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.

Ram Trucks Donates to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum

Posted on September 8, 2015 by baysideadmin

Ram trucks have always been supporters of the Texas Rangers. They’ve put out models of the 1500 that has honored the Rangers. They plan to continue their support by donating $100,000 to the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum.

This donation is happening almost a year since they last partnered with the Texas Rangers and also donated $100,000 to help the legendary law enforcers.

“Texas Rangers epitomize all of the great qualities of the Lone Star State,” said Beck Blanchard, Director of Ram Truck Brand. “Ram has deep ties to Texas. Reinforcing Ram’s commitment to the Texas Ranger Division and the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum is a significant way to be engaged with the people and communities in which we do business.”

The money being donated will go to help make improvements at the museum. A portion of the donation will also goto the Texas Ranger Association Foundation’s scholarship program.

Ram ProMaster Takes on the Ike Gauntlet

Posted on August 24, 2015 by baysideadmin

The Ram ProMaster is Ram’s newest entry into one of the hottest markets in cars right now; the commercial truck segment. The ProMaster City is designed to be a smaller van for smaller businesses that need large amounts of equipment or product trucked across a busy city like New York. The ProMaster City also has been chosen by The Fast Lane Truck to tackle their Ike Gauntlet extreme towing test. It is the first commercial van to attempt this, so let’s see how it turned out.

In a video uploaded to their YouTube channel, they run their viewers through the engine and drive of the ProMaster City. Of note in their drive on the route, the ProMaster City easily handled with the towing cart hooked up behind it and offered amazing visibility with its mirrors, being able to see all around comfortably while keeping eyes on the trailer.

All along the route, the drivers were impressed with what the ProMaster City had to offer. With the size and the weight, they weren’t sure what to expect. It is clear by the end, however, that Ram had convinced them of the quality of their commercial cargo van. Be sure to check out the full video to see how the ProMaster City handles itself.

2016 Ram 3500 Rolls off the Line

Posted on July 23, 2015 by baysideadmin

The first 2016 Ram 3500 has rolled off the line at the Saltillo Truck assembly Plant. In true fashion for this monster of a heavy-duty truck, it is a Mega Cab Laramie Longhorn.

The new 2016 Ram 3500 offers the best towing capacity out there. It has more torque than any other tuck in its class. It is a truck center around providing those that need something heavy-duty.

The word first came out about the capability of the 2016 Ram 3500 a few weeks ago in June. The major advertising point was the massive 900 lb-ft of torque. That is the most torque ever offered in a mass-production vehicle. The 3500 accomplishes this with the 2016 Cummins 6.7-liter. That makes it so the 3500 can tow up to 30,000 pounds.

For the hardcore truck fans out there that want something hardcore, you can start getting excited because the 2016 Ram 3500 is getting out there.

Ram Extends Partnership With Easton Corbin

Posted on July 20, 2015 by baysideadmin

Ram has been having a lot of luck with their country stars. The recent partnership with Miranda Lambert has delivered a smash hit with her song “Roots and Wings.” It’s clear they’ve found an audience for their trucks and it is in the form of a country audience. It doesn’t come as any surprise that Ram is extending their partnership with country star Easton Corbin.

Easton and Ram have been collaborating since 2012. This extension of their relationship is going to produce a whole new song titled “Let’s Ride.” Like Lambert’s “Roots and Wings” the song is inspired by Ram trucks. The song will be featured across a slew of media spectrums, from commercials to its own music video.

“We continue to look for unique ways to creatively show how Ram trucks are an integral part of our culture and the everyday lives of our customers,” said Oliver Francois, Chief Marketing Officer of FCA. “It is rewarding to know that Easton, one of the hottest young artists in country music today, wrote the song inspired by his ongoing experiences behind the wheel of our Ram trucks.”

The music video of “Let’s Ride” will be available on YouTube and other digital services.

Ram Files Patent for Retractable Ramps for Truck Beds

Posted on July 14, 2015 by baysideadmin

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.

Watch How the Ram Rebel Got its New Front Grille

Posted on July 7, 2015 by baysideadmin

What is more of a summer thought than that of grilling up dinner? Ram has released a new video of them talking about grilling, only in this case, it’s the kind that is at the front of the truck.

The Ram Rebel is the newest Ram truck and one of the most noticeable things off the bat is that Ram has a beefy new front grille for it. In the newly released video, engineers at Ram are interviewed on the history of the Ram grille. While the grille is certainly iconic now, it wasn’t that major back then. A Ram truck’s grille was changed every two to three years and it was usually just the insert or the headlights that changed.

In 1994, Ram introduced the grille as we know it today. It was a shoot in the arm for the truck market and gave Ram trucks a unique look with the crosshair design.

Ram challenged their engineers and designers to shake up the front grille for the new Rebel. To get to the end result that we see now, they thought of what was going on today. Michael Gillam, Senior Creative Designer at Ram Truck Studios, points to the recent beard craze that got them thinking of what a beard would look like on a truck. Now that you know that, it’s impossible to unsee it on the Rebel.

It’s a great watch to see how the Rebel and the updated grille came to be as well as a brief history lesson on Ram trucks. Check it out here:

Texas Ranger Ram Truck Makes Appearance at Texas Ranger Hall of Fame

Posted on June 15, 2015 by baysideadmin

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 19^th 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.

Response Team of America and Ram Respond to Wimberly Floods

Posted on June 8, 2015 by baysideadmin

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.
