RAM 1500 Named Truck of Texas at Annual Texas Truck Rodeo

The Ram 1500 lassoed top honors as the Truck of Texas at the annual Texas Truck Rodeo, hosted by the Texas Automotive Writers Association (TAWA). Ram Truck secured six awards at the event, including several consecutive honors. Members also gave accolades to Wagoneer, the premium extension of the Jeep® brand, for Best Interior and for Best New Feature with the Hurricane Twin Turbo engine. After two days of challenging on- and off-road driving, TAWA members voted for the best performing vehicles and Stellantis brands secured eight of 19 possible awards.

In addition to the coveted Truck of Texas title, Ram dominated the competition, winning Full-size Pickup Truck of Texas for a fifth consecutive year; Heavy Duty Pickup of Truck of Texas for a sixth consecutive year and Luxury category for a seventh consecutive year. Ram 1500 also picked up awards for Best Performance and Highest Personal Appeal.

TAWA writers/jurors were able to drive both the Ram 1500 Limited and the high-performance TRX and both impressed on and off road. Ram Limited performed seamlessly and is both stunning and comfortable inside, while the TRX is pure fun and performance. The combination the Ram 1500 lineup offers impressed our jurors and makes it the Truck of Texas.
