Truck Sales on the Rise as Ram Introduces the Ram 1500 Rebel

2015 Ram 1500 Rebel

Good news for the truck world; sales have been on the up and up.  They are up 21.9 percent since just 2013 and that growth looks to be continuing in comparison to all the other vehicles in the US.  It is clear to see that many of the major US auto makers will be concentrating a great deal of effort in this market, and that is something that Fiat-Chrysler has made clear.  Over the past year their dedication to being one of the premier truck makers in the US has been made clear.  This year should be a major leap forward for the brand.

The Ram truck method of staying competitive with other trucks such as the Ford F-150 Raptor is the new Ram 1500 Rebel.  The new truck is more of a sports model with a meaner exterior design including a blacked out grille that has the brand name on it.  The Rebel comes with the choice of a V6 or a Hemi V8 engine to give the driver the power and capability that a truck owner needs.  The V8 even comes with an eight-speed auto transmission for better fuel consumption.

The Ram 1500 Rebel is a looker that doesn’t hold back on what it can do.  That imposing all black grille gives it a unique look among the rest of the trucks and really sells the idea of a powerful truck.  The question now is the Rebel going to be enough to help the Ram truck brand to pull up some during this next year against the more cemented brands.  Only time will tell, but if the past few years of Ram’s commitment to quality is any indication, the other trucks better look out.

Ram Sales Increasing, Silverado’s Decreasing

Ram has been pushing the notion that they are ready to be the top of the truck world. They’ve been aiming high and looking to replace Ford and Toyota as the ones with the best truck on the market. The 2014 Ram 1500 has been making a lot of waves in that sense. Recently, it was named the “Truck of Texas” and has been earning praise from critics all over. It appears all that hype is having an impact on the market as the demand for Ram is increasing while other truck makers are seeing their sales shrink.

Automotive News breaks down how Ram is doing in the overall truck market. The Silverado has been having a tough time starting out 2014 in a right way. The sale figures are down 15 percent for January and February. In comparison, Ram’s sales have increased 24 percent.

The gap between the Silverado and Ram is a sizable one, but one that is decreasing with each passing month. Ram in general has successfully been creeping up on the truck giants and their lead. According to Autodata Corp, “Ram has doubled sales and increased its share of the U.S. truck segment.” On the flip side, GM is down by 3.4 percent. GM’s belief is that the sales of the Silverado are down due to a limit on incentives.
