All of the major light-duty, full-size trucks have been updated or redesigned in recent memory, so now is a great time to consider a pickup purchase. If you're looking for a diesel-powered pickup, you have only one choice: the Ram 1500 with its 3.0-liter, V6 EcoDiesel engine and the best EPA-estimated fuel economy in its class. The 2015 Ram 1500 has a lot more going for it than just diesel engine availability, though. It also has the top infotainment system of any truck, and one of the nicest interiors. Its only downsides are that the diesel engine can feel somewhat sluggish, and some connectivity features require a subscription. That's not enough to hold it back from receiving our Editors' Choice for full-size trucks.
