Mark Phelan, a distinguished automotive journalist who works for the news provider, explained that this model was chosen as the winner because it &quot;combines workhorse capability with fuel efficiency.&quot; The Ram gets 25 miles to the gallon, putting it at the front of its class in terms of fuel economy. There are also a number of engine choices, so drivers are able to get the right amount of power that they need to tow heavy loads and handle other big jobs.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The new Ram 1500 takes a massive step forward in technology and fuel economy, representing the direction the Ram Truck Brand is heading with all its models,&quot; said Fred Diaz, president and CEO of Ram Truck Brand and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Chrysler\" class=\"dnautolink\">Chrysler<\/a> de Mexico for Chrysler Group LLC. &quot;&#8230; This award will be well-received by our dealers and customers, reiterating the fact that Ram has the best truck on the market.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Drivers who like the Ram truck don&#039;t necessarily have to purchase a new model to get a great pickup, as these vehicles have been produced for many years. This makes it easy to find used vehicles at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\" class=\"dnautolink\">New Jersey State Auto Auction<\/a>, which carries a wide selection of makes and models. If car shoppers cannot decide between a Ram and other popular models such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Ford\" class=\"dnautolink\">Ford<\/a> F-150 or the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/preowned\/index.cfm?make=Toyota\" class=\"dnautolink\">Toyota<\/a> Tundra, they can take test drives to make a more informed decision. No matter what they choose, they can drive off the lot with confidence, as each model is CARFAX certified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2013 Ram 1500 was recently named the Truck of the Year by the Detroit Free Press.
