High School Grad Stands Out with Ram

On graduation day, it is easy to blend into the masses of robed figures and mortarboards, but a high school grad in Virginia found a way to stand out and proclaim his love for Ram trucks.

Robby Lyons has been a fan of Ram trucks for years. His family owns a 2004 Ram 2500 HD, and he drives a 1989 Power Ram W100 Series. When asked about his love of Rams, he says, “I sit in [my] truck and I get chills. The power and durability combined with handling – it just blows me away.” Besides owning a Ram truck, he also ran his own junior dragster up until 2009, and he plans to continue drag racing with his father and uncle, serving as the team’s mechanic.

It is only appropriate then that Robby bolted a Ram head hood ornament to his graduation cap. While most people found the hood ornament amusing, some teachers raised objections to the hat. Robby was eventually given approval to wear his souped-up mortarboard to the ceremony, and since then, he has received local and national news coverage including a feature on the RamZone blog.

With gas prices up and down daily, drivers are dreading their trips to the gas station this summer. New car buyers are looking for more fuel-efficient cars, and surveys show that fuel economy is the most important factor to American car shoppers.

Ram wants to ease that worry at the gas pump by giving away free gallons of gas all summer. One lucky winner will receive 500 gallons of gas, and one hundred weekly winners will receive 32 gallons.

The contest kicked off April 5 and goes through September 1, 2012, so there is still plenty of time to enter and win. You can fill out the contest entry form here, and make sure to only enter once. Multiple entries or entries under the same e-mail address will be disqualified.

Imagine how far 500 gallons of gas could take you this summer. Those trips to the pool, the park, and the grocery store add up quickly, and instead of paying for pricy airline tickets, you could take the family on a road trip for vacation. No matter how you would use it, Ram’s Gallon Guarantee contest should not be missed.

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.

Ram wants you to man up and share your RAMActs.

Ram kicked off the month of May by daring its nearly 27,000 Twitter followers to get their blood flowing and show what their made of with Random Acts of Manliness.

What is a RAMAct? A RAMAct is doing something extraordinary. Get a tattoo, climb a mountain, face your fears, and man-up, and post a picture or video to Twitter with the hashtag #RAMActs.

If Ram’s female fans feel left out by the campaign, they don’t need to fear. RAMActs aren’t only for the boys and men. Last night, Ram tweeted, “Random Acts of Manliness aren’t just for men! Ladies can join in the movement too,” so Ram ladies can step up to the plate and brag about their own RAMActs.

Will you be joining in the RAMActs movement? Follow Ram on Twitter @RamTrucks, and check out Bayside’s inventory of Ram trucks online here. You can also keep up with the latest news and promotions from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram by liking Bayside on Facebook and following Bayside on Twitter.

2012: Year of the Dragon or Year of the Ram?

The 2013 Ram 1500 won’t be available until later this year, but already the popular truck is making headlines with its advanced technology and driver conveniences.

At the 2012 New York International Auto Show, Ram was pushing the tagline “Guts and Glory” for the 2013 Ram 1500, an apt description if I ever heard one. The new model improves the truck in all the ways that drivers care about including better gas mileage, better aerodynamics, a new air suspension system, and updated interiors.

Here are some of the ways the Ram 1500 has been improved.

  • 42 percent boost in horsepower and 13 percent boost in torque
  • Gas mileage has improved 20 percent.
  • High-strength steel is used in the frame of the truck
  • Ram’s revolutionary rotary shifter allows drivers to shift from park to drive with the turn of a knob.
  • The new air suspension system gives drivers the choice between 2 off-road heights, an aerodynamic setting, and a park “kneeling” setting so that shorter drivers have an easier time getting in and out of the car.

To sum up, the new Ram 1500 is lighter, stronger, and more powerful. It made a strong impression at the New York Auto Show, and coming out of 2011 with Ram sales up 22.6 percent, this could be a really amazing year for Ram.
