Ram Truck Brand Ram 1500 'WINNING' @ Gary Mathews Motors

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - March 3, 2014 - PRLog -- The Ram Truck Brand unveiled a 145-foot-wide-by-155-foot-tall building wrap on the tower of the Chrysler Group LLC headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich.

The building wrap celebrates the Ram 1500 being named Motor Trend’s “Truck of the Year®” in 2013 and 2014, marking the first time any vehicle has won this prestigious honor for two consecutive years.

Motor Trend gave the unprecedented honor to the Ram 1500 in December 2013. Motor Trend’s judges ran nine contenders for the Truck of the Year honor through a series of tests, and when the votes were cast, the Ram 1500 emerged the winner.

“Half-ton truck customers have been asking for a diesel engine and Ram is the only truck manufacturer to answer the bell and deliver not only best-in-class fuel economy, but also 9,200 pounds of towing capacity,” said Reid Bigland, President and CEO – Ram Truck Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “In a brutally competitive truck industry, the Ram 1500 is the only vehicle to ever win Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year award two years in a row, reaffirming the fact that we have the best truck on the road.”

The image on the wrap is that of the front end of a 1500 coming across a truss bridge. The wrap is located on the west side of the Headquarters Tower facing the main entrance to the company’s Auburn Hills Complex and Interstate 75, which carries more than 140,000 motorists past it each day.

Ram Truck advertising agency, The Richards Group of Dallas, designed the image and IM Branded of Rochester Hills, Mich., produced and installed the building wrap.
