The field was narrowed to four finalists before voting, and when the entire RMAP membership’s votes were tallied, the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX was declared the winner. RMAP2021 marks the 15th annual Rocky Mountain Vehicle of the Year awards. The goal is to recognize vehicles that are all-new or significantly revised for the 2021 model year.  In order to be eligible for the award, vehicles must be in the Rocky Mountain regional press fleet and/or available for RMAP members to test at their events.RMAP membership consists of automotive journalists from Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico, Kansas, and Nebraska.  RMAP members reach millions of potential car, SUV, and truck buyers via the internet, in print, on TV, or via radio. RMAP journalists regularly receive manufacturer press fleet vehicles for review and testing. They also interact with automaker's executives, engineers, designers, and other representatives to learn all the details about the latest vehicles. Ultimately, RMAP members serve to help the buying public make educated choices regarding purchasing or leasing vehicles.2021 Ram 1500 TRXThe new 2021 Ram 1500 TRX is the apex predator of the truck world and cements Ram Truck as North America’s off-road truck leader.
