RAM 1500 Wins Best Pickup Award

RAM 1500 Wins Best Pickup Award

Cars.com has declared the best pickup truck of the year for 2019 to be none other than the All-new Ram 1500. It was clear from the beginning that the Ram 1500 was going to be spectacular, its twelve-inch display, strengthened frame, hybrid engine technology, increased towing and payload capacity, and quieter interior pretty much guaranteed it. But once the Cars.com judges got behind the wheel and started putting it through its paces it only became clearer how impressive the new Ram 1500 really was. Its cleaner exterior appearance and luxurious interior space don’t hold a candle to how strong and safe a cargo hauler the 1500 really is, or how it’s one of the best driving experiences around.

About the Ram 1500

The all-new Ram 1500 for 2019 doesn’t make any compromises, not in capability, luxury, efficiency, and certainly not when it comes to innovation. The all-new eTorque mild hybrid system for both the V6 and V8 engine variants puts the 1500 at the head of the full-size truck segment when it comes to fuel efficiency. With its overall weight reduced by 225 pounds, due in part to the re-engineered frame, the 1500 offers increased durability, stiffness, a towing capacity of 12,750 pounds, and a payload capacity of 2,300 pounds. The 1500’s 12-inch touchscreen with Uconnect has it leading the pickup world when it comes to technology; with SiriusXM, split-screen capability, and 360-degree camera views. Adding to the 1500’s technological mastery are a number of safety and security features that include blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking.
