The all-new Dodge Ram pickup continues its winning streak, taking home Consumer Guide’s “Best Buy for 2009” in the Large Pickup category.
“Dodge Ram gets our Best Buy nod thanks to its composed ride, impressively comfortable and quiet cabin and unique cargo storage features,” said Tom Appel, Associate Publisher – Consumer Guide Automotive. “Ram is also remarkably maneuverable for a large pickup truck.”
Since 1967, Consumer Guide has published authoritative, objective reviews of new and used cars and trucks. Its staff of 16 includes 10 full-time automotive editors with more than 150 years of combined automotive experience. Consumer Guide’s singular focus is to make car shopping easier for consumers.
“We are honored that Consumer Guide chose the Dodge Ram as a best buy for 2009,” said Scott Kunselman, Vice-President Jeep/Truck Product Team, Chrysler LLC. “It’s yet another award that confirms that the all-new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 is the best pickup truck on the market.”
The all-new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab recently earned 5-star ratings for driver- and front-passenger protection in a frontal crash, the highest ratings in the U.S. government’s safety crash test program.
In addition to winning Consumer Guide’s award, the all-new Dodge Ram has picked up 10 other key awards since its introduction and was recently chosen by Car and Driver as the best full-size pickup in a head-to-head comparison test in Texas, beating the new Ford F-150.
