Full-size pickups, as the EPA certifies them.
9 cards
When the all-new Silverado arrived for 1999, GM kept building the old heavy-duty GMT400 trucks alongside it for two more years before the GMT800 HD finally replaced them in 2001.
Ford was so unsure buyers would accept the radically redesigned 1997 F-150 that it kept building and selling the old 1996 truck alongside it for months.
Ford brought in Formula 1 legend Jackie Stewart to help tune the suspension on the F-150 SVT Lightning — a three-time world champion dialing in a pickup truck's handling.
The 1987 F-150 redesign made history with something easy to overlook: it was the first full-size American pickup to switch to composite headlights.
The first SVT Lightning's handling was tuned by F1 legend Jackie Stewart - a three-time world champion fine-tuning a Ford pickup truck.
This F-150 was the first American pickup truck fitted with composite headlamps, part of a 1987 facelift aimed at a more aerodynamic front end.
This F-150 scored two five-star ratings from NHTSA in crash tests, but a flat "Poor" from the insurance industry's own IIHS frontal test. Same truck, opposite verdicts.
The GMT400 split the twins for good: 1988 was the year "C/K" became Chevrolet-only badging, while GMC's version of the very same truck became the Sierra.
This Sierra kept rolling off the line for a full extra year after its replacement arrived - badged "Classic" in 2007 just to tell the two generations apart on dealer lots.
