Ford's F-150 SVT Raptor is the undisputed king of production off-road truck awesomeness, but we’re sure--if ever built--a production version of the 2011 GMC Sierra All Terrain HD pickup truck concept could sure give it a run for its money. In live form the truck looks every bit as menacing, if not more so, than the previous official images had lead us to believe. This bad boy is designed for towing and hauling in harsh off-road environments--it's still a Sierra HD, but with a more sinister side. Not surprisingly, there’s a beefy V-8 turbodiesel under the hood, capable of towing...

Scott Brown And His Predictable But Effective 2005 GMC Canyon
We wish we could get excited about Scott Brown*. Yes, his victory was historic. Yes it will mean interesting things in Washington. But for the love of Benji, did the man have to whip out a pickup truck to prove that he's a red-blooded American? Snore. Now, look: we have nothing against pickup...
