At Avondale Dodge we pride ourselves on being a team that is passionate about the vehicles that we sell. With a no-commission sales team we can focus on knowing the Dodge and Ram vehicles inside and out. So we weren’t surprised when Motor Trend named the 2014 Ram 1500 the Truck of the Year, we were excited…but not surprised!
Want to know more about Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year? Here’s what makes this truck and the diesel engine in it so impressive:
V6 Turbodiesel 240 Horse Power…
· Diesel contains 15% more energy than gasoline.
· Diesel burns slower, which means lower RPM’s.
Better fuel mileage…
· MPG Estimates: City 19 MPG, Highway 26 MPG, Combined 21 MPG
· Compare to GMC Sierra at City 15 MPG, Highway 20 MPG, Combined 17 MPG
Motor Trend put the truck to the test of the worst owners…
· Our testing represents the type of hard driving to which the toughest of owners will subject their trucks. After these tests the Ram still returned 15 MPG while competitors were in single digits with one truck at 10 MPG.
2014 Ram 1500 Amenities include…
· Two touch screen options are available; 5 inches or 8.4 inches and the system and interface does a great job of controlling simple and complex tasks.
· Keyless entry and start.
· Adjustable pedals.
· Bluetooth and voice recognition.
· Smartphone app connectivity, and even a WiFi mobile hotspot.
· Ample legroom in both front and back.
· Laramie edition comes with wood grain trim and leather upholstery.
We’re proud to carry the Motor Trend Truck of the Year, especially when you note that the award has never, in it’s 34-year history, been given to the same truck two years in a row—until now!
