1. Haul Your Harvest in Style
Autumn means it’s time for pumpkin patches, corn mazes, and family outings. With the Ram 1500’s available 12,750-pound towing capacity and class-leading payload options, hauling everything from hay bales to trailers is a breeze. Local spots like McCall’s Pumpkin Patch in Moriarty or Wagner’s Farmland Experience in Corrales are family favorites. Load up your truck bed with pumpkins, local produce, or a 12 foot skeleton—Ram’s multifunction tailgate and available RamBox Cargo Management System make it easy to stay organized and secure your haul.
2. Hit the Mountain Roads for Fall Color
When the leaves start turning gold and crimson, there’s no better time for a scenic drive. The Ram 1500’s smooth suspension and powerful engine lineup—including the legendary HEMI® V8—make winding mountain roads comfortable and fun.
Plan a day trip up to the Jemez Mountains, Sandia Crest, or Ruidoso’s mountain trails. The 4x4 capability and adaptive ride height options keep you in control on uneven terrain, while the comfortable cabin with heated seats ensures a warm, cozy ride when the evening chill sets in.
3. The Perfect Truck for Camping Season
Fall is camping season in New Mexico, and your Ram is built for it. From Elephant Butte Lake to Hyde Memorial State Park, you can easily tow your camper, boat, or ATVs without breaking a sweat.With available features like the Trailer Reverse Steering Control and Integrated Trailer Brake Controller, hitching and maneuvering your trailer has never been easier. And when the stars come out, use your truck’s built-in power outlets to keep lights, heaters, or a small grill running through the night.
4. Tailgate the Right Way
Football season and fall festivals are here—and Ram owners know how to throw a great tailgate party. The Ram 1500’s multifunction tailgate, available 60/40 split doors, and locking RamBox storage let you store everything from snacks to speakers.At the next Lobo or New Mexico State game, your Ram can be the ultimate tailgating station. Add a few fall touches—like themed décor, blankets, and hot apple cider—to turn your truck bed into a cozy gathering spot for friends and family.
