To make the list, each vehicle must deliver on its intended purpose better than its competition, offer great value and be entertaining to drive. Any truck, SUV or van with a base price higher than $110,000 was excluded from consideration, based on the editors’ belief that a high price should guarantee excellence. “For everyone looking for a full-size pickup, which is a lot of Americans, the Ram 1500 meets all your needs and exceeds expectations. Its coil-spring rear suspension provides luxury-SUV-like ride quality, making the bouncy competition feel like farm trucks,” said Joey Capparella, senior editor, Car and Driver. “The Ram’s interior is its most impressive and delightful attribute featuring carefully selected materials, including leather, metal trim, open-pore wood and the kind of attention to detail we’d expect from a luxury sedan” This is the fifth year in a row Ram 1500 – the most awarded light-duty truck in America – has been named to Car and Driver’s 10Best.
