Esquire magazine’s truck of the year is…

Ram Ecodiesel mpg

We’re proud to share the news that the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel has been named Esquire magazine’s Truck of the Year. Why is this so exciting? Well, Esquire is a men’s lifestyle magazine that might not traditionally interest the pickup-driving gentlemen, and likewise many Esquire subscribers probably aren’t generally thought of as pickup drivers… and that’s exactly what makes the award great. The mark of a truly great product is its ability to cross stereotypical lines and appeal to a broad audience for its overall likability and appeal — and that’s exactly what the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is able to do. From the Ram EcoDiesel’s mpg to its refined and luxurious interior options, this is a pickup for everybody. 

So, what do the editors at Esquire look for in a truck? They consider efficiency, that’s for sure, which is a huge part of what makes the EcoDiesel such a great choice for the highest honor. With best-in-class fuel economy of 28 hwy mpg thanks in part to its unique Torqueflite 8-speed transmission, the Ecodiesel soars above the competition.

They also look at versatility. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel comes in a variety of cab sizes and bed lengths so that whether your focus is on passengers, cargo, or the right mix of both, there’s a model that’s going to be just right for you. When it comes to interior style, the Ram is definitely no slouch, either, with higher trim levels like the Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, and Laramie limited providing luxurious surroundings hat include full-leather seating and genuine wood.
