Five Ugliest Concept Trucks

The suddenly plural folks at PickupTrucks.com have singled out five concept trucks that made great strides in awfulness and, thankfully, never saw the light of day as production vehicles. Given how enthusiastic they are for concept trucks over there, you can be assured that these haulers, mainly from the 2000-01 "cheap gas, secure borders" period, are gleefully hideous. Though we actually like the Nissan XIX concept truck, which is basically a stretched, Camino'ed Sentra. What's your favorite "ugly" conceptual mother-trucker? [PickupTrucks.com]

PickupTrucks.com Sold To Cars.com, We're Going To Register 4DoorCoupe.com

While we don't think Mark Cuban will ever own the Cubs, we have it on good authority that PickupTrucks.com has been purchased by Cars.com in a deal that makes absolutely perfect sense. There's no doubt that there are few better sources of Truck-related news on the web than PickupTrucks.com, and there are also few automotive websites that spend as much on television advertising as Cars.com, meaning that the combination of the two is a match made in heaven. Fear not as Mike Levine, the site's editor and longtime Jalopnik super friend, is going to maintain editorial control of the site until Rabbi Dave of Kicking Tires stages a bloody coup later this summer... but perhaps we've said too much. A press release officially announcing the deal will probably drop tomorrow.
