2014 Ram 1500 is Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year

With 10 Dodge Ram dealerships in the Larry H. Miller dealership family, it’s no surprise that the news of the 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 being named Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year, made a splash in our company.

Especially when you note that the Motor Trend Truck of the Year award has never, in it’s 34-year history, been given to the same truck two years in a row—until now!

The General Manager of Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Peoria, Jonathan Anderson, met with an engineer from the Ram Trucks team to learn even more about this amazing truck and the diesel engine that makes it so special.
