2020 RAM 1500 Reviews SummaryA full redesign for the 2019 model year left a significant bit of tech on the table for the increasingly popular Ram 1500 pickup truck: the EcoDiesel 3.0-litre engine. Ram was once the only option for a half-ton diesel pickup, but emissions certification problems resulted in Ram pulling the diesel engine a few years ago. The engineers at Ram have been hard at work updating it ever since. Although the EcoDiesel wasn’t ready for 2019, it’s now available for any 2020 Ram 1500 trim, so it seems it was well worth the wait. With 80% new parts, the EcoDiesel's improvements to power, efficiency, and delivery all mean that Ram is fighting hard to change minds about North America’s least-loved engine type. | |
2020 Ford Ranger Reviews SummaryMidsize pickup trucks are not designed for the worksite. They lack the size or capability for the rigours of commercial use. These smaller trucks are lifestyle vehicles, designed for hauling bikes and kayaks. They are more at home at the campsite than the worksite. The 2020 Ford Ranger has decent fuel efficiency for a pickup truck, and the optional infotainment system is terrific. It also has the towing and hauling abilities for a boat trailer or a truckload of home improvement gear. But where does the 2020 Ford Ranger stack up against other midsize pickups? Read on to find out. | |
