This July 4th, the Red Bull RedBud National will be holding the seventh round of Lucas Oil Motorcross Championship and Ram Trucks will be the one welcome fans to the races.

“There’s just something about Ram Trucks and Pro Motocross that seem to go hand-in-hand,” Carey Hart, RCH co-owner said.  “The fans at RedBud are second to none and its cool for Ram Trucks to have such a great presence in their own backyard.  We’re excited to show off the Rebel and give race fans at RedBud a firsthand look at the best truck on the market.”

Ram is bringing the new 2015 Ram 1500 Rebel to show off to race fans at the event.  People will be given the chance to gaze upon its mighty visage from 7am and 5pm and receive a free gift for stopping by.  Fingers crossed that the gift is a 1500 Rebel, but that might be dreaming too big.

Ram ProMaster Best Retained Value - RamDealerNY - Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge

Edmunds.com has put out their winners of the 2015 Best Retained Value Award and three vehicles from Fiat-Chrysler made the list.  The winners are the 2015 Jeep Wrangler, the 2015 Dodge Challenger, and the 2015 Ram ProMaster.

The list is put together by Edmunds.com by examining new car models that will have the highest projected residual value after five years based on the average True Market Value price when they are sold as new.  From there the models are broken down into body type segments as well as the size of the model and the pricing.

“A vehicle is expected to hold its value well when it is deemed likely to be desireable to a future buyer,” Jessica Caldwell, Director of Industry Analysis for Edmunds.com.  “The Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Challenger, and Ram ProMaster each has a lot of appeal in the marketplace both new and used, so it’s no surprise that they have earned this meaningful accolade.”

The Wrangler won in the Midsize Traditional SUV category, the Challenger in the Entry Sports Car category, and the RamProMaster in the Large Commercial Van category.

2015 Ram 1500 Texas Ranger Concept truck

I love to talk about the Texas Ranger edition of the Ram truck only because it gives me a reason to pull out the incredibly obvious Walker Texas Ranger pictures.  You’d think that’d get old, but you’d think wrong.

The Texas Ranger Ram is going on display for the public to see at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame for the weekend of June 19th for the annual Texas Ranger Reunion.  The truck itself was made specially to recognize and honor the Texas Rangers.

Ram trucks, through a partnership between the FCA Foundation, have helped to promote the heritage of the Texas Rangers.  In 2014 at the State Fair of Texas, Ram President and CEO Bob Hegbloom presented the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum a check for $100,000.

The Texas Ranger Ram truck was first shown as a concept at the 2015 Dallas Auto Show.  It sported numerous features meant to highlight and honor the Texas Rangers.  One such feature is the silver-star Texas Ranger badge.

While the Texas Ranger truck is still only a concept, there is a possibility for a production run.

The floods in Texas have hit the communities hard and Response Team of America is heading there to help out with help from Ram.

The First Response Team of America is a non-profit organization that heads into areas suffering from disasters to provide relief.  This group depends entirely on donations to work and Ram has provided the group with both vehicles and money to help it give aid to those in need.

They were not alone in helping the area of Wimberly affected by the flood.  They were supported in the area also by Ram Nation, a group of Ram truck owners in the area as well as a local dealership that helped with trucks and volunteers.

They provided help to Fran Barrington’s house that was washed away.  The First Response Team and the volunteers were able to salvage portions of Fran’s collectibles, including family photos.  Through their hard work, while they weren’t able to save everything, they did make one homeowners experience with loss easier to handle.
