Ram
RAM Truck Territory hit the outdoors at the World Ag Expo, the world’s largest annual agricultural exposition in Tulare, California.
Gordinier Group staff highlighted the vehicle’s attributes from the right seat while consumers drove and experienced the trailer towing capabilities of the RAM truck line-up first-hand.
The RAM Truck Territory made an appearance at the Houston Auto Show with a variety of 2019 RAM trucks. They presented the Rebel, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, and the Limited 1500 models for the test-ride participants that lined up for a ride. Consumers were pleased to get a first-hand look at the RAM 1500 named 2019 Motor Trend Truck of the Year as well as the 2019 North American Truck of the Year.
The Gordinier Group team demoed the various new features on the 2019 RAM 1500 Truck.
Next door to RAM Truck Territory, Gordinier Group staff also turned laps at Camp Jeep with the Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, Cherokee TrailHawk Elite, Grand Cherokee TrailHawk and the Compass TrailHawk. Jeepers crowded the track and jam-packed the line.
The Gordinier Group team brought in the holidays with Santa! With Ram being a proud sponsor of the 2018 Nashville Christmas Parade, Gordinier Group drivers geared up for the task of pulling the festive parade floats for all to enjoy. As the title sponsor of the parade, Ram trucks towed all of the parade floats, including the life-size gingerbread float that housed Santa. Ram provided 15 trucks in all, as well as, provided seats for many heartwarming patients and their families from Monroe Carell Jr Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt to enjoy the parade first hand.
It was smiles all around!

Sunbelt Ag Expo was the final stop on a successful summer farm show season for Ram Truck and Gordinier Group.
Ag shows are a great way for Ram to take a more grassroots approach to experiential marketing. In contrast to Ram’s auto show ride and drive activations, the guest interactions are longer and more personal at farm shows. While Gordinier Group drivers can’t churn through the staggering numbers of people like at an auto show, it is nice to shift gears and have an opportunity to form more of a bond with the heavy truck-biased demographic and be able to spend more time addressing their questions and concerns. It really feels like the trade-off is worth it.
This year’s tour began in California, hitting 5 total stops before finishing up in Moultrie, GA at Sunbelt. The 2018 2018 tour featured stops at:
World Ag Expo – Tulare, CA
Wisconsin Farm Tech Days – Johnson Creek, WI
Farm Progress Show – Boone, IA
Husker Harvest Days – Grand Island, NE
Sunbelt Ag Expo, Moultrie, GA
The Ram program consists of in interior off-road track surrounded by a perimeter towing track. This allows the team to give guests two different experiences – a ride along over the technical off-road features, piloted by Gordinier Group drivers. Similar to the auto show model, drivers give product specs and explain what the truck is showing on each obstacle.
On the tow track, guests drive and tow the load while GG personnel ride shotgun, answering questions and giving pointers while the guests actually feel the truck’s power and towing capability first hand.
With this model, the consumer experience is genuine and very informative. We are looking forward to getting back to the fields in 2019!
