- Well now I'm confused; I was licking my chops thinking of a 2014 2500 with the 6.4L and rear air suspension...but...a half-ton would certainly meet my current needs and, wow, does a 19/28mpg diesel, 8-speed automatic, and FULL air suspension Ram 1500 ever sound tasty.
This new Ram half-ton...the Ram HD lineup...the new GM twins, with new HDs on the way...Ford's Ecoboost...a Titan diesel on the way...it's an exciting time to be a truck fan. - Surprising that GM didn't win and that the Ram Turd won 2 years in a row. Guess Sergio must have bought more ads than any one else.
Also love how they changed the rules so the No Guts, No Glory, Ram would win.In a recent interview with Autoblog, president and CEO of Ram Truck, Reid Bigland, noted the EcoDiesel will not show up to dealerships until March 2014, which is a little odd, because in past Motor Trend Truck of the Year competitions, they have noted that for vehicles to qualify for their award, vehicles must be on sale the first week of January.

Yeah. Life is tough when you bought a loser.:B- Chevy did nothing more than beef up the 5.3. Same boring body. To make it look like they increased rear seat room all they did was move the 'B' pillar forward to make the rear egress easier. The cab is the same just a bigger back door. Not really mind blowing differences compared to having a 1/2 ton diesel in your line up. Ford will come out with something edgy in 2015, but for now GM is just polishing a turd.
- Boy already a couple of poor losers :W
They did kind of bend the rules this year but so did Ram putting a diesel in a 5 lugger :B - The new truck offerings are certainly exciting....but, price as tested for this Ram $57,000....is that what we are looking at for these new baby diesels?
- OK, my eyes playing tricks on me. I thought the title of this thread was:

Nope. Not really a GM guy and I had no dog in this fight. But it seems like a lot of excuses to get the worst of the bunch (Ram) to "win".
Then again, the field for the TOTY is not really that big at all and it almost seems like it is a stupid "award".itguy08 wrote:

I'll bite:
Just what makes it the worst of the bunch in "your opinion"
