Ram trucks earned top honors at the annual Texas Truck Rodeo, hosted by the Texas Automotive Writers Association (TAWA). Collectively, these brands secured the most awards of any manufacturer at the event.
"Ram trucks brought their A-game again this year, winning several consecutive awards, including the Full-size Pickup Truck of Texas, and scoring the highest for overall personal appeal, which is significant because Texas is the truck capital of the US," said Teia Collier, TAWA president. "We also enjoyed the lineup from the Jeep brand, with several vehicles that were the stars of their categories offering incredible performance, craftsmanship and capability."
Ram truck enthusiasts don't have to live in Texas to appreciate the Ram truck "A" game. Truck lovers across Long Island; from Rocky Point to Sound Beach; Ronkonkoma to Blue Point know first hand why Ram is the ultimate benchmark.
Members cast their votes after a full day of on- and off-road vehicle evaluations, including 218 drives on the event route. Consideration is given to everything from exterior/interior styling and off-road capability to the entrant's overall utility, value and performance.
Founded in 1987, the Texas Auto Writers Association has grown to become one of the most recognized and reputable automotive media organizations in the industry. TAWA's mission is to promote quality and accuracy in automotive content creation and to disseminate information about the automotive industry through news-related print, online and broadcast media.
