Car and Driver has named the 2022 Ram 1500 to its 10 Best vehicle list for 2022, making it the fourth consecutive year the pickup truck has earned this prestigious award.
The award applies to the entire Ram 1500 lineup, including the Ram 1500 Warlock, the only pickup truck to secure a spot on this list for a third consecutive year.
Car and Driver evaluates each contender versus its peers using a 100-point scale, basing each score on how well it meets its intended purpose, how good a value it is and how compelling it is to operate. This award recognises the smartest, most entertaining cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans on sale today. Vehicles are judged with an emphasis on value, mission fulfillment, and if they’re fun to drive.
“Making the list for the fourth consecutive year – the third consecutive year as the only pickup truck – the Ram 1500 continues to be shockingly quiet and is still hands-down the best driving pickup truck,” said Sharon Silke Carty, editor-in-chief, Car and Driver.
“There’s great breadth to the lineup, every model accomplishes any task thrown at it. We really appreciate all the work the Ram team has done to make it enjoyable to drive.”
This is the fourth year in a row Ram 1500 – the most awarded light-duty truck in America – has been named Car and Driver’s 10 Best. This year’s list marks the third consecutive time the Ram 1500 earned a spot as the only truck.
“Earning a spot on Car and Driver’s 10Best vehicle list validates our long-standing commitment to our customers through advanced technology and engineering expertise,” said Mike Koval Jr., Ram brand CEO – Stellantis.
“We are honored to be the only pickup truck on this list for the third year in a row and express our gratitude to the Car and Driver editors for recognizing Ram 1500 as the best-driving pickup truck available today.”
The Ram 1500 is available in New Zealand priced from $94,990 to $159,990.
