ram and GMC finishing close together, but the F-150&#039;s performance and capability gave it an edge. Shoppers looking &#8230; in this competitive truck market have several great options and should consider which one best meets their needs.&quot;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With the Ford F-150 claiming the title of the top selling truck as well as the winner of this challenge, many motorists may consider models from the lineup as a possibility for their next car.&nbsp;Drivers searching for a top truck selection can look at the assortment of vehicles at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\" target=\"_self\" class=\"dnautolink\">NJ State Auto Auction<\/a>. The auction lot is home to a number of CARFAX-certified cars, trucks and vans, meaning&nbsp;you can find a used vehicle capable of handling anything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to choosing between pickup trucks, it can be tough to single out the best of the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.1.1 -
