"Our Ram trucks are built to serve, and we are honored to serve the iconic parade with our full portfolio of award-winning trucks to pull these floats through the streets of New York City in this historical event that brings so much joy into the hearts of millions across the nation."

Ram will not only help transport the floats down the parade route, but will also assist in moving other parade materials needed to produce the annual celebration, from tool containers to costumes and much more, in the lead up to the start of the procession on Thanksgiving Day. The Ram Truck brand provided the Macy's parade with more than 50 trucks and Ram ProMaster commercial vans, many of which are used for behind-the-scenes functions leading up to the parade start.
