U.S. News & World Report Names 2011 Ram 1500 Best Full-Size Pickup
U.S. News & World Report Names 2011 Ram 1500 Best Full-Size Pickup
Auburn Hills, Mich. , Jul 18, 2011 - U.S. News & World Report has named the 2011 Ram 1500 the best full-size pickup. In the magazine's ranking of top vehicle choices, Ram 1500 scored the highest among the eight full-size pickups available to U.S. buyers.
The rankings are based on an in-depth analysis by U.S. News editors of all published vehicle ratings, reviews and test drives.
"This honor recognizes, in aggregate, the consistent, positive reactions we've been getting since we launched the current Ram 1500 model," said Fred Diaz, President and CEO, Ram Truck Brand and Chrysler de Mexico, Chrysler Group LLC. "In developing the Ram 1500, our team worked hard to understand what truck customers want. Ram Truck is committed to being the truck technology and innovation leader, and that commitment will guide us as we continue to improve what is already the most awarded Ram truck ever."
Ram drew praise for its interior comfort, class-leading handling and HEMI® V-8 performance.
"The 2011 Ram 1500's smooth, car-like ride, well-designed and comfortable interior and powerful V-8 engines make it a top pick in its class," said the U.S. News editors.
"When Ram's designers updated the Ram 1500 for 2011, they managed to make improvements to an already-impressive truck," the magazine went on to say. "The result is a full-size pickup truck that many in the auto press say is the best in its class.
"Reviewers love the Ram 1500's ride, handling, power, and interior, even on less expensive trim levels. The Ram 1500 offers many convenient cargo solutions, such as storage cubbies underneath the rear seats on Crew Cab models. Other models offer the RamBox, lockable storage containers built into the truck bed above the wheel housings."
The magazine cites other third-party accolades in naming the Ram 1500 the best full-size pickup: "
The Ram 1500's interior is as good as it gets in the pickup segment." -- Edmunds "
The available V-8s are impressive performers, the chassis is well suited to heavy work and the Ram's cabin is a class leader in terms of design, ergonomics and materials." -- Edmunds
"Ram earns high marks for ride comfort, creative storage options, and abundant available power. Impressive cabin trappings are a nice bonus as well. Chevy, Ford, and Toyota loyalists would do well to have a look. You may well be won over by this Best Buy." -- Consumer Guide
"When towing various size trailers on a short loop, the HEMI-powered Ram acted as if nothing was attached to the rear. It just chugged along, getting up to 60 mph with ease, even with a 9,000-pound Air Stream attached on a simple hitch" -- Detroit News
"There are lots of nooks and crannies (more than 40) to hold cell phones, gloves, tools, folders and just about anything else. There are even two floor storage bins that include removable containers for easy cleaning." -- Detroit News
"Storage spaces abound: under the rear seats; in the doors, the center console, and the dual glove boxes; and within the new drainable, lockable 'RamBox' bins in the bed walls." -- Car and Driver
