2020 RAM 2500 Reviews SummaryHeavy-duty pickup trucks are all about headroom. It's packing a half-ton of timber in the bed without feeling a thing in the cab, or pulling 3,500 kilos and knowing there's more than double that in reserve. While it's acceptable to max out a light-duty truck on occasion, doing so puts excessive stress on the powertrain, brakes, and tires. Full-size trucks like the 2020 Ram 2500 are flashier and monstrous in size, but their posture is serious. If your life requires a truck like this, then I’d recommend you indulge in the Ram’s top-grade luxury, technology, and capability. | |
2021 Honda Ridgeline Reviews SummaryTrucks dominate Canadian sales charts in terms of the best-selling models, accounting for a volume of total new vehicle sales hovering around 20%. Nevertheless, this is a segment in which many of the major car companies compete, including Honda. Now, thanks to styling, packaging, and functionality changes, the model year 2021 Honda Ridgeline pickup is poised to attract even more truck buyers. In part, that’s because it now actually looks like a truck. | |
