In the eyes of Car and Driver, the Ram 1500 truck does one thing better than any other truck out there: it manages to do and be a lot of things without compromising too much in any one department. A fussy way of saying that it’s good at being very luxurious, very rugged, very versatile and very comfortable – all at once. As C&D puts it, this is “the full-size truck that comes closest to driving like a car”.

What C&D liked:

 - Very civilized ride on the pavement
 - May be even better at moving people than stuff
 - Equally adept at pleasing city and country mice
 - Upper trims provide other-worldly levels of luxury and refinement, if that’s your thing
 - The optional RamBoxes
 - Excellent 8-speed automatic transmission
 - Little roll in curves
