WHEN IT COMES TO QUALITY, WE'RE DRIVEN.
Our events cover all components and systems. The reasoning behind
such comprehensive testing is as unexpected as the brutality of the
events themselves. Instead of starting with a method to test Ram at
the limits of performance, we start by considering all the various
drivers and uses of a Ram pickup in everyday life — and then we design
events to test that usage to the extreme. So when you're on gravel,
cobblestones, or serpentine mountainous roads, know that we've been
there. When you're towing a trailer uphill, know that we've done that.
Time after time. For more, visit us at dodge.com/ram/durability

1 THE STEPPED HILL CLIMB: SUSPENSION, STEERING, DRIVETRAIN
You'll probably never take on a road this tough, but if you do — we've already
been there. Engine, transmission, steering components and all suspension
elements are subject to treatment sympathetically described as "brutal."
This is a Power Wagon exclusive event.
2 CROSSING THE RUBICON: THE MOST SEVERE OFF-ROAD CAPABILITIES
Yes, the boulders are a replica of the Rubicon Trail in central California. And yes,
we'll put a Ram Power Wagon
®
on it day after day, to test it all: brakes,
transmission, transfer cases and axles, along with all ancillary components,
including shocks and skid plates.
3 COBBLESTONE PATH: SUSPENSION AND DURABILITY

One of the many events used to continuously improve the quality and
longevity of Ram: a series of random and uneven surfaces. By compressing the
testing, we can achieve the customer equivalent of 150,000 miles on these
surfaces; it's ideal for tuning a suspension to critical tolerances.
4 MAKING THE GRADE: TRANSMISSION AND TOWING,
UNDER A CRITICAL LOAD
We expect you to be pulling a fully loaded trailer uphill in your Dodge Ram —
which makes our mountain testing crucial to performance to refi ne the towing
and hauling capabilities of all Ram pickups.
