The Chrysler Pacifica Minivan and the Ram 1500 pickup truck have received Consumer Guide Automotive Best Buy awards for 2021. This will be the Pacifica’s 5th consecutive annual award in its segment, and the Ram 1500’s 13th in the large pickup truck category. This award is no small feat, having been awarded by testers who have driven all models in each segment. Let’s dive deeper into what makes these two American cars so special.
The Pacifica makes quite an impression on drivers even before getting in or driving the vehicle. Minivans are sometimes known for their less than hip styling, but the clean lines and sharp styling on this van make it look stylish enough to go cruising down Ventura Boulevard. For a style-loving family, you can’t do better than the Pacifica. However, this van’s appeal goes deeper than simple aesthetics. There’s a lot to love inside, for drivers as well as passengers. Drivers will appreciate the all-wheel drive capability and class-leading horsepower. Additionally, the smooth ride quality makes this van a joy to pilot on winding roads.
Passengers will also enjoy the loads of tech and comfort features. With some trim levels even including Bluetooth remotes, Blu-ray players, and wireless headphones, those in the back seats will always find something to enjoy. Finally, an available panoramic sunroof ensures that even when the electronics are off, passengers will be in a room with a view.
The Ram 1500 has its own host of features making it worth of 13 years of awards. It features a powerful V6 engine and impressive towing capabilities. With this in mind, owners can feel comfortable towing heavy cargo or carrying large objects in the bed. No matter what your needs are, the Ram 1500 has you covered.
Additionally, a smooth ride lends a luxury car quality to this powerful pickup truck. The luxury features don’t stop there, however. On the inside, upgraded trim and comfortable, supportive seats make the cabin a great place to spend time. For buyers focused on the intersection of luxury and functionality, there is no better truck than the Ram 1500.
