The Ram team prides themselves on giving consumers the best bang for their buck. They loaded the 2013 Ram 1500 with top quality materials and top-of-the-line tech such as the popular Chrysler UConnect system. That level is why Ram was put in the top 10 when compared to 46 other vehicles.

Ram Offers ACM Experience for Country Music Fans

Posted on April 8, 2013 by baysideadmin

Ram fans and country music fans have always had a connection. One just can’t help but love the other it seems. Ram knows this, that’s why they devoted their resources into putting together a country music celebration which had each entertainer drive a Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn for an entire year before putting it up for auction with the proceeds going to charity. The truck company decided that wasn’t enough and put up a special treat for people in attendance of the American Country Music Awards.

The event was dubbed the ‘ACM Experience’ and offered a rare experience. Fans got into a 2013 Ram 1500 and went up a 30-degree drive up a 13 foot hill. That’s not all; the course was filled with different challenges to drive over, such as a bed of railroad ties.

The people who took a ride also were registered for a chance to win $45,000 towards a Chrysler Group vehicle and free tickets to two weekend concerts.

The Road to Ram Jam is coming to a close. Part of the event was having each of the participating musicians put their 2012 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorns up for auction.

They get a great truck out of the deal and also provide college scholarships to some well-deserving young people.”

Each of the artists were given a year with the 2012 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn to promote the upcoming musical show. So far Zac Brown’s, Billy Currington’s, Brantley Gilbert’s, and Kellie Pickler’s trucks have been auctioned off. .

2014 Ram 1500’s Diesel Engine is Due to Fan Demand

Posted on March 13, 2013 by baysideadmin

The 2014 Ram 1500 is making a big splash this year by being made available to purchase with a diesel engine. According to the Stltoday.com, it’s the “first modern-era half-ton to make available diesel power.”

Making the decision to offer this new engine was not a difficult one. Ram stated that trucks fans have been ‘emphatically asking for it.’

In order to offer a Ram truck with diesel, there will be a new engine, and one not from Cummins. It will be coming from VM Motori of Cento, which is an Italian company owned by Fiat. The 3.0-liter V-6 turbo diesel engine will be in the 2014 Ram 1500 and later made available for the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The actual specs of the Ram version have not been made available as of yet, but a comparison is drawn using the Grand Cherokee. In the Jeep vehicle, the engine is capable of 240 horsepower and 420 lb.ft of torque. The Ram specs should be revealed sometime this summer.

2013 Ram 3500 Has the Best Towing of Any Other Truck

Posted on January 10, 2013 by baysideadmin

If you have a big haul then you will be needing the truck that can handle it. The Ram Heavy Duty truck is just the vehicle for the job. In fact, none of the competition can provide the same capability in 2013 that Ram can.

To prove the point, the 2013 Ram 3500 Heavy Duty truck can deliver 30,000 pounds of trailer capacity. That’s three and a half tons greater than any other truck on the market. The closet the competition can get is 23,100 lbs maximum. That’s not all the 3500 can do. The Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) of 37,600 pounds is greater than the 30,500 lbs that the competition has. There’s no doubt that the Ram 3500 Heavy Duty is the

That power comes from the upgraded 6.7 liter Cummins Turbo Diesel engine. It’s also thanks to the Ram 3500’s new high strength steel frame and a higher-load transmission.

“Towing capability, reliability, and engine performance are ranked first through third, respectively with HD customers,” said Fred Diaz, President and CEO of Ram Truck Brand. “The 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks unequivocally deliver all those things, as well as a very low total cost of ownership.”

2 Million Engines Served! Ram Trucks Reaches Milestone

Posted on December 13, 2012 by baysideadmin

Cummins Inc, the company that makes the engines for Ram trucks has reach one heck of a milestone. They sure have earned the bragging rights on this one.

Ever since 1988 Cummins Inc has been in charge of making the engines for Ram trucks. To mark a giant milestone in that partnership, they have produced the 2 millionth diesel engine for the company.

The engine that was made will not be seeing service in any trucks, however. The 6.7-liter 6 cylinder turbo diesel will be put on show. Marked by the Cummins Red rocker cover and breather, the 2 millionth engine will be put on tour across the US in a victory dance.

No resting on these laurels, though. The engine maker is hard at work to make sure that 2013 is their best year yet. The new models they have planned for the new year will offer the best-in-class torque combined with a 10 percent improvement in fuel-economy. Other features include a new cooling system that gives an improved durability as well as performance.

Ram 2500 CNG: Green Alternative for Truck Drivers

Posted on November 24, 2012 by baysideadmin

The conversation after Hurricane Sandy for many of us in New York seemed to circle around climate change. Governor Cuomo said as much during the numerous press conferences he held following the disaster. Whenever global warming is talked about, it’s no doubt that green energy is just around the corner. No matter your position on what happenings of the environment of late, it’s hard to deny that car makers shouldn’t be doing all they can to help with keeping emissions from their vehicles down.

Ram is answering the call that many seem to be putting out for engines running on alternative fuel technology. The Ram 2500 will now be the first in the truck line-up that Ram has planned to have CNG (compressed natural gas). It is the only OEM-built, CNG-powered truck that is made and sold in the US.

The Ram 2500 CNG is a bi-fuel vehicle. That means it uses compressed natural gas as the primary source of fuel and switches over to gas only after the CNG has been depleted. CNG is identical in mileage to that of vehicles on unleaded regular gas. The bright spot to that is that the cost is 30 percent lower than the average price of a gallon of gas.

Breaking it down even further in comparison, CNG costs around $1.25 per GGE (gasoline gallon equivalent). On CNG, the Ram gets 301 miles on the highway with the range getting boosted to 966 miles with the backup gas supply. CO2 emissions are reduced by 20 percent and tailpipe emissions see a drop of more than 50 percent.

Ram Donates Trucks, $100,000 to Hurricane Sandy Relief

Posted on November 8, 2012 by baysideadmin

As the east coast recovers after Hurricane Sandy, Ram Trucks are stepping up and helping in relief efforts.

So far, the popular truck brand has pledged their support for those affected by the storm, and they have donated $100,000 and 20 Ram 1500 trucks to the American Red Cross. Neal Litvack, Chief Development Officer at the American Red Cross, praised Ram for their support, saying, “Through the generosity of its partners such as Ram and Chrysler Group, the American Red Cross is responding with shelter, food, and emotional support, helping families and communities with their most critical needs now, and as they begin to move towards recovery.”

One of the biggest problems facing relief workers is that the areas that need help the most are still not easily accessible, and besides that, these residents need water, food, blankets, medicine, and other necessary supplies. They need a way to transport these supplies efficiently, and that’s why Ram trucks are so important to recovery efforts.

We would like to encourage our readers to donate to the American Red Cross and volunteer with relief efforts if they are physically able. Our friends, family, and neighbors in New York and New Jersey need us right now, and we are so glad to see Ram taking action in the aftermath of this terrible storm.
