Columbus International Auto Show attendees will get to experience the power, capabilities and performance of the award-winning Ram trucks at the Ram Truck Experience test track returning to the auto show March 15-18.
“We are proud to showcase the most innovative lineup of full-size pickup trucks on the market,” said Patrick Dougherty, Head of the Great Lakes Business Center – FCA US LLC. “The Ram Truck Experience provides a unique opportunity for riders as they experience the refined interior, capabilities and handling of the Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500.”
Participants in the Ram Truck Experience will be given rides with a performance driver through an indoor obstacle course that demonstrates the various truck capabilities, including 30-degree wedge to demonstrate traction; rocks and logs to demonstrate articulation and stability; bumps to demonstrate suspension; and a Ram Mountain to demonstrate the ground clearance, approach and departure angles.
Upon completion of the ride, participants will receive a commemorative Ram T-shirt.
