Appears it fell off the list for 2020.  Won't be eligible again until the next major refresh or redesign.

Apparently I missed it, but I guess C&D stopped doing separate lists for cars and trucks/SUVs?

No planet-saving EV? HOW DARE THEY!

Man I want a Blackwing so badly

Very impressive that a V6 4WD Ram matches the EPA fuel economy of a Kia Telluride.  I'd love a Ram pickup as my daily driver but full size pickups are just not conducive for cramped urban parking garages (which is where I park everyday for work).

I think the Telluride engine is a decade or two old... In typical Korean fashion they don't pay much attention to things you don't see or feel

The Ram Pentastar V6 dates back 13 years, so...

But looking at the specs it's no surprise - both w/8sp ATs, weight within 100 lbs of each other.

Car mag reviews, which usually place the Telluride first in a multi car comparison of 3 row SUVS, like the Telluride engine and transmission.  Very smooth, doesn't hesitate to downshift, etc.

The original Lambda V6 debuted in '05.  The Lambda II with GDI in 2010.  The Pallisade/Telluride use an Atkinson cycle version that debuted in 2018 with the Pallisade.
