You know that:
- RAM Trucks is an American manufacturer of mid-weight pickup trucks with the Stellantis group.
- The now defunct manufacturer Graham-Paige played a large role in the creation of this vehicle category, which first proposed the concept of a closed cabin and a small body in 1927, which we now call the Pickup.
- The independent RAM Trucks brand was founded by the American Chrysler only in 2010 in the state of Michigan.The goal of the newly founded brand is to develop and produce reliable and "rough" cars for real pick-up fans.
- RAM cars are indelibly written into American culture. The company received the biggest unwanted advertisement in 2018 during the closely watched Super Bowl match, when the manufacturer broadcast to viewers an advertisement with clips from a speech by Martin Luther King, who, however, himself often criticized advertisements and the consumerist way of life. This event started a social discussion, many Internet memes disappeared, and every famous American felt the need to comment on this event. The unintended effect was a giant advertisement for RAM cars and a rocketing increase in sales.
- The SSV Interceptor special edition cars for the US Police are equipped with enlarged brake discs, increased cooling, alternator and fixed rear windows with defrosting compared to the civilian version.
- In the interior, there is an enlarged display that replaces a laptop, a communication device and a warning system against access to the car from the back or from the sides. There are two long weapons in the left side compartment of the cargo area and a medical kit in the right.

From the service record for the maintenance of police vehicle RAM 1500, Billings - Montana 2019 :
"The vehicle RAM 1500 registration number 3262 was taken in for servicing following a crew alert that after the engine had warmed up there were cyclical sounds of a broken compressor belt. After a proper examination, two Ascaphus frogs were discovered in the area behind the battery and were breeding after the engine had warmed up with a loud croaking sound typical of this species. The fault was rectified and the amphibians returned to the wild."
