If I were shopping for a new pickup, I'd go Ford. The government takeover of Chryler & GM turned me away from those two.
That said...Ford offerings? Pick up an April issue of HOT ROD. Read their dissection of the soon to be released 5.0 Mustang engine. Pretty tricky stuff, producing 84 (IIRC) horsepower per liter. Not bad for a normally apirated powerplant.
