Dec. 3,
2024 /PRNewswire/ --
- Ram 1500 lineup earns the award for the sixth time in seven
years
- Car and Driver evaluates each contender versus its peers using
a 100-point scale, basing each score on intended purpose, value and
vehicle operation
- Ram brand offers a full lineup focused on meeting the demands
of truck buyers and delivering benchmark quality
Car and Driver has named the 2025 Ram 1500 to its 10Best vehicle
list for 2025. The award applies to the entire Ram 1500 lineup.
"The competition in the auto industry, and particularly in the
truck segment, is fierce and it is an honor to have the Ram 1500 as
the only full-size pickup on Car and Driver's 2025 10Best list,"
said Chris Feuell, CEO of Ram and Chrysler brands. "It is a
testament to the qualities our customers value the most, from the
performance of the 3.0-liter Hurricane Straight Six Turbo engine to
the class-leading ride and handling and the breadth of our tailored
trim levels, including the award-winning, top-of-the-line Tungsten
luxury trim."
Car and Driver evaluates each 10Best contender versus its peers
using a 100-point scale. A winning vehicle must deliver on its
intended purpose better than its competition, offer great value and
be entertaining to drive. For two weeks, Car and Driver editors
drove, measured, tested and scrutinized more than 55 cars,
trucks, SUVs and vans. Any truck, SUV or van with a base price
higher than $110,000 was excluded
from consideration, based on the editors' belief that a high price
should guarantee excellence.
"One part giant, one part isolation chamber, two parts
workhorse, it's modern American luxury," said Tony Quiroga,
editor-in-chief, Car and Driver.
This is the sixth time in the past seven years Ram 1500 has been
named to Car and Driver's 10Best.
