Since becoming a standalone brand a decade ago, Ram Truck has captured MotorTrend's Truck of the Year title five times: 2010, 2013, 2014, 2019 and 2020.
MotorTrend's 'Of the Year' award recognizes the best vehicles representing exceptional value, superiority in their classes and impact on the automotive scene. This accolade is one of the most coveted automotive industry awards and represents the pinnacle of an extremely competitive segment.

The winners are not chosen from a direct comparison against other finalists, but instead a result of how each contender measured against the award's six criteria: design advancement, engineering excellence, efficiency, safety, value and performance of intended function.
A full report on MotorTrend's comprehensive testing will be featured on MotorTrend.com and in the
