All-new 2019 Ram 1500 Wins Gold Hitch Award From The Fast Lane Truck (TFLtruck)

The Fast Lane Truck (TFLtruck) has awarded the all-new 2019 #ram 1500 with a Gold Hitch award in the light-duty segment. The 5.7-liter HEMI®-powered #ram1500 with eTorque mild hybrid technology bested competitors for outstanding pulling power, braking, fuel economy, comfort and handling under extreme towing conditions.

"The 2019 #ram1500 and its 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 eTorque system came out on top when compared to the competition on TFLtruck's ‘Ike Gauntlet’ — world's toughest towing test,” said Andre Smirnov, managing editor at TFLtruck.com. “All trucks pulled 9,100 pounds, and while the data we collected during our real-world testing demonstrated how close the competition really is, the new #ram1500 stood out with available air suspension and technology features that made hooking up a trailer easier and the trailering experience more relaxed."

To rate the trucks, TFLtruck editors took to the notorious Eisenhower Pass “Ike Gauntlet” located outside Denver with a loaded trailer. The grueling climb reaches elevations in excess of 11,000 feet with increasing grade near the peak.
 
“The all-new 2019 #ram1500 with eTorque mild hybrid system is the benchmark for durability and efficiency with a high level of technology and luxury not expected in #pickup #truck segments,” said Reid Bigland, Head of #ram Brand. “The TFLtruck Gold Hitch award is expert recognition and derived from a real-world driving experience that our customers will appreciate when shopping for a new #pickup.”

The “Ike Gauntlet” drive is not the sole criteria to determine the winner. The #ram1500 also rated highly on a number of additional features. Judges noted the Ram’s exclusive air suspension, ride and handling quality, interior superiority and new technology. After all votes were counted, the 2019 #ram1500 took the top spot.

Gold Hitch Award-eligible trucks include 2019 model-year pickups (or trucks from previous model years that have not significantly changed for 2019). Trucks are only eligible for the award if they were tested before March 1, 2019.
