U.S. News & World Report has selected the Ram 1500 as its “2012 Best Full-Size Pickup Truck for the Money” and the 2012 Jeep Wrangler as the “2012 Best Off-Road SUV for the Money.”
The selections were based on outstanding value and availability of features buyers want.
“The Ram Truck brand is meeting the needs and expectations of our customers with the best trucks in the market,” said Ram CEO Fred Diaz. “U.S. News & World Report’s 2012 Best Full-Size Pickup Truck for the Money award is a powerful, independent accolade, standing as an endorsement for the 2012 Ram 1500 and its value for the money.”
“We are delighted that Wrangler has captured this important award from U.S. News & World Report,” said Jeep CEO Mike Manley. “Jeep Wrangler has set seven consecutive monthly sales records. The new 2012 Wrangler offers consumers more value and appeal than ever before, with improved fuel efficiency and everyday driving dynamics, more power and even more legendary Jeep capability.”
The USN&WR awards cover 23 automotive categories, including cars, trucks, SUVs and minivans. Each category has a single winner. The awards combine scores from the U.S. News car rankings with five-year total cost of ownership and average price data, recognizing the vehicles in select segments that earned the highest marks for overall value and appeal.
“You don’t have to choose between a great vehicle and a great value,” said Jamie Page Deaton, Managing Editor of U.S. News Best Cars. “The award-winning vehicles are both easy to live with and easy to afford.”
The awards reflect the consensus opinion of industry experts and reviewers, along with safety and reliability ratings, and focus specifically on the needs of everyday car buyers.
