Ram 1500 Diesel wins MT truck-of-the-year

  • First time a brand has won back-to-back awards from MT.
  • The 4x4 got 19/26 mpg in their testing. EPA numbers still to come.
  • Too bad you can't get one until March.
  • GM must be

The mpg numbers alone should sell those trucks . . . even without the air ride and all that fancy stuff. I can't wait to see if they can uncork one of those motors and see what it will really do.

Lots of info in there... I like it!
I was thinking about trading my wife's truck in for one of these, but it'll be paid off next month. I think I'll just eat the fuel bill for no truck payment.

[*]GM must be
You mean Government Motors actually cares about trying to compete?
Peterson's 4-wheel had an article comparing similar v6 4x4's. The Chevy had more power but the way the smaller motor worked with the bigger trans, they prefered the Dodge.
They didn't test a Frod, Frod only wanted to send them an egoboost, and they wanted a normal v6.
