The rankings are based on an in-depth analysis by U.S. News editors of all published vehicle ratings, reviews and test drives. “In addition to being a fully capable full-size pickup truck, reviewers say the 1500 has the smoothest ride in the class and first-class cabin materials that make it feel like a luxury car,” said Jamie Page Deaton, Managing Editor – U.S. News Best Cars. “The Ram 1500 also has an available diesel engine with plenty of grunt for towing, as well as great fuel economy.” The Best Cars for the Money methodology combines quality and value data into a composite score.
