On the market for almost 4 decades, RAM trucks - formerly sold as the Dodge RAM - have always been synonymous with ruggedness and reliability; after all, more than 8 out of 10 RAMs sold in the last 30 years are still in circulation! No wonder the 2020 RAM 1500 offers more advantages than the competition, including the 2020 GMC Sierra 1500! Just one try at Bessette Granby Chrysler , your RAM dealer par excellence near Cowansville and St-Jean, will convince you!

But one thing is certain, there is a version of RAM that meets your needs perfectly!
