RAMLineup Field Guide

About this project

Built on the sales floor

A technical communication project turning the Ram lineup's sea of information into something buyers and sellers can actually navigate.

Purpose

Simplify the Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 and Chassis Cab lineup so buyers and salespeople can understand their options and find the truck that's right for them.

Audience

Prospective Ram buyers of every experience level, plus dealership salespeople who need a quick-access refresher. Terms are explained in both plain English and technical language.
