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 duration of the fair, September 24th-October 17th on PickupTrucks.com.
