We've talked about how the Ram 1500 can take on the cold, which is very important with the impending winter, but did you know that the Ram 1500 is also award-winning, tech-savvy, and eco-friendly? Here are some highlights of the 1500 from this year:
- In addition to winning Motor Trend's Truck of the Year in 2013 and 2014, Ram announced the model was so popular, it would increase production to meet popular demand. They also recently announced an increase in the production mix of the fuel-efficient 1500 EcoDiesel, which sold out earlier this year. The EcoDiesel option will soon represent 20 percent of all 1500 models.
- Last week, the Green Car Journal announced that the 1500 EcoDiesel was its 2015 Green Truck of the Year, citing the efficient 3.0L engine and improved highway aerodynamics as features that led them to choose the 1500 for this honor.
- The model has seen incredible innovation this year-- the model's 3.6L PENTASTAR V6 engine (also available in a 5.7 HEMI V8) with TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission won Best Powertrain at the Annual Texas Truck Rodeo. Combined with four-corner air suspension for a smooth ride, and features like a thermal management system and stop-start system, this model is a showstopper.
