Miranda Lambert Pens New Song for Ram Trucks

Miranda Lambert - Roots and Wings - RamDealerNYC

Country music and truck culture have always gone together. It is impossible not to visualize each country singer parked out in some kind of truck with a guitar. So when it comes time to advertise, truck makers tend to aim to pick up a country singer. In the case of Ram, they’ve teamed up with Miranda Lambert for a new ad campaign.

Lambert has put together a new song for the partnership. It is titled “Roots and Wings” and will be part of a new upcoming ad series with Ram trucks.

Both the video and the song capture an outdoors feeling. The imagery used is that of country life, with sprawling forests of pine trees and singing on the porch. The Ram truck makes numerous appearances as well as being referenced in the song as part of Sunday rides with her dad. It is also obvious that the wings is a reference to the iconic Ram logo with the wings.

Miranda Lambert commented on writing the song, “I am very inspired by what the Ram brand stands for – being who you are, working hard, staying true to your roots. I wanted to write a song that would represent all of those things. ‘Roots and Wings’ is personal to me about where I come from and where I am going. The guys at Ram really made the lyrics come to life with the imagery, and I hope it speaks to people the way it does to me.”

Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is Esquire’s Truck of the Year!

Ram 1500 Ext 01 - RamDealerNy

The Ram 1500 is leading the charge to being one of the biggest names in trucks this year.  It has already garnered a lot of praise from the critics and numerous awards including being the Truck of Texas.  Now the trophy shelf is getting a little bigger as Esquire magazine has named the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel their Truck of the Year.

In order to come to the conclusion about the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, Esquires editors made their way through all the possible truck models available in the US market.  They examined each on such traits as value, efficiency, and functionality.  Considering that the 1500 EcoDiesel has the best-in-class fuel economy, it doesn’t seem like it was a hard choice to make.

“This is where the truck tide turns,” reads Esquire magazine’s article.  “a full-sized American pickup with a just-big-enough diesel V6- the only one of its kind.  You get the fuel economy of a small engine, the pull power of a larger one, and the grumble of a working-class diesel.”

“Recognition from Esquire magazine is proof that pickups have found their way into a variety of lifestyles,” said Bob Hegbloom, Ram’s President and CEO.  “In such a competitive market, we are thrilled to earn a ‘Truck of the Year’ from Esquire.  The Ram 1500 delivers with a winning combination of best-in-class fuel economy and capability and going forward, Ram will continue to set the pace with the best trucks in their segments.”

2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel: Autos.ca Review

ram1500_exterior_01

James Bergeron, writing for Autos.ca, was given the chance to give the new 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel a spin over the course of 4 days.

On the first day, he examined the features of the tester model that he was given.  The overall value for the equipment that he was given came out to almost $70,000!  That includes navigation, rear backup camera, the RAMBOX cargo system, and a ton more things.

Day two consisted of him loading up the 1500.  He notes that the Rambox was able to comfortable store his laptop bag, extra clothes, and even another tool bag.  His major focus on the second day evaluation is to the interior of the 1500.  The front seats, while meant for larger people, were still comfortable thanks to the large amount of features, such as adjustable seats and pedals.  A normal problem with trucks is the lack of room and comfort for anyone riding in the backseat.  The 1500 does not have this issue, offering a large enough area for people to have a happy ride or to store larger things.  For the person with enough stuff to lug around, the flat floor allows for additional storage.

The third day is putting the towing and performance of the 1500 EcoDiesel through the paces.  “The answer to the question everyone has been asking – how does the EcoDiesel tow?  Well that answer is a resounding – “Very well, thank you very much.”

On the last day, the 1500 EcoDiesel hadn’t even gone through an entire tank of gas.  It is with this in mind that the writer sees the largest potential for truck lovers to have interest in the EcoDiesel.  With high marks for fuel economy and for performance, the 1500 EcoDiesel comes highly recommended.

Ram Diesel Engine Has High Demand

ecodiesel_engine

The move to diesel has been a popular one for Chrysler.  The reason for adding on a diesel engine option was largely due to the demand from consumers.  The addition seems to be paying off for Ram trucks as the demand seems to justify increasing the supply.

Chrysler has sent word to its supplier in Italy to send them more of the V-6 EcoDiesel engines.  It seems that people are not just asking for Ram to provide a diesel option, they are actually buying them as well.  It is refreshing to see that the consumer is wanting something and then going out and buying it rather than patting the company on the back and saying “well, thanks for doing that, I’ll think about getting it now.”

The diesel engine in the Ram full-sized pickups offers better towing and fuel economy than a gas engine.  If you are interested in learning more about the EcoDiesel engine, contact us at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge.  View our new and used line-up on our website.  Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to see more truck news and our special monthly offers.

Ram Trucks Headlines May Sales Increase for Chrysler

ram1500_02

The month of May was very positive for Ram.  With help from Jeep, Ram was one of the biggest reasons for Chrysler execs to be driving into work with smiles on their faces.  Thanks to Ram sales, Chrysler as a whole posted one of their best May sales in years.

The full gain that Chrysler posted was a 17% increase thanks to Ram Trucks.  On its own, Ram sales were up by 19%.  That number is the truck-maker’s best May sales since 2005.  Heavy-duty truck sales were also up by 34% for the month.

“Our Jeep sport-utility vehicles and Ram pickups continued to do well in May as our dealers reported brisk May sales over five weekends and the Memorial Day holiday,” said Reid Bigland, Head of US Sales for Chrysler, in a statement.

2014 Ram 1500 Is an American Truck

ram1500_exterior_11

There are few things that are thought of as truly “American” as a truck.  Heavy Duty, giant, and powerful are just some ways of describing these behemoths.  American auto-makers have a rich history of producing some of the most capable and long-lasting trucks on the market.  With Memorial Day right around the corner, it is time to recognize which trucks are the “most American.”

Edmunds happened to do that this year.  They put together a list of the 8 ‘most American’ trucks.  In order to make the list took more than just being built by an American company.  Edmunds took into account where the components for each truck was produced.  Other things taken into account is where the research and development occurred as well as where the profits for the sale of the truck end up at.

Placing at the number 2 spot on their list is the 2014 Ram 1500.  The 1500 has a rich history of being an American truck and has been a favorite of truck buyers for years.  The 1500 is 66 percent American derived with the final assembly of the truck being in America and Mexico.  The engine is also made here in the states but the transmission is made both here and in Italy.
