AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --

• Ram 1500 lineup earns the award for the sixth time in seven years
• Car and Driver evaluates each contender versus its peers using a 100-point scale, basing each score on intended purpose, value and vehicle operation
• Ram brand offers a full lineup focused on meeting the demands of truck buyers and delivering benchmark quality

Car and Driver has named the 2025 Ram 1500 to its 10Best vehicle list for 2025. The award applies to the entire Ram 1500 lineup.

"The competition in the auto industry, and particularly in the truck segment, is fierce and it is an honor to have the Ram 1500 as the only full-size pickup on Car and Driver's 2025 10Best list," said Chris Feuell, CEO of Ram and Chrysler brands. "It is a testament to the qualities our customers value the most, from the performance of the 3.0-liter Hurricane Straight Six Turbo engine to the class-leading ride and handling and the breadth of our tailored trim levels, including the award-winning, top-of-the-line Tungsten luxury trim."

Car and Driver evaluates each 10Best contender versus its peers using a 100-point scale. A winning vehicle must deliver on its intended purpose better than its competition, offer great value and be entertaining to drive. For two weeks, Car and Driver editors drove, measured, tested and scrutinized more than 55 cars, trucks, SUVs and vans. 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.

"One part giant, one part isolation chamber, two parts workhorse, it's modern American luxury," said Tony Quiroga, editor-in-chief, Car and Driver.

This is the sixth time in the past seven years Ram 1500 has been named to Car and Driver's 10Best.
