Ram Nation Volunteers Aid Residents of Texas Hit by Flooding

Posted on June 14, 2016 by baysideadmin

Ram Nation Volunteers have always been ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. Recently, a group of Ram Nation Volunteers headed to Flint Michigan to help deliver needed drinking water. The attention of Ram Nation now turns south to help Texas deal with flooding that occurred over the recent Memorial Day weekend.

Ram Nation Volunteers from local dealerships and the Ram Truck brand’s Southwest Business Center teamed up with the First Response Team of America over the weekend to help those in Rosenberg, Texas with the flooding that occurred there. They delivered supplies and helped clean up homes that were damaged.

Ram brand has been helping with the First Response Team of America since they formed a partnership with them in 2012. In that time, they’ve donated more than $300,000 to the group and have had numerous operations across the US in areas hit by natural disasters.

Ram Nation was a group formed in 2012 by those that loved the Ram brand and wanted to use their trucks to help out those in need. Ram Nation consists of volunteers with trucks to dealership employees. If you want to find out more about Ram Nation and would like to find out how to join, visit here.

New 2016 Ram 1500 Special Edition Announced: The Yellow Rose of Texas Special Edition

Posted on March 17, 2016 by baysideadmin

Ram has been the ‘Truck of Texas’ for a while now. It makes sense that when it comes time to put together a custom truck, that the great state of Texas would be getting its own special edition.

Ram is introducing the Yellow Rose of Texas edition of the 2016 Ram 1500. It has a Stinger Yellow paint color, not to confuse anyone by NOT having yellow paint to go with its name. This special edition will be offered on the half-ton 4×2 and 4×4 crew cab versions of the Ram 1500 Lone Star.

The name Yellow Rose of Texas comes from a mid-19^th century American folk song. It was later covered by artist Mitch Miller and was a Billboard Number One hit in 1955.

“Texas is truck country – Ram Truck country – and we’re committed to building products that resonate with our customers,” said Mike Manley, the head of Ram Brand. “The importance of the Texas truck market cannot be overstated. That’s why the Ram Truck brand has worked year after year to deliver hard-working trucks that serve the communities across the Lone Star state.”

Texas and Ram trucks have a long history together. It’s hard not to see Texas as a primary region for trucks. This is also not the first time that Ram has put together a special edition truck in honor of Texas. In 2014, they collaborated with the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum with a Ram Texas Ranger concept car. They’ve also provided much needed aid to residents hit by floods in 2015.

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.

Ram Breaks Record with 2015 Ram Truck Parade

Posted on April 20, 2015 by baysideadmin

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 Wins Truck of the Year from Motor Trend Again!

Posted on December 16, 2013 by baysideadmin

The Ram 1500 has earned the Motor Trend 2014 Truck of the Year.

Nine trucks were in the finals for getting the award. The judges took a look at trucks that were either new or significantly upgraded this year. That included the Ram 1500, the Chevrolet Silverado, Toyota Tundra, and the new Ram ProMaster van, nine trucks total. Before the end, each of them were put through extensive tests and exercises.

The testing took place at the Continental Tire Automotive Proving Grounds in Uvalde, Texas. The evaluation took over a week to complete and took a look at qualities such as acceleration and towing. After seeing all the criteria, it was the Ram 1500 that stood triumphant over the competition .
The announcement of the award was given at the birthplace of the Ram truck, the Warren Truck Assembly Plant in Michigan. The full breakdown as to how the Ram 1500 did in the test will be revealed in the February issue of Motor Trend as well as on their website.

“For 2014 we had a large and highly competitive field of contenders for Motor Trend?s Truck of the Year,” said Edward Loh, Editor-in-Chief of Motor Trend. “At the end of the day, though, the Ram 1500 quickly rose to the top. Not only did it withstand our rigorous testing, it thoroughly impressed our judges with its vast array of standard and optional equipment, and, most notable, its fuel-efficient, segment-exclusive EcoDiesel V-6. With 420 lb-ft of torque and up to 28 Real MPG highway, the EcoDiesel is a true game-changer. In fact it helped make Ram 1500 the Motor Trend 2014 Truck of the Year and the only consecutive winner in the history of the award.”

Winning the Motor Trend Truck of the Year award is a big deal. The Ram 1500 has been grabbing up the trophies left and right and making it clear that Ram is poised to make a big splash with the new Ram 1500 in the hearts of truck lovers everywhere.

Ram Makes Thank-You Video for 1500 Being Named Truck of Texas

Posted on May 16, 2013 by baysideadmin

When someone does something good for it, it’s only proper and polite to write a thank-you note.

Now, in this case the someone is Texas and the ones writing a thank-you note is Ram. They owe the state a big ol’ piece of gratitude. The problem is that it doesn’t seem possible to mail out individual letters to each and every resident of the state, so a more creative means needs to be devised.

Ram put together a montage of striking Texan imagery in a video they put together in appreciation of the honor of being the “Truck of Texas.” The resounding message carried over in the video is how humbling the truck maker is. Take a look at the video for yourself:

Not too long ago, the Ram 1500 was named by the Texas Auto Writers Association to be the “2013 Truck of Texas.” The reasoning behind this choice was thanks to the amazing 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine as well as the Best-in-Class fuel efficiency.

At this years event, the 2013 Ram 1500 is what impressed the voters the most. That’s not all, the new truck may have been the talk of the event, but the Ram brand was also the overall winner. The TAWA writers gave Truck Line of Texas to the Ram brand.

In all, the awards that Ram won were Truck of Teaxs, Truck Line of Texas, Full-size pickup truck, and Luxury pickup truck.

The TAWA President Michael Herzing praised the truck in his comments made about the big win, “Our members overwhelmingly chose the 2013 Ram 1500 as the Truck of Texas and the truck for Texans. The Ram 1500 is amazing. The new technologies in this truck are true game changers and raise the bar for the competition. You’ve got to love how touch, capable, comfortable, and fuel efficient this new truck is.”
