We wrapped up our coverage of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show on a high note, proclaiming that our Studs and Duds list of new vehicle introductions was rather sparse. Then again, only seven all-new models graced the show--and that was even stretching the "all new" definition--so that made for some ...    Read more

Automakers have long bragged (and fudged) about how much weight their trucks can haul.
