It seems like our friends in Canada are doing it right when it comes to building solid, clean, fast-moving trucks. Brad Ewen is the sales and marketing manager for Tomcar, a company with a reputation for building capable go-anywhere vehicles. When he called us to inform us of this '09 GMC Sierra he was having built, the last thing he said was, "This won't be some jacked up all sprung-out truck made to only look nice. I want this baby to run wide open through the forest or the desert." As you can imagine, that got our attention and so did the finished product.
