Ram Truck
The 2026 Colorado State Fair gave Gordinier Group another opportunity to bring the RAM Truck Territory experience to thousands of fairgoers in Pueblo. This year, the addition of the RAM 1500 RHO brought a new dimension to our custom-built course and a chance to demonstrate a side of the truck many guests may not have expected.
Known for its power and high-performance credentials, the RHO proved equally impressive at controlled speeds. Technical obstacles put its suspension, articulation, traction, and control to work, demonstrating how composed and capable the truck remained when the terrain became challenging.
That element of surprise extended well beyond the RHO. Across the RAM lineup, guests consistently came away impressed by attributes they hadn’t expected, from ride quality and interior refinement to technology, towing capability, and the immediate response of the Hurricane engine. The experience gave fairgoers a chance to move beyond their assumptions and experience the trucks from an entirely different perspective.
That response is what made the 11-day program particularly rewarding for the Gordinier Group team. By creating an experience that allowed thousands of consumers to see, feel, and understand the vehicles beyond what they might learn from a traditional display, we helped turn curiosity into meaningful product engagement. For some guests, the ride confirmed what they already knew about RAM. For others, it completely changed the conversation.
Gordinier Group recently returned to Overland Expo Mountain West to create a unique opportunity for attendees to get behind the wheel of both RAM trucks and Jeep vehicles on our purpose-built off-road course. With one of our coaches/product specialists beside them, participants navigated technical terrain while learning proper driving techniques and experiencing the vehicles’ systems and technology in action.
The combination of course design, hands-on driving, expert coaching, and detailed product knowledge turned each drive into more than a demonstration. Guests could feel how the vehicles responded, ask questions in real time, and better understand the engineering behind the capability they were experiencing.
Creating that kind of meaningful interaction requires every element of the program to work together. From designing the terrain and managing vehicle flow to preparing knowledgeable staff who can engage with a knowledgeable enthusiast audience, we managed the details that made the experience safe, authentic, and informative.
Gordinier Group continued our long-standing partnership with RAM by managing the RAM Truck Territory activation at Rodeo Austin 2026. Our team constructed and staffed an interactive experience designed to showcase the capability, technology, and performance of the RAM truck lineup.
The custom-built off-road course featured a variety of real-world terrain challenges including dirt moguls, banked turns and the signature mobile mountain hill climb. Each obstacle was designed to highlight vehicle articulation, traction, stability and capability while our precision drivers delivered exciting ride-along experiences for event attendees.
In addition to the off-road course, Gordinier Group managed a hands-on towing demonstration featuring the RAM 3500 Dually and RAM 1500 Big Horn. Guests were able to get behind the wheel and experience RAM’s towing strength, control, and confidence firsthand with guidance from our team of product specialists.
Over the 16-day event, Gordinier Group delivered nearly 15,000 guest experiences while managing vehicle operations, safety procedures, product education and guest engagement. Guest feedback highlighted the impact of the experience, with one attendee sharing,
“You can feel the strength of this truck as soon as you start rolling. I can barely feel that trailer back there.”
RAM Truck Territory once again demonstrated the power of experiential marketing by combining capability demonstrations with authentic consumer interaction, creating memorable connections between attendees and the RAM brand.
At the Houston Auto Show, Gordinier Group successfully supported two simultaneous ride-and-drive activations—Camp Jeep and the RAM Truck Drive—delivering high-impact, hands-on brand experiences across both platforms. Gordinier Group also brought an organic element to the 4×4 experience in Houston with a hybrid build, showcasing both a mechanical hill for traction display and dirt elements to get an authentic off-road experience on the auto show floor.
Camp Jeep continued to serve as a cornerstone attraction, offering guests an immersive look at Jeep’s Trail Rated capability. Consistent throughput and strong guest interest reinforced the program’s reputation as a must-do experience on the show floor, with drivers effectively blending product education and entertainment to create memorable ride-alongs.
Running alongside it, the RAM Truck Drive introduced attendees to the power, capability, and refinement of the RAM lineup through a dynamic, multi-element course. Guests experienced key features such as suspension articulation, ground clearance, traction, and vehicle stability in real time, including climbs, off-camber elements, and uneven terrain designed to highlight performance and durability. Drivers delivered clear, confident messaging around both capability and comfort, helping shift perception of RAM trucks as both rugged and refined.
Operationally, managing two active tracks required strong coordination and communication across teams. The result was a seamless execution that maintained safety, minimized wait times, and delivered a consistent guest experience across both activations. Together, Camp Jeep and the RAM Truck Drive created a powerful dual-brand presence, maximizing engagement and reinforcing the strength and versatility of the Stellantis portfolio in a highly competitive show environment.
