Every year, Cars.com’s Editorial team drives dozens of new cars and trucks to figure out what the best options are across a broad swath of classes and lifestyles. When the calendar turns over, we give a hard look at which among those cars and trucks best succeeded in what it set out to do; that turns into our Best Of awards.
If you’re not familiar with these vehicles, start with our awards pages above that detail each of our categories — not only will you find blurbs on why we picked our winners, but you’ll also see the full field of nominees and what they have to offer.

If this is a market you’re in right now, the new Ram is well worth a look.
