More and More Rams out on the streets!

[frank1]

Boy, over the past few years I've really started to see a big increase in Ram/Cummins owner ships (at least in my neck of the woods).Many small business companies, ie: landscaping,towing, general contracting companies have "switched over" from either Fords or GMC'S and into the Rams! Even yesterday I noticed two brand new 5500 rack body dumps w/ cummins, that our county purchased! I even noticed a die hard Ford nut driving a new 2500 Ram /Cummins 4 x 4. I guess the word is getting out, that these trucks are here to stay! Go Ram!

Nice looking truck! How far did you pull that sled? They probably told you to stop once you where out in the parking lot,ha,ha! That's what these trucks where made for, pulling all day long!

I get yelled at all the time , i like to go further where i know i can get away with it and there's room . small track or if a lot of people around i don't go any further then needed .

I think your seeing more of the Ram trucks because GM isn't making the medium duty trucks and folks wanted a choice besides a Ford. Sadly I think dodge has always been the "red headed step child" of the automotive world.
BTW - Nice looking truck.

I think that based on the latest sales reports, the "red headed step child" is getting noticed! Finally.

Who in their right mind would want to buy a Furd with all the Powerjoke problems they have. Ford owners are turning to Ram. I perfer to call them Dodge.

 

[BlackBullit]

Yup who would wanna own a Ford? Seems like that's what fills my days, fixing these blue ovals! I love these trucks from the stand point of them putting bread on the table.
BTW nice truck Lone Wolf.

After a drive through Alyeska Pipelines fleet maintenance yard today, it's safe to say that Dodge, er......Ram is making quite an entry into the medium truck market. I was surprised to see no less than a dozen 5500's dressed in services beds as well as a supervisors truck....get this, an Ecodiesel! BP and ConocoPhillips are using F-150's and alyeska is seeming to transition to dodges.......good things on the horizon I think.

Lots of medium duty Rams in San Diego

LOTS more Ram trucks on the road here in the North Western part of the country.. A friend that owns a tow company and ALWAYS made lots of fun of my Dodges now has a 2014 Ram Cummins 5500 rollback in the fleet.. He refused to get suckered into the Ford Powerstroke disaster again, and GM does not have anything offered anymore. So RAM was the only logical choice left for him. Maybe the next ambulance ride I take will be a RAM Cummins truck instead of the Ford 6.0 I rode in the last time.. VERY SCARRY

If you see them, post them here! https://www.turbodieselregister.com/threads/247873-4th-gen-observations

The other day, I saw a concrete contractor with a new shiny 5500. It was a drop side dump real neat. They were loading bobcat attachments on the side. As I was walking by, the "guest worker" in the bobcat BLASTS the front upright of the body. OUCH! There were a couple guys hopping mad.

Thought this was kind of cool,, CC Ram with a bus body, the company is supposed to have 100 of them..

 

[Wayne M.]

Wow. Now that's unique. Looks like it's for off road adventure. Maybe rafting? Spill ya drink for sure! I like it. My Daughter will love the color!

The Ram truck has had exceptional increases in market share.

Primarily because they offer a better product.

That's way you see more of them every day.

Great isn't it?
