Vaughan: Driving a pickup is far from a hardship with the luxurious interior, comfortable ride and smooth power of the Ram 1500. This most modern of pickups, with its eight-speed automatic and powerful six- and eight-cylinder engines is giving Chevy and Ford fits. Design counts and the aggressive looks of the restyled Ram make it distinctive in this popular and profitable segment. Dodge claims the best fuel economy amongst its rivals and does it without turbocharging. Let's see if the Blue Oval and GM can top this.
