Where last week’s 2018 Ford 1500 diesel was essentially a newly tuned Lion turbo-diesel in the 2018 Ford F-150, the 20 is truly an all-new truck. After all, a truck is only as good as its capability to properly carry a truck camper, right? We are going to tackle each of these new trucks individually and analyze their implications for the truck camper marketplace. In the midst of my flight prep, I decided to take on these announcements one at a time. The torrent of truck news from Detroit nearly had me driving our rig to BLM beyond the reaches of cell towers and civilization. It’s a big truck news moment folks right here and now. On top of all this, last week Ford announced their new diesel half-ton and Fiat Chrysler reported that it’s moving Ram HD truck production from Mexico back to the United States. And Ram has produced an all-new new half-ton. Chevrolet has debuted the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Ford has finally launched the 2019 Ford Ranger. The Detroit Auto Show kicked off this week and oh baby is there a lot of truck news. Ram’s half-ton just became a serious truck camper player.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles announces a radical new 20 with new sheet metal, new interiors, more torque, more payload, more towing capacity, and a list of forward-thinking upgrades to make the competition sweat.
