Ram Named ‘North American Truck of the Year’ at Detroit Auto Show
Jurors were impressed by Ram’s eTorque mild-hybrid technology, luxurious interiors and 12-inch Uconnect touchscreen.
The all-new Ram 1500 has been named “2019 North American Truck of the Year” by a panel of automotive experts. The award is unique and considered by many to be one of the world’s most prestigious based on its diverse mix of 60 automotive journalists from the U.S. and Canada who serve as the voting jurors.
The winners were announced at a news conference today at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit (aka Detroit Auto Show).
“The Ram 1500 is an important product for FCA and winning this award is one of the highest honors,” said Reid Bigland, Head of Ram Brand. “In what is arguably the most competitive segment in the automotive industry, for the all-new 2019 Ram 1500 to be named ‘North American Truck of the Year’ is tremendous recognition of the FCA employees who design, engineer and build a pickup that truly stands out.”
Jurors cited Ram’s eTorque mild-hybrid technology, luxurious interiors and 12-inch Uconnect touchscreen among their top reasons for selecting the Ram 1500 over competing vehicles.
This is the 26th year of the awards. The 2013 Ram 1500 also won North American Truck of the Year honors.
