Atlanta, GA– A pickup truck has rolled away with the top honors at the 2018 GAAMA Family Car Challenge.
The 2019 Ram 1500 was selected as the Best Overall winner after a day of driving and comparison by automotive journalists. They chose from a range of vehicles including sedans, crossovers, wagons, minivans, and full-size SUVs and trucks.
“Our winners this year provide an example of how consumers are moving from sedans to crossovers, minivans, wagons and even into full-size trucks – all viable choices considering how well vehicles are equipped these days for families,” said Daryl Killian, GAAMA president and host of The AutoNsider on News & Talk 1380 WAOK, an Entercom Radio Station.
