Football starts in a WEEK, so tailgating can start . . . right now.  And Kelley Blue Book just published a list of the 10 best vehicles for tailgating in parking lots.

The Ram 1500 pickup is number one and the Ford F-150 is number two.  But not all of the best picks are trucks.  The Ford Flex, the Mazda CX-5, and the Kia Soul all made the list, along with a few other SUVs and hatchbacks.
