MotorTrend Truck of the Year Announced
Just last week I spoke we learned that the 2025 MotorTrend Car of the Year is the Mercedes Benz E Class. Last month it was announced that the MotorTrend SUV of the year winner is the Lincoln Nautilus.
Every year, MotorTrend selects one new 2025 car, truck, and SUV to receive the prestigious title of the absolute best in each of the categories.
MotorTrend, the well-respected and the world-renowned automotive authority reveals all three winners during the holiday season.
MotorTrend 2025 Truck of the Year
Once again, I invited MotorTrend’s Vice President of Content and Head of Editorial, Ed Loh back to the show to get the scoop on their truck of the year.
Ed revealed that the MotorTrend 2025 Truck of the year is the Dodge Ram 1500. It’s a prior winner, and it’s won a few times in the past.
Ed said, “Specifically what we liked about the Ram is they styling. It’s a really good-looking truck I think everyone will agree. It’s a gorgeous truck inside and out, but the big news is that Ram got rid of the Hemi V8 last year, there was a lot of consternation over that, but what they replaced that engine with, is called a ‘Hurricane Straight 6 Turbo’ family of engines and they’re great. Very powerful, they’re actually lighter than the V8 they replaced, and they have this tremendous fuel economy. It’s got lots of tork, lots of power, and a lot of technology inside it as well.”
