It's a guy thing. Tim Allen understands. If you've got a job to do, you need the right tool. As guy logic goes, the bigger and more powerful the tool, the better.<br />
<br />
If what you do requires a tool shaped like a truck, then you're currently experiencing a nirvana-like period in history. In just the last few months, Chrysler and General Motors introduced their new heavy-duty trucks. We drove the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/29/2010-dodge-ram-hd-first-drive/">2010 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty</a> in October and liked it. We also saw the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/02/10/chicago-2010-2011-chevrolet-silverado-heavy-duty-ups-the-ante/">Chevrolet and GMC HDs</a> at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/chicago-auto-show/">Chicago Auto Show</a> last month. Although we've yet to get behind the wheel, the powertrain and chassis improvements appear promising. <br />
<br />
Not to be left out, Ford's rolling introduction of its latest F-Series Super Duty just culminated with an Arizona-based press-only driving event (we first <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/24/2011-ford-super-duty-debuts-at-texas-state-fair-with-two-new-eng/">reported on the new truck</a> in September). Want to know everything about Ford's big, new tool? For starters, the blue oval on the grille measures 13 inches. Believe it or not, there's more. Find out after the jump.<br />
