Denver, CO – The Rocky Mountain Automotive Press (RMAP) announced its members have named the 2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel as the Rocky Mountain Truck of the Year. RMAP membership consists of automotive journalists from Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, and Arizona. RMAP members reach millions of potential car and truck buyers via the internet, in print, on TV, or via radio. RMAP journalists regularly receive manufacturer press fleet vehicles for review and testing. They also interact with automaker’s executives, engineers, designers, and other representatives to learn all the details about the latest vehicles. Ultimately, RMAP members serve to help the buying public make educated choices regarding purchasing or leasing vehicles.
2015 marks the ninth annual Rocky Mountain Vehicle of the Year awards. The goal is to recognize vehicles that are all-new or significantly revised for the 2015 model year. In order to be eligible for the award, vehicles must be in the Rocky Mountain regional press fleet and available for RMAP members to test.
The RMAP vehicle nominating committee considered performance, fuel economy, value, and vehicle features to narrow down the field to three finalists in the Rocky Mountain Truck of the year.
The finalists for 2015 were the Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty, the GMC Canyon and the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. After voting by the entire RMAP membership was complete, the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel was the winner. RMAP congratulates Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and its Ram division for winning this prestigious award.
