Anyone hot rodding a long-bed pickup was considered a “farmer,” not that being a farmer is a bad thing. It was a derogatory slam on long-beds. And speaking of slam, no …

The RAM 1500 has proved to be a formidable pickup truck even before it became its own brand for the 2012 model year. Competitively priced, high-performing, and functional, it’s easy to see why buyers continue to choose RAM trucks. But if you’re in the market for a used pickup truck, it’s essential to understand that …
When you think of the “best” or “most-popular” trucks, the brands Chevrolet and Ford may come to mind first. But in the last few years, RAM has reemerged as more than just a contender. When it comes to which truck has been named the best 2020 truck on the market, it may surprise you to …
The Ram 1500 pickup has distinguished itself in recent years from a middle-of-the-road, acceptable pickup to a top contender in its class as one of Car and Driver’s 10 Best for two years running.
