RAM 1500 Wins Truck of the Year Award

After being put through performance testing that lasted an agonizing 1,300 miles, the 2019 RAM 1500 has emerged as the clear winner of the 2019 Pickup Truck of the Year award. This award, given in recognition of all that’s been put into the 1500, was awarded after the RAM and its competitors were tested in the fields of driving performance, off-roading capability, towing, hauling, and fuel economy while other features such as technology, seat comfort, interior ergonomics, usability, and each vehicle’s overall build were put under inspection from the Truck Trend judges. Once every square inch was inspected and every part was tested the judges couldn’t help but note how high the overall standard of luxury had been set for the 1500 and other pickups should seek to achieve the gold standard it’s set for the future.

Truck Trend, which is part of the MotorTrend Group, is internationally recognized as an industry leader when it comes to their overall authority on the overall truck category which has gained them an overall audience of more than two million readers to date. Truck Trend makes a habit of regularly testing sport-utility vehicles, crossovers, and most of all pickup trucks so that they’re able to report back any pertinent information to new truck buyers and long-time enthusiasts alike. Over the years they have more than proved that they know what they’re doing. And they proved it when they put the RAM 1500 and its bevy of competitors through trials designed to test them in every conceivable way over the course of a very long week.

The 2019 RAM 1500 has had so many of its aspects redesigned and improved overall that it’s clear to see how the latest model, as close to perfect as you could hope to reach with a truck, managed to earn the coveted Truck of the Year award. The 1500’s maximum payload and towing capacity have been increased to a whopping 2,300 pounds and 12,700 pounds respectively, which is possible due to its high-strength frame that was constructed from ninety-eight percent steel that allows it to still be light enough for improved rigidity and overall handling. The drag coefficient on the 1500 has been reduced to .357, which makes it the most aerodynamic pickup that’s currently available. Embedded into every one of the 1500’s powertrains is eTorque technology that aids fuel efficiency across the board. Further adding to this utility is an extra battery pack that acts as a start and stop function, emergency brake regeneration, and short-term torque assist feature. Along with everything else that’s been added to the 1500, there are more than one-hundred safety and security features included with the 1500, which only makes it easier to see how the 2019 RAM 1500 could win the Truck of the Year Award.
