Capable 2020 Ram 2500 & 3500 Trucks Earn 7 Automotive Awards

Dutchess Chrysler Jeep Dodge is so proud of the numerous accolades that the 2020 Ram 2500 and 3500 models have received. For starters, it’s the 2020 Motor Trend Truck of the Year because it showed more of these qualities than the competition:

• Advancement in design
• Engineering excellence
• Performance of intended function
• Safety
• Efficiency
• Value

It was a crowded field this year, with the other finalists also being popular in the Poughkeepsie NY area including the 2020 Ford Ranger, 2020 Chevrolet Silverado (1500 & 2500HD models) and the 2020 GMC Sierra (1500 & 3500HD models). This marks the 2nd year in a row that a Ram truck has won Motor Trend’s most prestigious honor.

Choice of the Customer

There’s a saying in retail: the customer is always right. And that certainly appears to be the case with winning the IHS Automotive Loyalty Award in the pickup category based on the number of households who own a new vehicle returns to the market to buy or lease another of the same model, same make or same manufacturer.

Customers also enjoy getting the most for their money and the 2020 Ram 2500 & 3500 models at our dealership serving Milton NY do just that. In fact, Kelley Blue Book gave these Rams the Best Resale Value Award in the Heavy Duty Pickup Truck category because of its combination of comfort, luxury & onboard tech.

Choice of the Critics

The customers at our dealership serving Beacon NY aren’t the only ones who can see how great the 2020 Ram 2500 and 2020 Ram 3500 are. For starters, Car and Driver gave the Editors' Choice Award of Best Heavy-Duty Pickup because of its best-in-class interior, smooth ride quality and powerful capability.

The Ram 2500 & 3500 also won the Best Pickup Truck recognition as part of MotorWeek Drivers’ Choice Award for 2020 due to these aspects of the trucks:

• The current purchasing trends in the market
• Comforts & other innovations onboard
• Reliability in any driving situation
• The up to 1,000 lb/ft of torque offered by the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine

Award-Winning Capability

Edmunds also named the 2020 Ram 2500 as their Top Rated Heavy-Duty Truck because of features like the coil-spring suspension and 410-hp 6.4L HEMI V8 & up-to-400-hp 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine choices. It beat out these popular models in Upstate New York:

• 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Last but not least, the 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon received the Best Heavy Duty Off-Road truck of the year honor as part of the Fast Lane Truck (TFLtruck) Gold Winch Awards. This model was the choice of both drivers & critics alike over the 2020 Ford F-250 Tremor & 2020 GMC Sierra HD AT4 because of:

• Off-road capability & equipment
• Suspension flex
• The onboard winch
