A car can be like the third wheel in a relationship. When does the new girlfriend get to drive it? Would you rather spend your Sunday cruising the highways or snuggling with the boyfriend? The Bermuda love triangle that sits between two lovers and one car has wrecked more than a few marriages. According to a new survey from AutoTrader, that's...
We're rounding the corner on our time with the 2013 Ram 1500. And while we prep our final posts--a towing exercise or two, some comparisons with a well-known competitor or two--we're taking a look back at what we wrote about the Ram earlier this year. Over the past 30 days, our take on the Ram 1500 hasn't budged much. That's a point or three in...

The federal government alleges that the answers to both questions are yes; but in a rare, public pushback to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Chrysler Group...
Full-size pickup trucks haven't been left behind in the rush to fuel efficiency. The Ram 1500 now trumps them all, at least on V-6 models, with a new combination that's rated by the EPA with the best gas mileage of any big truck you can buy today. That's in addition to the Ram 1500's layers of refinement and sophistication, which also get a boost...
