Yeehaw! The annual Texas Truck Rodeo has come and gone and the Texas Auto Writers Association has named the Truck of Texas: The 2020 Ram 1500. This is the second year in a row for the Ram 1500 to take home this award and it’s pretty easy to see why.
The 2020 Ram 1500 has been winning awards and trophies all over the automotive map this year. The truck is beautiful, but it’s also powerful, luxurious, and sexy.
I recently got to spend some quality time in the 2020 Ram 1500 Eco-Diesel2020 Ram 1500 Eco-Diesel: The Truck I’ve Been Waiting For… my favorite of all the trucks on the market right now. I also compared it to some of the other light-duty diesel trucks in the segment and to me, it’s a clear winner.
