Taking vantage of the myriad Star Wars jokes connected May 4th, the Detroit motortruck marque captioned their video by saying a caller “force” is coming, earlier going connected to supply a day conscionable 5 days from now. Hey, astatine slightest with little than a week betwixt teaser and reveal, Ram trounces Toyota by refusing to play the stretch-it-out-for-months game.
