For the last 31 years Ford’s F-Series has held its place as the nation’s no. 1 truck seller, but 2009 is bringing bigger challenges to Ford’s position as no. 1 truck seller. Companies like Chevrolet, Dodge, Toyota and Nissan are all trying their hardest to knock Ford out of its position.

Improvements in the area horsepower, interior and fuel efficiency are making 2009 competition all the more challenging. Each manufacturer has unique features that make their particular truck special.

With gas reaching close to $4 a gallon, fuel efficiency is something that ways heavily on most people’s minds. Dodge has taken advantage of these concerns and created the new 2009 Dodge Ram that is 4% more fuel-efficient.

Not only is the new Ram more fuel-efficient, but also has increased the horsepower to 380. It also has features such as heated and cooled front seat and heated back seats. It has a DVD player and 30 gig hard drive to store music or photos.

The technology in the new Ford F-150 is enough to make even Dodge shutter. It comes equipped with the new Sync system, a voice activated system that has more features than any other system on the market. It also comes with a 700-watt Sony audio system and SIRIUS Travel Link navigation.

It will be interesting to see who comes out on top of this one.
