Ram Breaks Record with 2015 Ram Truck Parade

Ram Parada Breaks Record - Ram Dealer NY - Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge

Ram announced that they wanted to break some records to coincide with the Academy of Country Music.  That record being the largest parade of Ram trucks.  They put out the call and needed 451 truck drivers to show up.  And show up they did, helping Ram to break the record.

“Our hard-working Ram truck owners are passionate and loyal, and today they proved once again that everything is always bigger in Texas,” said Roberto Hegbloom, The President and CEO of Ram Truck Brand.

The drivers who signed up to participate in the event weren’t there just to break records.  As a thank-you for those who helped the truck company break the record, they were given numerous treats.  They were fed and given the chance to see the Raminator monster truck as well as the driver.  Also included in the ticket price for the parade was an invite to the ACM Party for a Cause Festival where they could enjoy live music.

“Ram is the fastest growing truck brand in Texas, where trucks are king, and it was great to see 451 Ram owners travel far and wide for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of a special recording-breaking rally and pickup parade.”

Wonder how many trucks Ram will want to have next year to break the record.  A part of me hopes they simply raise it by one truck every year.

Ram Teases New Surprise

2013-ram-2500-3500-hd-pickup-photos-and-info-news-car-and-driver-photo-474781-s-429x262

Ram has a mystery reveal coming up.  It seems that the truck maker has a surprise in store for fans.  Ram seems to be planned for a tad bit of a shake-up thanks to the five-year plan.  Just what could be shown off?

Ram has sent out word to a livestream event they have schedule on June 26th at 11am EDT. According to the very brief and vague description, Ram has a new product announcement they want the world to see. No clue exactly what kind of truck they are planning to show, however.

According to the plan that Fiat Chrysler laid out Ram will be giving the Ram 1500 a mid-cycle refresh for the 2015 model year. There’s a chance this might be the reveal of a new Ram 1500 to ride off the success the company had with the 2014 Ram 1500. It might also be Ram showing off newer heavy-duty trucks as part of their way to up their competition in the heavy-duty market. It may even be both.

Until this upcoming Thursday, June 26th, it is just going to be wild speculation. We can’t wait to see what Ram has in store.

Ram Honors Military Hero at ACM Awards

Next Monday is Memorial Day, a day that Ram takes very seriously, and this year Ram teamed up with one of country music’s biggest stars to pay tribute to America’s heroes.

Ram asked for friends and family to nominate a military service-member for the National Ram Military Hero Contest. The winning service-member and the person who nominated them would win a trip to Las Vegas for the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards and would get to meet country music star Craig Morgan.

The 2012 honoree was Army Pfc. Brandon Sapp of the 1st Calvary Division from Fort Wood Texas, who was killed by a homemade bomb. For his service, he was awarded the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, and the Good Conduct Medal. His father John accepted the National Ram Military Hero award on his behalf last month as part of the ACM Awards weekend events.

Both Craig Morgan and Ram have a long history of supporting the troops. Morgan was active duty in the Army’s 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions for ten years and served an additional nine years in the Reserves. He has also performed in nine USO tours and won the 2006 USO Merit Award. In a recent interview, he praised Ram’s strong commitment to the military, saying, “I think it’s so wonderful that a company like Ram Trucks who is such a great brand and so recognizable; for them to get behind something, that to me is more important than anything, and that’s to get behind the men and women that serve in our Armed Forces.”

At Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, we want to encourage our readers to honor our military service-members all throughout the year as well as during Memorial Day weekend.

Ram Trucks Sponsor Kentucky Derby

As all eyes were on the Kentucky Derby this past weekend, all eyes were also on Ram trucks as well.

For the past 3 years, Ram has been the official truck of the Kentucky Derby, one of the most famous sporting events in the world. The Ram brand was everywhere at Churchill Downs from posters to vehicle displays and uniforms. Derby winner I’ll Have Another might have even gotten a little jealous at how much coverage Ram received.

At first glance, Ram seems out of place next to the fancy dresses, exotic hats, and mint julep-sipping crowd, but on closer look, the partnership makes perfect sense. The Kentucky Derby might be a high-class affair, but the road to the Kentucky Derby is rough. This sentiment is echoed in their campaign for the Kentucky Derby which was “Hard-Earned, Not Hard-Won.” Every day, horse owners need a reliable truck and trailer, and they can appreciate Ram’s customizable towing features and tools that help horse owners find the best truck to fit their needs. There is a saying that behind every great man, there is a better woman. Well, one of the best kept secrets of the Kentucky Derby is that behind every race horse, there is an incredible trainer and a great truck.

Ram has a truck for every towing and driving need, and you can browse Bayside’s inventory of new and used Ram trucks online here.
