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. | |
2021 Nissan Titan Reviews SummaryThe full-size pickup truck market is extremely competitive. There are brand loyalists left and right who will swear up and down that they won’t buy a Nissan truck. But there’s plenty of reason to give the Titan a test drive. Note that while the Titan will continue in the United States, this is the last year before it will be discontinued in Canada at the end of the 2021 model year. At that point, Nissan's truck customers will be pointed toward the new mid-size Frontier. | |
