AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Nov. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- U.S. News & World Report has named Ram the Best Truck
Brand for 2021. This is the second consecutive year that Ram has
earned the Best Truck Brand title. The Best Vehicle Brand awards,
evaluating 34 brands, recognizes industry-wide excellence for cars,
SUVs, trucks and luxury vehicles.
"This recognition validates Ram Truck's unrelenting efforts to
deliver more value for our customers," said Mike Koval, Head of Ram Brand, FCA -
North America. "It is immensely
satisfying to have U.S. News & World recognize Ram Truck as the
Best Truck Brand for a second consecutive year."
The rankings are based on an in-depth analysis by U.S. News
& World Report of all credible, published reviews and test
drives, as well as reliability and safety data.
"Ram wins the Best Truck Brand award on the strength of the Ram
1500, which is one of the few trucks on the market that makes a
case for itself as a work vehicle and daily driver. The Ram 1500
features a coil-over suspension that makes the Ram comfortable
enough for commuting, but capable enough for serious towing and
hauling," said Jamie Page Deaton,
Executive Editor, U.S. News Best Cars. "The Ram interior features a
top-notch infotainment system with intuitive controls and a huge
touchscreen. The interior of high-end Ram trims feature materials
that keep pace with what luxury SUVs offer."
To determine the award winners, U.S. News Best Cars averaged the
overall score of all the given brand's products in each award
class. The brand with the highest overall average score was named
the winner in the category. The overall scores come directly from
the U.S. News Best Cars rankings, which are based on a combination
of safety scores, reliability data and the consensus of the
automotive press.
