The 10 Best 2022 Vehicles According to Car and Driver Some new faces have pushed some old ones out of the way for the 40th edition of these awards. Here are the venerable mag’s preferred rides for the coming year

Ram 1500

For several years now, the Ram 1500 has set the standard for delivering a high-end, refined and super-comfortable drive that contrasts with but complements the truck’s workhorse capabilities. No more jarring rides in drab, no-charm interiors, in other words.

In 2022, Ram’s pickup continues to lead the field even as an arms race rages on, particularly between the U.S. Big Three’s entrants.

What C&D liked:

- In some iterations, the Ram 1500 delivers better fuel economy than the Kia Telluride
- Good selection on engines, each one of them very capable
- A wide front bench allows for three occupants taking position there
- Quiet cabin
- Good steering
- Huge back row of seating
- Its refinement doesn’t prevent it from doing all the pickupy things very well
