It's a little early for an April Fool's Day joke, so we're going to go ahead and report on the surprisingly cool 2010 Pontiac G8 Sport Truck ($TBA). First things first — we're going to have to do something about that name. This is the next generation El Camino. Period. So let's make it official. Pontiac has set up a site for guys to submit naming ideas. Like our compatriots at Jalopnik, we are officially supporting the El Camino moniker. So click on over and tell Pontiac what this thing is going to be called. Ok, back to the new truck-car. The 2010 El Camino, based on the Pontiac G8 GT sedan, will feature a 361-hp 6.0-liter V8 (good for a 0-60 time of 5.4 seconds) and can handle up to a 1,300-pound payload and tow up to a 3,500-pound trailer. Extras include 18-inch wheels, four-wheel independent suspension with electronic stability control, and a 230-watt Blaupunkt AM/FM/six-disc CD changer with MP3 integration. [More Photos]

Just when you thought trucks couldn’t get much cooler, here comes something like the F-250 Super Chief Concept ($TBD) to blow that thought out of the water. It carries super-bold styling that “underscores the design and innovation that will define all Ford vehicles going forward,” a supercharged V-10 that can run for 500 miles between fill-ups on hydrogen, E85 ethanol or gasoline, and an interior full of high-grade materials like American walnut, brushed aluminum and rich brown leather. Add to that some state-of-the-art safety equipment, and you have another show vehicle that we’re begging Ford to put into production.

Trucks have always been known for their utility, but only recently have we seen a push for performance in these beasts — and when it comes to performance, this truck is the tops. The Dodge Ram SRT-10 (starting at $47,000) boasts an engine stolen from a Dodge family member — specifically the 8.3 liter V-10 from the Viper that produces 500 horsepower and propels the SRT-10 from 0-60 in just a hair over 5 seconds. Other niceties include 22-inch wheels, a six-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter, and an aluminum cover with a fixed spoiler. Haul people, haul cargo, or just haul ass.

If you want luxury, but need a pickup, you don't have to compromise. The 2006 Lincoln Mark LT (starting at $40,000) has the best of everything and can still get the dirtiest job done.

Outside, it sports a beautiful chrome grille, four full-size doors, a 5.5 foot pickup bed, and rear park assist sensors. Under the hood, the Mark Lt packs a V-8 that generates 300 hp and 365 lb.-ft of torque for impressive towing capacity.

Remember, just because you’re driving a truck doesn’t mean you can’t be driving in style.

Lots of bags claim to offer plenty of interior organization, but none let you adjust it to fit your particular set of gear. Until now.

Some of the best home cooked meals must be prepared using a cast-iron skillet. But it takes dozens of uses in order to season one, as the food you cook slowly ads its essence to the skillet, creating that famous, non-stick black coating. Seasoning a pan this way can take years... until now. Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillets ($10-$40) ship pre-seasoned, the result of a secret process that uses vegetable oil and high temperature gas ovens to create the perfect patina. Grills ($140) and Dutch Ovens ($40-$100) are also available. Just don't tell Grandma that you cheated.
