Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Ranked Best Pickup Truck in 2020
Posted on January 28, 2020
Each year, the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) holds a TestFest event to assess the contenders for the Canadian Car of the Year Award. For pick-up trucks, a special drive route is created to really put the trucks to the test and discover which ones can handle difficult conditions and which ones cannot. Because pick-up trucks are used in all kinds of conditions, this route features mud-lined puddles, inclines, and some light fording to find out the off-roading capability in relation to its highway driving range.
In 2020, the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel was named as the Best Pickup Truck in Canada by AJAC. Whether you are using the truck for work or just for fun, you can enjoy a great truck with all necessary features. The AJAC highlighted the fact that the half-ton Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is best-in-class for its 3.0-litre V6's 480 lb-ft of torque while also offering segment-best highway fuel economy for a 4x4 with 8.0L/100 km.
But the AJAC isn't the only publication that has recognized the 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel's greatness. It is the winner of the 2020 Edmunds Top Rated Truck Award, the 2020 Pickup of the Year by Auto123.com, and a Consumer Guide Best Buy 12 years in a row. The list of features and configurations makes it easy to see why it has been lauded by so many.
The 2020 Ram 1500 can now tow and haul more than any previous model. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel offers towing capacity up to 12,750 pounds and 2,020 pounds of payload. In terms of safety, it offers more than 100 standard and available safety and security features, including blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, 360-degree surround view, and adaptive cruise control.
In addition, the Ram 1500 offers class-exclusive interior features not available from other manufacturers. This includes the largest available media centre touchscreen, coming in at 12 inches. The touchscreen allows access to the award-winning Uconnect system, which includes Bluetooth streaming audio, satellite radio, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, wi-fi, and more. Safety, security, information, and lifestyle applications are available at the tip of your fingers.
The Ram 1500 also features reclining rear seats in crew cab models and a reconfigurable centre console that provides room to work and space to store your stuff. You can also enjoy a smooth, quiet ride in the 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel thanks to an easy-driving powertrain and background noise dampening provided by technological and engineering advances. The power dual-pane sunroof offers you panoramic views by sunlight or moonlight.
The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is an immensely powerful and capable pickup truck that can more than meet your hauling, towing, and driving needs. The fuel economy is excellent, and the interior is spacious and lush. The EcoDiesel is available on any trim, drivetrain, and cab configuration, so you can customize the truck to exactly what you need. There is a reason that the AJAC named this the Best Pickup Truck in Canada. Now, you need to go and see it for yourself.
