CHICAGO, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The
PickupTrucks.com team is heading to the State Fair of Texas where it will sponsor the Truck Zone
stage and introduce its all new iPhone app. The experts at
PickupTrucks.com will also be covering the latest news and
announcements live from the show.
"If you're a truck enthusiast or cover the truck industry, the
State Fair of Texas is a
must-attend event," says PickupTrucks.com editor Mike Levine. "I'm excited that we can show
some support for this great fair by sponsoring the Truck Zone stage
and bringing our site visitors a first-hand account of the show.
With the buzz around trucks coming out of the show, we also thought
it was a perfect time for the launch of our all new iPhone app."
Launched this week, the PickupTrucks.com app allows pickup truck
shoppers to search dealer and private-party pickup truck listings
so they can easily locate the vehicle they want while on the go.
The app, which also works on the iPod Touch and iPad, is free and
can be downloaded from the App Store on iTunes.
"Our iPhone app will offer pickup truck shoppers the best of
PickupTrucks.com," says Levine. "The app gives iPhone users the
ability to access important information about buying their next
truck whenever and wherever they want."
As part of its sponsorship of the Truck Zone stage,
PickupTrucks.com will also let State Fair of Texas visitors vote on their favorite
Heavy-Duty truck of the Fair. Beginning September 24th fair goers can visit
PickupTrucks.com to cast their vote.
"In September we picked our favorite three-quarter ton gas,
three-quarter ton diesel and one-ton diesel as part of the
PickupTrucks.com Heavy-Duty Shootout," said Levine. "We want
to give consumers a chance to weigh-in on their favorite."
Voting for Heavy-Duty Truck of the Fair will last the entire
