Well, the wait is over and the results are in: the 2014 RAM 1500 has won the Motor Trend Truck of the Year.
What's even more exciting is that this isn't just any win; this marks the first time that a truck has won this prestigious award two years in a row, for 2013 and now 2014.
As in previous years, the Ram 1500 pickup truck was stacked up against strong competition from other truck makers. The contending trucks were put through their paces in a series of road tests to see which full-size deserves customers hard-earned dollars. A few examples of Motor Trends' testing includes:
- A standard road test in order to determine which truck as the smoothest ride
- Handling test to see which truck is capable of throwing everything the road has in store for it
- And a towing/payload test in order to calculate which truck is capable of getting the job done
Overall, the 2014 RAM 1500 didn't just best the competition in the Motor Trend tests, it also exceeded the publication's own expectations in becoming their pick for the Truck of the Year. We at Morehart Murphy Regional Auto Center invite truck enthusiasts around Durango and beyond to stop in today at 30 Parker Ave to test drive the new RAM 1500.
