That award is a joke, only 3 other entries. I think the Car and SUV awards have merit, but the truck of the year is such a small field.

btw let me remind the detractors that they used a lack of 2007 truck of the year award AGAINST the Tundra (even though it wasn't eligible.) So I'm waiting here for them to come in about how meaningless it is.

It will either be fixed, skewed, or irrelevant.
