Seriously, the "light truck" market is a joke. They're passenger cars for guys who pretend their balls are so big they need a truck to lug them around in.
It is funny that a F-150 Platinum costs the same as a F-750.

Lots of auto DNA in truck companies:

Hino is Toyota's medium and heavy duty truck brand.
Freightliner is is owned by Daimler (Mercedes)
International is jumping into bed with GM and VW
Mack is owned by Volvo (Trucks not cars)

Kenworth and Peterbilt are the same company (PACCAR) and really the only independent truck company left in the USA.
