Several Ram and Dodge vehicles have been honored at the 2024 Kelley Blue Book Consumer Choice Awards.
The gas powered 2025 Ram 1500 and all-electric REV trucks were recognized as the “Best Overall Truck Brand”.
Dodge’s iconic muscle cars were also acknowledged for retro-modern aesthetics and named recipients for the “Best Car Styling Brand.”
These awards mark a six-year winning streak for the Dodge brand and solidifies their status as design leaders in the industry.
Ram
The traditional V8 has been replaced by the technologically advanced 3.0-liter Hurricane engine. It produces 420 hp and 469 Ib-ft of torque.
Its smaller engine and twin-turbochargers makes the Ram 1500 a fuel efficient car for summer road trips and vacations.
The impressive mileage means spending less on gas and saving money for more summer adventures. RAM’s 1500 REV comes with standard all–wheel drive and two battery choices.
A base 168 kWh pack delivers an electrified range of 350 miles. An optional 229 kWh battery unit increases the all-electric distance to 500 miles.
Front seats designed to offer optimal lumbar support reduce muscle strains and fatigue on long drives. Relaxing massage functions with a cutting-edge ventilation system provides air circulation for sweaty back and legs.
A new 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 HD display delivers a superior visibility of vital data on the brightest sunny days, defying sun glare. Engineers have added a front passenger 10.25-inch screen for locating points of interest like gas stations and restaurants which allows the driver to focus on the road.
The alternate screen also provides entertainment options via an HDMI plug and connects the screen to a mobile device. It allows the front occupant to access movies, audiobooks and games without the driver’s input on the main infotainment system.
Dodge’s 2025 Ram 1500 is equipped with more than 100 available active and passive safety features. The Active Drive Assist uses adaptive cruise control and lane centering to maintain a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead.
The tech assistant system lends a hand with lane centering and keeps the truck on course when summer heat brings tiredness and distractions. Hands-Free Driving Assist is another new feature and allows the driver to take hands off the wheel on designated highways, maintaining a safe distance from vehicles in front.
Dodge
Dodge Charger Daytona is the first and only electric muscle car. It is available in two trim levels: R/T and Scat Pack R/T. The R/T version includes standard 18-inch wheels and four drive modes as well as Eco Driving, which prioritizes fuel economy for long distance travels.
Dodge’s entry-level Daytona Charger produces 456 hp and 404 lb-ft of torque. It covers a distance of 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and a quarter-mile in 13.1 seconds.
Scat Pack`s launch control allows it to attain a maximum acceleration of 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and reach a quarter-mile in 11.5 seconds. The R/T has an EPA-estimated range of 317 miles on a single charge and allows summertime fun seekers to reach their destinations without constant pit stops.
Scat Pack’s powerful engine and sporty handling prioritizes a thrilling driving experience with a respectable range of 260 miles.
Dodge offers two new free-floating digital instrument clusters for the Daytona Charger. The R/T gets a crisp 10.25-inch unit and Scat Pack is fitted with a larger 16-inch display. Both interfaces have Classic, Focused, Custom and Navigation configurations.
A Custom layout offers the best flexibility and allows drivers to customize information displayed such as tire pressure, out-of-car temperatures and trailer brake information.
The Navigation layout reduces the stress of following too many directions and simplifies the driving experience of unfamiliar destinations and new areas.
SRT
The SRT lineup includes the Dodge Charger SRT Redeye and Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat.
Redeye is regarded as the most powerful sedan in the world. Its supercharged 6.2-liter engine cranks out 797 hp and 707 Ib-ft of torque.
A combination of raw power and performance -oriented engineering allows the vehicle to reach a 0-60 mph time in 3 seconds and quarter-mile in 10.60 seconds. An unparalleled speed of 203 miles per hour makes it the fastest production sedan on the market.
Dodge Durango Hellcat pumps out a best-in-class 710 hp and 645 Ib-ft of torque. The exhilarating acceleration of 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds makes it one of the fastest vehicles in the SUV segment.
