Ram Truck Experience Comes to the Michigan State Fair

August 29, 2017 , Novi, Mich. -  Labor Day weekend is just around the corner and for those looking for something fun to do, look no further than one of Michigan’s best festivals – the Michigan State Fair. Ram Truck, the presenting sponsor, will add to the excitement by inviting attendees to experience the power, capabilities and performance of the award-winning Ram truck lineup at the Ram Truck Experience off-road test track. 

The Ram Truck Experience will be open during all five days of the State Fair, from August 31 to September 4, making Ram’s test track one of the many attractions for State Fair attendees to enjoy.
 
Participants will be given rides with a performance driver in Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks. The experience includes an obstacle course that demonstrates the various truck capabilities, including a 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 hat.
 
Ram recently signed a three-year contract to be the presenting sponsor of the Michigan State Fair. 

“Ram is proud to be a partner of the Michigan State Fair, a long-standing tradition that celebrates the importance of farmers and farming communities to our state,” said Jeff Hines, Director of the Great Lakes Business Center – FCA US LLC. “The Ram Truck Experience test track is always a crowd pleaser and we welcome the opportunity to bring this exciting event to the fair so participants can experience the power and capability of Ram trucks.”
 
There is no additional fee for State Fair attendees to participate in the experience.

Ram has been a long-time supporter of farmers and the American agricultural industry. Many Ram truck owners are farmers or live in farming communities. They work and live in rural America and provide vital resources to our nation. The uniquely American “farmer spirit” conveys the spirit of the Ram Truck brand. On a daily basis, both the Ram brand and farmers value courage, dignity and setting examples through hard work.

About the Michigan State Fair 
The original Michigan State Fair, which debuted in Detroit in 1849, was one of the first statewide fair events to take place in the United States. It moved permanently to its home at the Michigan State Fairgrounds on Woodward Avenue in 1905 and was staged there until 2009, when it was discontinued by a resolution of the state government, due to ongoing budget issues. The Michigan State Fair, LLC is now produced by a private entity, and presented by Ram Truck, an FCA US brand. The 2017 Michigan State Fair has a deep commitment to the ongoing development and support of agriculture, small business and family entertainment, while preserving the legacy and beloved traditions of the original State Fair.
