The leading truck in the US for the last how many years?  We've had 6 x F150's over the last 10 years and they just keep getting better and better.  Gorgeous looking on the outside and inside, fun to drive, plenty of power pulling (we pull a Mastercraft with duel axle trailer) and fantastic room for the family with cargo capacity - recommend the 4 dorr crew cab for car seats!  Lots of pick me up, can be hard to pack with limited turning radius so plan for this.  

My dad drives a different company truck every 4 months.  When he had this one I had the distinct pleasure to take it on a road trip to pick up some parts for my other cars.  If I was to ever buy a truck it would be this. It is comfortable to drive even for hours on end.  The interior is also very quiet blocking out all the road noise. The handling and acceleration are surprising for such a large truck.  The one I drove even had a satellite radio with sub woofer built in so I could jam my music.
