REVIEW: 2016 Nissan Titan XD’s 5.0L Cummins puts this truck in a class of its own
During Nissan’s recent presentation of its 2016 Titan XD, an engineer revealed a chart that was pretty telling: truck sales for the automaker are low—very low compared to industry stalwarts like Chevy, Ford and Ram.

First Drive: 2016 Ram 3500’s big Cummins power, improved cab impress in test track run

REVIEW: 2015 Chevrolet Colorado Z71’s power, fuel economy, comfort outweigh lack of burst (PHOTOS)
Not everyone who works in the earthmoving world of construction needs a one-ton dually, or even a ½-ton pickup.

REVIEW: 2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Tradesman achieves work truck nirvana with comfort, unbelievable fuel economy
Call it plain vanilla. Call it a stripper. Call it bare-bones. It’s all of those. One thing the 2015 Ram 1500 Regular Cab EcoDiesel isn’t, though, is wimpy.

[imagebrowser id=147] It’s one of the fastest half-ton pickups on the road in 2015 with one of, if not the biggest cabs.
