Car/Truck of the year means is has poor sales and it needs a boost.

This is Motor Trend magazine , getting COTY simply means that Chrysler spent the most on advertising this year and the Chrysler execs got to choose which of their products would win.
Chrysler in the last decade is known mainly for interiors that fall apart because the plastics are TOO CHEAP (although they start out pretty) and INCREDIBLY UNRELIABLE transmissions in their RWD cars and trucks.
After viewing the video I would buy a RAM if the price were right with the V6/8spd auto combo ... I still don’t trust Dodge tranny’s but if they’re putting the same one behind the 5.7 Hemi even if it’s junk it’ll last a long time behind the V6... maybe they actually listened to all the service complaints and built one that’s really “Ram Tough” for a change.
