The Ram 1500 lassoed top honours 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 honours.
Members also accented to Wagoneer, the premium extension of the Jeep® brand, for Best Interior and 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 successive year and Luxury category for the seventh straight 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,” said Teia Collier, president of TAWA. “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.”
This year’s Rodeo was held at Eagles Canyon Raceway in Decatur, Texas, featuring both on-road and technical off-road driving opportunities. TAWA members cast their votes after two days of vehicle evaluations. Consideration is given to everything from exterior/interior styling and off-road capability to the entrant’s overall utility, value and performance.
