In order to choose the pickup of the year, they had to put them to the test! TRUCK TREND picked eight trucks to undergo 1,300 miles of grueling performance tests in the state of California! This demanding test included off-roading, fuel economy calculation, towing, hauling, and performance testing. These are areas that truck owners expect their vehicles to deliver with gusto. The judges from TRUCK TREND spent a lot of time with each truck so they could develop informed opinions on factors like build quality, technology and usability, seat comfort, and interior ergonomics. The Ram 1500 came out on top in every way!
