I bought this title thinking it had nothing to do with cars and only trucks. Since it is a sister publication to Motor Trend, I should have known. I just received my first copy. It is full of crossover SUV's CUV's,etc. WHY? They try to justify it buy saying that these models have grown bigger and thus should be included? Come on, you ALREADY have a car mag to include them in. When I guy a truck mag, I buy it for truck content. My guess is that it is so thin with only truck stuff, that they have to pad it with car stuff just so they can sell it.

Because of the bi-monthly printing the "news" of this publication is hardly up to date. I have a suggestion; go monthly and get a better pulse on the market.

I wish they published this magazine every month even though I don't rate the magazine all that high.. The magazine has pretty heavy coverage on pickup trucks and skimpy coverage of crossovers and SUVs. In their latest issue they did a "best of" SUV review but didn't consider scores of popular SUV models in their ranking. For this they get two stars out of five.

Truck Trend offers many of the same advantages as Motor Trend, as these sister publications cover an enormous inventory of vehicles retailed here and abroad. This is a must have at $10/yr, and with Amazones relationships with many businesses and publishers, they offer a $5 GC on some great automobile monthlies. I have been a subsciber to both C & D, M. T, and now Truck Trend for in excess of 5-yrs, and the others, C & D, Motor Trend, etc for close to 12-yrs. They al have their specialty as to why I subscribe to each, together they really keep the auto enthusiast on the edge of their seat and in close contact with their banker/credit provider as the selection annually of auto's to purchase just keeps getting BETTER!
