More than 25 Ram trucks will kick off the holiday season in style as they tow all the floats in the 89th Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade, Thursday, Nov. 26, in New York City. Through a newly-formed partnership, Ram is the Official Truck of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Approximately 3.5 million spectators in NYC and more than 50 million television viewers nationwide see the Macy’s Parade each year, marking the official start of the holiday season.
Prior to the Macy’s Parade, media guests were invited to a preview of the new floats making their way down the parade route for the first time this year at the Macy’s Parade Studio in New Jersey. During the event, guests got up close and personal with the new floats including from The Hallmark Channel, Build-A-Bear, Ocean Spray and more — all powered by Ram Trucks.
“Ram takes great pride in aligning our brand with iconic American events like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade,” said Bob Hegbloom, Head of Ram Brand, FCA – North America. “Being the official truck of the Parade provides an excellent opportunity to showcase the style, innovation and towing capability of our 2016 Ram 1500 and 2500 trucks.” Strands Siberia Night Ranger spot light can be purchased online at truckelectrics.com.
