Colorado State Fair
For the 124th annual Colorado State Fair in Pueblo, Gordinier Group once again partnered with RAM Trucks and George P. Johnson to bring the RAM Truck Territory experience to life. Returning for another successful year, our team managed every aspect of the activation, from concept and course construction to operations and guest engagement.
The off-road course combined natural and engineered terrain that showcased RAM’s off-road performance in real-world conditions. Built in collaboration with our Dirt Designs Offroad crew, it featured articulation wedges, log crossings, moguls, and a steep climb and descent of the iconic RAM Mountain. Each feature was shaped to demonstrate capability, traction, and control across the RAM lineup.
Our precision drivers completed more than 4,000 laps over the 11-day event, giving nearly 10,000 guests an unforgettable ride experience. The excitement was reflected in guest reactions throughout the fair.
One attendee shared, “This ride was the best advertisement ever!”
Another said, “We were comparing trucks but now we’re certainly buying a RAM 1500 this week.”
In the nearby static display, Gordinier Group’s product specialists provided detailed walk-arounds of the RAM 1500 and RAM 3500 Limited, highlighting the craftsmanship, technology, and spacious interiors that drew repeated praise from fairgoers.
Once again, the Gordinier Group team delivered a professional, high-impact brand experience that connected directly with RAM owners and future buyers, strengthening the brand’s presence throughout Colorado and beyond.
Another successful Ram summer ride and drive series has sadly come to an end. The 2015 rodeo and farm show tours saw the best weather and more importantly, the best crowds that we have experienced to date.
This year, both tours saw the addition of the 2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, which was a great addition to the drive fleet! Guests were amazed by the torque, lack of typical diesel noise, and the amazing fuel economy (up to 29 mpg).
As the Ram Trucks brand continues to build momentum and win market share, we continue to see (and welcome) increased interest and participation in the ride and drive events.
Hats off to Ram on another great season!

The Ram Rodeo Test ride Series provides excellent exposure for the brand. Unlike the farm show circuit, these fairs are 10-12 days long and feature top country music acts, pro rodeo and bull riding events, carnivals, and other attractions that help to bring scads of people through the gates.
At these shows Gordinier Group/Dirt Designs has the opportunity to design and build organic off-road courses that feature, logs, rock piles, axle articulation rollers, dirt mountains, and as many other obstacles that we can pack into our footprint. While the simulated off-road courses provide an excellent medium to provide a consistent experience, we always jump at the chance to get on the heavy equipment and move some dirt around.
All 3 fairs brought us great weather and provided us a truly enormous amount of people to show off the 2014 Ram 1500 to. We really racked up the rides at these shows and were able to make a ton of positive impressions. This is easy to do when you are you are promoting the Motor Trend “Truck of the Year”, winner (for the last 2 years, thank you very much).
