Ram Diesel Engine Has High Demand

Posted on July 9, 2014 by baysideadmin

The move to diesel has been a popular one for Chrysler. The reason for adding on a diesel engine option was largely due to the demand from consumers. The addition seems to be paying off for Ram trucks as the demand seems to justify increasing the supply.

Chrysler has sent word to its supplier in Italy to send them more of the V-6 EcoDiesel engines. It seems that people are not just asking for Ram to provide a diesel option, they are actually buying them as well. It is refreshing to see that the consumer is wanting something and then going out and buying it rather than patting the company on the back and saying “well, thanks for doing that, I’ll think about getting it now.”

The diesel engine in the Ram full-sized pickups offers better towing and fuel economy than a gas engine.

Ram Teases New Surprise

Posted on June 23, 2014 by baysideadmin

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 Trucks Headlines May Sales Increase for Chrysler

Posted on June 3, 2014 by baysideadmin

The month of May was very positive for Ram. With help from Jeep, Ram was one of the biggest reasons for Chrysler execs to be driving into work with smiles on their faces. Thanks to Ram sales, Chrysler as a whole posted one of their best May sales in years.

The full gain that Chrysler posted was a 17% increase thanks to Ram Trucks. On its own, Ram sales were up by 19%. That number is the truck-maker’s best May sales since 2005. Heavy-duty truck sales were also up by 34% for the month.

“Our Jeep sport-utility vehicles and Ram pickups continued to do well in May as our dealers reported brisk May sales over five weekends and the Memorial Day holiday,” said Reid Bigland, Head of US Sales for Chrysler, in a statement.

AUTOMOBILE Magazine Names Ram 1500 “2014 All-Star”

Posted on April 8, 2014 by baysideadmin

AUTOMOBILE Magazine has named its 2014 All-Stars, and for the second year in a row, the Ram 1500 has made the prestigious list.

Every year, the magazine chooses 10 vehicle All-Stars, and the list includes a wide range of passenger cars, SUVs, sports cars, trucks, and minivans. AUTOMOBILE Magazine chose the Ram 1500 because it “defies the limitations of a pickup truck, continuing a spirit of innovation that began in the mid-1990s.”

“The list of options and the refine interior rival those of a luxury car,” wrote the AUTOMOBILE Magazine staff. “And a new diesel engine – the only one available on a light-duty pickup – achieves the fuel economy of a mid-size crossover.” The 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel has a best-in-class fuel efficiency of 28 mpg.

Michael Jordan, West Coast Editor for AUTOMOBILE Magazine, had more praise for the 2014 Ram 1500, stating, “Chrysler doesn’t get the credit it deserves for what it’s done in the truck segment. First, it reinvented the way trucks look with its big-rig grille. Then it was the first to offer a cabin that held more people and more stuff. Later they did a chassis that would both steer and stop, and now they’ve delivered a great ride with air springs.”

The full list of AUTOMOBILE Magazine’s All-Stars is available here.

Ram Trucks Announces Black Express Package for 2500, 3500

Posted on April 3, 2014 by baysideadmin

Ram Trucks announced this week that the popular Black Express package, which was formerly only available for the Ram 1500 package, will now be available for the Ram Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 SRW.

Some of the features of the 2014 Ram Heavy Duty Black package include an all-black exterior, 20-inch black aluminum wheels, fog lamps, black grille surrounded with black horizontal inserts. The dark front and rear bumpers and the head badges complete the look. Obviously it isn’t called the “Black package” for nothing. Beyond the look, the 2014 Ram Heavy Duty Black Package comes with a cargo-view camera, RamBox, manual transmission for diesel, and link coil rear suspension with air suspension option.

Reid Bigland, President and CEO of Ram Truck Brand, praised the work on the new Black package, saying, “The Black package on the Ram Heavy Duty is proof that our designers are passionate about trucks and will continue to maintain our trendsetting leadership.”

Buyers interested in the Heavy Duty Black package can order it with the Ram 2500 and 3500 SRW, Crew Cab, Mega Cab, Big Horn/Lone Star, and Laramie models. Pricing starts at $42,140 with an additional $1,195 destination charge.

Ram Sales Increasing, Silverado’s Decreasing

Posted on March 26, 2014 by baysideadmin

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.

Ram Caves Contest Builds Dream Garages for 3 Lucky Winners

Posted on March 13, 2014 by baysideadmin

Last year, Ram Trucks announced that it would be sending out designers Timothy Dahl, Brett McKay, and Bob Vila to three lucky Ram owners to give them a proper “Ram Cave.” Every new garage would be built to meet the needs of each winner, whether if it means starting with a bare-bones garage or giving a great garage an extra special touch.

Yesterday, the Ram Trucks channel premiered the videos of all three winners getting their garage makeovers. Timothy Dahl went to meet Lee in Portland and show off the new Ram 1500. Bob Vila headed out to Prior Lake, Minnesota to meet with Rachel, who had won the contest for her father Dan, and show off the Ram 2500. Finally, Brett McKay took off for Maryland with the Ram 3500 to meet with Randy and his family. Randy’s wife had been diagnosed a year ago with breast cancer, and with the new Ram Cave, he will be able to continue his work on Ram Trucks and be closer to his family.

New Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Arriving at Dealerships Soon

Posted on March 7, 2014 by baysideadmin

The Ram 1500, Chrysler’s big seller of February, has an EcoDiesel version of the popular model coming to dealerships any day now.

When Ram Trucks started taking orders back in February, the first allocation of the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel sold out in only a few days. Considering that the Ram 1500 is the first half-ton pickup in the United States to have a diesel option, perhaps Ram Trucks shouldn’t have been surprised at the high demand, but Ram Trucks CEO Reid Bigland was modest in his response, saying, “It’s every truck manufacturer’s dream to have this kind of initial order demand for a product.”

Drivers looking for more power in their truck will not be disappointed. The truck’s 3.0-liter V6 engine from VM Motori, an Italian engine manufacturer, is a perfect pairing of power and new technology, and manufacturing of the truck itself happens in the United States at the Warren Truck Assembly Plant. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesels will be capable of towing up to 9,200 pounds, and its fuel economy is measured at 28 mpg highway.

For those who missed the chance to order their Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, there is no need to worry. Ram Trucks will be opening orders again in March.

Ram Publicizes “Truck of the Year” Award with Ram 1500 Building Wrap

Posted on February 28, 2014 by baysideadmin

How does Ram celebrate winning Motor Trend’s “Truck of the Year” for two consecutive years? They wrap the Chrysler Group headquarters in a 155-feet-tall picture of the Ram 1500.

In December, Motor Trend announced that the 2014 Ram 1500 had been named “Truck of the Year,” a great honor considering that the 2013 Ram 1500 had won “Truck of the Year” the year before. The Ram Truck brand wanted to celebrate the Ram 1500 and everyone at Ram behind this award-winning truck, and the only way to properly celebrate such an exciting award was to go big with a building wrap on the Chrysler Group LLC headquarters in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

The Ram 1500 image on the building wrap is so enormous that it takes up four floors of the building. The windshield alone is 18 feet wide by 4 feet high, and the truck grille is 40 feet wide by 15 feet tall. It took four days to install the wrap on the building, but considering all the drivers seeing it from Interstate 75, the effort was well worth it.
