Each year, the staff at Four Wheeler Magazine tests and ranks new trucks hitting the market based on a wide range of categories. For nearly 30 years, the truck that out-performs its competition receives the coveted title of Pickup Truck of the Year for the year it is selected. Dodge Ram is proud to announce that the 2016 Ram 1500 Rebel has been selected as Pickup Truck of the Year by the publication.
"The Ram Rebel offers an aggressive off-road-style package on our successful Ram 1500 platform and this award from Four Wheeler magazine endorses its combination of engineering and design," said Bob Hegbloom, Head of Ram Brand, FCA - North America. "We're pleased this opinion-leading off-road enthusiast publication recognizes the Rebel as its Pickup Truck of the Year."
The process of selecting Truck of the Year isn’t as simple as many would think. Four Wheeler Magazine holds an annual competition in which seven judges drive each new model truck more than 1,000 miles over five days. This allows each judge the opportunity to test each model of truck in almost every type of driving condition.
"If there's one word to describe the Ram 1500 Rebel, it's balanced," said Four Wheeler Editor Christian Hazel. "No matter what we threw at the Ram 1500 Rebel, it just flat-out worked with no drama, no excuses and no compromises. The Ram 1500 Rebel was the vehicle the Four Wheeler judges overwhelmingly chose not only as the 2016 Four Wheeler Pickup Truck of the Year, but the vehicle they'd most like to take home.”
The 2016 Ram 1500 Rebel offers top fuel efficiency (29 mpg), towing capacity and payload. These, along with its stylish design and comfortable interior, make the Ram 1500 the most recognizable truck on the road. By focusing its innovation on real-world truck owners, Ram Truck Brand has been able to remain an industry-leader since its debut in 2009.
