Pickup Trucks has decided to evaluate the fuel economy of heavy-duty pickups. As they note, fuel economy is not a top priority for some truck owners. The major talking points when someone is interested in learning about a HD pickup is more along the lines of wanting to know capability and towing. In doing these tests of fuel economy, PickUp Trucks discovered that the Ram 2500 diesel is a clear winner against the competition.
“As you might expect, the smallest diesel engine on the lightest truck did well on the uploaded fuel-economy drive.” The 2017 Ram 2500 was put up against the 2017 Nissan Titan XD and other trucks in its segment and managed to beat them out.

The two program names are Ram Augmented Reality Upfit Configurator and Q Pro. Both of these programs look to give Ram Commercial Trucks an edge in a crowded and growing market.
The Ram Augmented Reality Upfit Configurator is a new program that as introduced at the end of 2016. It is a computer-generated visual program that lets dealers and buyers have a virtual look around a truck and view their upgrades. The program originally was only offered for the ProMaster but it has now been expanded to cover the ProMaster City and the Ram Chassis Cab lineup.
The Q Pro program is a new qualification process for upfitters to certify their product with Ram Engineering. It provides resources to survey, make recommendations and certify upfitter products. Once an upfitter gets certified, the Ram Q Pro will then help to market their products to customers all while they know they’re getting products that meet Ram Commercial’s rigorous standards.

September was a good month overall for Fiat-Chrysler. So many vehicles in various brands did extremely well. Jeep and Dodge set numerous sales records and helped propel the company to have one great September. One of the other places where the auto maker did so well was in the truck segment. Ram trucks continued to have an increase of sales, in so much that two trucks were some of the fastest selling in September.
PickupTrucks.com highlights the ten fastest and slowest pickups sold in the month of September. The way to find out which truck is the fastest is done by seeing the supply of the truck. If a pickup has less than a 30-day supply, which means it’s on the fastest list. Without further suspense, the trucks in question were the 2016 Ram 1500 and Ram 2500.
The 2016 Ram 1500 has been one of the more popular trucks being produced at the moment and has been making a slow and steady march to being one of the dominant forces in its segment. It has been continuously awarded by numerous critics and drivers are catching on to why. As for the 2500, it was the only heavy-duty model to break into the top 10.
The ProMaster serious of commercial trucks also had great sales. Their sales were up 4 percent, making it the brand’s best September since 1996.

A new patent filing by Fiat Chrysler USA may point to Ram trucks getting retractable ramps for the truck bed.
Allpar, being the ever vigilant Chrysler watchers they are, caught a hit today when they came across a patent filling. The patent is for “ramps that slides into the bed and tailgate for storage.” If what the patent drawings are showing is true, then Ram owners will possibly be getting an easier way to get heavy objects in and out of their truck beds.
The drawing shows a very simple concept, to have retractable ramps that sit right below the surface of the truck bed and can then be brought out. I do not doubt that Ram would love to have this be standard issue on all their trucks. One look at it and it is easy to see the accessibility it provides and how much of a boon it would be to truck owners who need to get something heavy loaded quickly.
While it is an easy thing to make on paper, retractable ramps like this may not be as easily produced. It is certainly an idea that Ram has had in the past, as Allpar states, but the problem seems to be in being able to make the ramps durable enough to do their job. This is something that either Ram has overcome and they are staking their claim on it, or they just want to have it available to them to use in the future. Here’s hoping that they have something in place and ready to go.

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.

When it comes to remembering vehicles for their military history, Jeep is usually the one that first jumps to mind. Indeed the Jeep is the most notable and recognizable for its extended use during World War 2, but for heavy-duty jobs, a Jeep couldn’t cut it. The Jeep was needed for its ability to transport soldiers and supplies over extreme terrain for speed, but for more soldiers and more supplies, a truck would be necessary.
The Ram Power Wagon was created back in 1945. Soldiers returning from the war wrote to Dodge wondering where they could find trucks for civilian life like the ones they had overseas. In responses to these requests, Dodge put together the first mass-produced four-wheel-drive truck meant for civilians. This trucks was dubbed the Power Wagon.
Truck Trend has the rich history associated with the Power Wagon name. It’s been in use since its inception in one way or another. The Power Wagon name was discontinued in 1980 and reintroduced in 2005 and is still available.
2014 is when the Ram Power Wagon was given a redesign. An all-new engine, suspension, and tires keeps the truck still capable of being at its best in a much richer competitive area.
The Ram Power Wagon has been and always will be the truck for drivers looking for added edge both on and off the road.
