The Pickup Truck of the Year award was determined after the magazine analyzed four 2016 entries. Each entrant is chosen because it is either all-new or a significantly revised pickup truck for the 2016 model year. Along with the Ram 1500 Rebel, other contestants included the Chevy Colorado Z71, the Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X, and Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road.

After the entrants are determined, Four Wheeler’s judging staff puts the trucks through their paces, evaluating them on a variety of terrains and conditions. The vehicles are judged on a range of criteria, including off-road performance and survivability, and interior features. The Rebel came out on top during this testing thanks to its new features, which included 17-inch wheels, blacked-out trim, an air suspension, Bilstein shocks, and 33-inch Toyo Open Country A/T tires.

“If there’s one word to describe the Ram 1500 Rebel, it’s balanced,” says Four Wheeler Editor Christian Hazel. “It has admirable towing and payload capacity, good on-road handling, brisk acceleration and strong braking, a comfortable interior with convenient storage and amenities, and huge off-road capability in all terrains. No matter what Four Wheeler threw at the Ram 1500 Rebel, it just flat-out worked with no drama, no excuses, and no compromises.”

So, the next time you want a truck that doesn’t compromise, look no further than the 2016 Ram 1500 Rebel.
