Winner: Ford F-150 Lightning
Ford claims that lightning can strike twice, and after driving the new Ford F-150 Lightning pickup, we agree. The three year wait for Ford's return to the sport pickup segment was well worth it, as the Lightning goes beyond a big engine and racing stripes. With a 5.4-liter SVT supercharged Triton V8, the Lightning produces a neck-snapping 340 horsepower. This truck has the ability to tow 5,000 pounds of widgets without breaking a sweat as well as attack corners like it was meant to be a sports coupe. It outperforms its competitors, is reasonably priced, and, suited up inside with white-on-black gauges, we couldn't resist.
