Cars.com has named the Ram 1500 its 2020 Luxury Car of the Year.

This is the first time a truck has won the Luxury Car of the Year award from Cars.com.
"This award validates Ram's unrelenting efforts to deliver more comfort, refinement and value to our customers," said Reid Bigland, Head of Ram Brand. "The Ram 1500 Longhorn and Limited are examples of how we deliver the most luxurious pickups in the industry. It is immensely satisfying to have Cars.com recognize the Ram 1500 as Luxury Car of the Year." Any model vehicle, regardless of when it was introduced or last updated, is eligible for the award. "The 2020 Ram 1500 Longhorn and Limited trims stand out from the crowd thanks to their stunning interiors with premium wood, leather, metal and chrome finishes, an awe-inspiring multimedia system and outstanding ride quality," said Jenni Newman, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com. "The Ram 1500's top trim levels are stunning and well deserving of Cars.com's Luxury Vehicle of the Year award." For 2020, an all-new V-6 EcoDiesel joins the Ram 1500 lineup and brings with it best-in-class diesel torque with 480 lb.-ft. and diesel towing capability of 12,560 pounds. The 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel also leads all trucks in fuel range. Paired with an available 33-gallon fuel tank, Ram's driving range exceeds 1,000 miles. The 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is available in all models and configurations, including a first-time offering in the Ram Rebel. Ram's class-leading ride and handling is accomplished via a segment-exclusive link-coil rear suspension system with optional Active-level four-corner air suspension. As a segment disrupter, the Ram 1500's Uconnect 4C with a massive 12-inch touchscreen leads the pickup world in technology, featuring split-screen capability, 360-degree camera views and exclusive content from SiriusXM with Personalized Stations Powered by Pandora, which delivers ad-free personalization not found on other entertainment services. The Ram 1500 is also the truck industry's cargo-management and storage leader. The Ram 1500 multifunction tailgate feature is unique among all pickups and offers customers cargo-access flexibility without compromise. The 2020 Ram 1500 also features twice the interior storage capacity versus the competition. Among the Ram 1500's other innovative storage solutions are the RamBox cargo management system.

The Ram 1500 features more than 100 active safety and security systems, including adaptive cruise control, Forward Collision Warning, Blind-spot Monitoring and Ready Alert Braking. Ram 1500 Longhorn The Ram 1500 Longhorn is filled with more craftsman-like details, including real wood surfaces and 100 percent full-grain leather seats, than any other truck in the segment. Longhorn models feature design cues from traditionally handcrafted, time-tested wares, such as the antique pocket watch, hand-tooled leather cowboy boots or a horseman's saddle. Real barnwood accents, such as wood tandem doors on the center console, are individually applied to "Longhorn" branding burned on the wood-trimmed upper glove box door and segment-exclusive hand-wrapped, 100 percent full-grain leather dashboard. Embossed alligator skin pattern leather on the center console, instrument panel, seats and door panel inserts, brushed-nickel metal badge and satin chrome accents set Longhorn apart from the rest of the Ram lineup. Ram 1500 Limited The Ram 1500 Limited is a no-compromise truck that sets the standard for interior comfort and refinement. The Ram 1500 Limited features unique technology, materials and storage solutions to give customers a premium experience while staying true to the hardworking nature of the Ram 1500.

North America's largest ebike brand expands its flagship ebike with new RadRover Step-Thru and evolves lineup with a suite of model upgrades SEATTLE, Jan. 3, 2020 /HalcyonTV/ -- Rad Power® Bikes is marking the latest evolution of its flagship ebike with the all-new RadRover® Step-Thru -- a low-step electric fat bike that makes it easier than ever to go anywhere and do anything.
"The RadRover launched our business in 2015 and gave a jolt to the ebike revolution by proving that electric bikes can be durable, powerful, affordable and built for everyday adventure. Five years later, we're reinforcing our commitment to ebike accessibility and utility with the RadRover Step-Thru," Mike Radenbaugh, Rad Power Bikes' founder and CEO, said. "This beast of a bike combines the rugged capabilities of our flagship high-step model with a new frame style that fits the needs of more riders." The RadRover Step-Thru's approachable design and lower standover height makes it easier to get on and get going, yet still retains the strength, stability, and versatility of its high-step counterpart. Like its predecessor, the RadRover Step-Thru can conquer all types of terrain thanks to its puncture-resistant 26" x 4" fat tires, powerful geared hub motor (750W in U.S. and 500W in Canada), and long-range 48V 14 Ah Lithium-Ion battery. In addition to this new model, the consumer-direct ebike brand also announced that the new year will bring the latest iterations of several ebikes in the Rad lineup, including the RadRover® 5, RadMini 4, RadMini Step-Thru 2, RadCity® 4, and RadCity® Step-Thru 3. Each of these new models received upgrades that offer more value at no added cost, including fenders now coming standard on the RadRover and RadMini models, along with custom mounting points for future security-focused accessories on the RadCity models. The RadCity 4 has also been updated to a single 18.5" frame size. Other improvements consist of new halo headlights with improved side visibility, a streamlined throttle design, and a refreshed look across the entire lineup. Rad Power Bikes is now accepting pre-orders on its new models in the US and Canada.
