Green Truck of the Year

Green technology has become a mainstay in vehicles for several decades now, but some brands may not include a pickup truck on the list of eco-friendly vehicles. The sales team at Norristown Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is proud to announce the Ram 1500 for sale won the Green Truck of the Year™ award for a second consecutive year from the Green Car Journal, because the truck features outstanding performance and reduces emissions. The Green Car Journal has been honoring the automotive leaders since 1992 with its annual Green Car Awards™ for advances in hybrid technologies. The publication selects the top environmentally friendly cars, trucks, and SUV models based on their innovative technology used to curb emissions while showcasing exceptional abilities. We welcome you to visit us at Norristown CDJR to learn more about all the characteristics of the award-winning Ram 1500 for sale.

The new Ram 1500 for sale topped the Chevrolet Colorado, the Chevrolet Silverado, the Ford F-150, and the Ford Ranger because of its exceptional environmentally-friendly performance, drivability, sophisticated capabilities, interior comforts, and safety, according to the Green Car Journal. The robust 3.0L Ram 1500 EcoDiesel V6 engine offers high efficiency that decreases fuel use and carbon emissions while generating 260 horsepower and 480 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine also provides impressive fuel mileage with an EPA-estimated 22 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway.

The Green Car Journal also praised the Ram 1500 for sale for having two additional available hybrid engines — the 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine and the Herculean 5.7L HEMI® V8 motor — and each performs magnificently with the dynamic eTorque mild hybrid system. This system enhances performance, drivability, efficiency, and payload and towing capabilities by replacing the traditional alternator on the powertrain with a 48-volt battery-powered belt-driven motor generator. The Ram 1500 towing capacity continues to dominate with the 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine that generates a maximum rating of 12,560 lbs. while achieving a best-in-class ranking for available 4x4 fuel economy with an EPA-estimated 17 MPG in the city and 22 MPG on the highway.
