All-new Ram 1500 Wins Best Pickup Truck of the Year by Cars.com for 2019

JStar’s Orange County Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Anaheim – Cars.com editors announced today the 2019 Ram 1500 is their choice for Best Pickup Truck of the Year.

According to Cars.com/PickupTrucks.com editors, “From the beginning, we knew this new Ram 1500 was going to be good, with its stronger frame, higher payload and towing numbers, quieter interior, hybrid engine technology and stunning 12-inch touchscreen display, but we didn’t know how good until we actually got behind the wheel and put it through its paces. There’s plenty of drama here with a cleaner outside look and one of the most luxurious interiors you’ll find in any segment, but we especially like that this is now a stronger and safer cargo hauler delivering one of the best on-road drive experiences around.”

All winning vehicles are 2019 models and each vehicle represented on the list excels in three key criteria: quality, innovation and value.

2019 Ram 1500
The all-new 2019 Ram 1500 is a no-compromise truck, leading in luxury, efficiency, capability and innovation. Ram leads the full-size truck segment with significant gains in fuel efficiency through an all-new eTorque mild hybrid system in both V-6 and V-8 configurations. Overall weight for the Ram 1500 has been reduced by 225 pounds. The frame uses advanced materials and engineering to eliminate 100 pounds while increasing stiffness and durability for 12,750 pounds of towing capability and 2,300 pounds of payload. The new Uconnect 4C with a massive 12-inch touchscreen leads the pickup world with technology, featuring split-screen capability, 360-degree camera views and exclusive content from SiriusXM with 360L.
