Did you miss the “ I Love The 90s” Tour at Bayfront Festival Park on September 3rd? It sure was fun, wasn’t it? Live music is back in the Twin Ports. Whether it is a local cover band or a huge international act, we waited months to experience what has been missing in our lives. So have the bands! In fact, Ram has put together a Back To Live Tour featuring the BandVan – a hardworking ProMaster capable of carrying band members and their gear from venue to venue. more The tour will feature five emerging artists who will document their journey of reconnecting with each other and with music fans. You can view their content on RamBandVan.com and on Ram’s official YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter channels. Just follow the hashtag #RamBandVan. Each Ram BandVan will have SiriusXM activated to keep tabs on what’s happening in the world of music. That includes the Volume channel (SiriusXM 106), the station where the talk is on music – featuring Mark Goodman (former original MTV VJ), Eddie Trunk, Lori Majewski, Lindsay Parker, and other hosts that covered the music business inside and out. The tour launched in conjunction with a Ram advertising campaign featuring Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl. It also coincides with a feature-length documentary directed by Grohl called “ What Drives Us” about band life on the road. Here’s a piece of trivia: Did you know that Grohl still owns the band’s original Dodge Ram van. Before they got their first record deal, they toured in a red extended length 1990s Ram Van across the country – known as Big Red Delicious. It now sits at the Foo Fighters studio in Los Angeles. Speaking of the Foo Fighters, their opening act, Radkey, will be the first Ram BandVan act featured on this tour. If you’re a band looking for a van, or a business that could use a fleet of one or more Ram ProMaster vans, contact us at Superior Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and we can assist you in getting one soon!

The J.D. Power Initial Quality Study is one of the most important indicators on how well our vehicles hold up within the first year of ownership. Our work has paid off! It is great news to learn that the Ram and Dodge brands ranked in first and second place in this year’s Initial Quality Study.

Power. The Ram 1500 also scored very well in its segment. more But wait, there's more! Dodge placed second, which continues the brand’s transformation into one with unrivaled quality, as shown in last year’s Initial Quality Survey. This was bolstered by the Dodge Charger’s standing in its segment in the survey. J.D. Power surveyed new-vehicle buyers about their first three months of ownership and tracked problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) to measure the performance of 32 brands. Compared with 2020’s results, Ram’s industry-leading total improved by 13 PP100 to 128. Dodge was next with 139, five PP100 fewer than its nearest competitors. The Jeep Gladiator also led its segment in the study. In fact, the Gladiator, along with strong study showings by the Grand Cherokee, helped Jeep to achieve a score of 149. This puts them 13 PP100 better than the industry average of 162. Also, the Chrysler 300 scored very well in this survey.
