2019 Ram 1500 Lands Cars.com's Best Pickup Truck of 2019 Award
Like no other half-ton pickup truck before it, the all-new 2019 Ram 1500 has captured the imagination of this truck-loving nation for several reasons. The only exception we can think of is the Ford F-150 Raptor, but for completely different reasons. We're pleased to announce that the 2019 Ram 1500 has been named Cars.com's Best Pickup Truck of 2019.
We have to say we saw this coming. Our colleagues at Cars.com named the all-new Ram the Best in Show when it debuted during the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in a field of cars, SUVs and other significantly updated pickups. That award turned out to be a harbinger of more awards to come as the Ram continued to pick up accolades throughout the year.
We spent a full year driving several different light-duty half tons, comparing them to each other and putting them through lots of tests — including one of our signature multi-truck Challenges. Those experiences are what led us to choose the 2019 Ram 1500 as the Best Pickup of 2019.
There are many reasons to like this new Ram 1500, from the new frame with a higher gross vehicle weight rating and towing capacity to its clever mild-hybrid powertrain, but our favorite feature is the monster optional 12-inch high-definition touchscreen that's the command center of an impressively luxurious interior. Our judges were unanimous in their decision that the Ram was tops in a field that included three other worthy nominees.
