, Auburn Hills, Mich.

The Ram Truck brand is participating in the one-of-a-kind holiday tradition as the Official Truck of the 95th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade® for the seventh consecutive year. Working closely with the Macy’s team and the city of New York, Ram is helping to keep the holiday tradition alive as more than 20 trucks will tow all the floats. The recently revealed Ram 1500 Limited (RAM)RED Edition will pull Santa’s sleigh, allowing millions of New Yorkers and the nation to safely experience it live in New York City or from the comfort of their homes and bringing joy into the hearts of millions across the nation through this cherished tradition.

“As the brand that is ‘Built to Serve,’ the Ram Truck brand is honored to serve as the official truck of this iconic parade as our full portfolio of award-winning trucks pulls these floats down the streets of Manhattan,” said Mike Koval Jr., Ram Brand CEO- Stellantis. “We are thrilled to have people return to experience this magical event in person as we continue to take great pride in aligning our brand with an iconic American event like the 95th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.”

The 2022 Ram 1500 Limited (RAM)RED Edition Truck will have the honor of guiding Santa’s sleigh this year and is poised to give Rudolph some competition with its shiny and bold red exterior. Ram Truck recently joined forces with (RED) to help fund live-saving programs through contributions to the Global Fund. (RED), named for the color of emergency, was founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver in 2006 to turn companies into a cavalry to fight the AIDS pandemic. Today, that cavalry is also fighting the urgent threat of COVID-19 and its devastating impact on the world’s most vulnerable communities, answering the need for a truly global response.

Every purchase of a new 2022 Ram 1500 Limited (RAM)RED Edition Truck is part of this commitment and features unique red grille lettering, door and center console badging. Learn more by going to Ram.com/red and (RED)partnership.

Ram will not only help transport the floats down the parade route, but will also assist in moving other parade materials needed to produce the annual celebration, from tool containers to costumes and much more, in the lead up to the start of the procession on Thanksgiving Day. The Ram Truck brand provided the Macy’s parade with more than 60 trucks and Ram ProMaster commercial vans, many of which are used for behind-the-scenes functions leading up to the parade start.

The 95th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will air nationwide on NBC-TV, Thursday, November 25, 2021, from 9 a.m. to noon, in all time zones. For more information, visit macys.com/parade.
