Meadowland of Carmel proudly supports the healthcare workers in Carmel and all of New York and beyond. Healthcare workers have the tremendous responsibility of caring for our loved ones when they need medical attention. From the surgeon and doctor to the nurse and the orderly, these men and women often go above and beyond to ensure the health and well-being of their patients. Those patients are our family and friends, so thank you.

Many healthcare workers perform their jobs with a happy heart, satisfied by the simple fact that they help people feel better. However, healthcare workers get asked to work long hours on challenging assignments in many healthcare environments, more so today than in years past. To combat this, many look to stress-relieving treatments and activities. In our small way, we believe the Ram truck lineup can help. Here’s how.

Comfort on the Road

Whether you’re heading in for a double shift or just clocking out from one, you need a comfortable ride. The Ram 1500 has more luxury features than any other truck in its class. In addition, each Ram 1500 model features a distinctive style with its color patterns, premium materials, and amenities. If you’re interested in a unique Ram truck, Meadowland of Carmel can custom-build your Ram 1500.

Enjoy the look and feel of the Ram 1500 Limited’s Natura Plus leather upholstery in Indigo and Light Frost Beige or black. You’ll find Black and Cattle Tan leather on the Limited Longhorn. Rebel models come with premium cloth and vinyl standard with an option for black leather, each with the Rebel logo prominently embossed.

Ram’s Laramie trim comes with two Bristol leather options, a Mountain Brown with Light Frost Beige trim or black. The Big Horn and Lone Star trims have four color choices for their premium cloth interiors. You can choose between Black with Light Mountain Brown, Black with Diesel Gray, Black with Light Frost Beige, and Black on Black.

The power-adjustable seats feature heating for those cold winter months and ventilation for the warm summers. The four-way power lumbar support function helps ease your aches after a long shift on your feet.

Convenience

Ram thought of everything to make your life a little easier. Remote start capability enables you to warm up or cool down your Ram truck before entry. Keyless entry and push-button start features get you on the road faster. Ram even illuminated the cup holders for those pre-dawn commutes, so you don’t have to fumble in the dark for your coffee.

Your in-vehicle tech runs through the 12-inch touchscreen powered by Ram’s Uconnect system with available navigation. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability enable you to sync your smart devices. Now you can make calls, answer texts, stream your favorite playlists, and more hands-free using intuitive voice commands.

Your steering wheel features all your audio, infotainment, and driver-assist controls to limit distractions. You can drive safer with the head-up display that projects critical driving data to the windshield before you. The head-up display also helps avoid distraction, keeping your eyes focused forward on the road.

After a long day caring for patients, you can relax and unwind while listening to your favorite music on the premium Harman Kardon audio system with 19 speakers. Aided by Ram’s noise cancellation technology, you can enjoy a truly immersive listening experience as though you were sitting in the front row at a concert.

Forgot to charge your phone before you left the house? No problem. The Ram’s media center comes with three easy-to-access auxiliary ports and four high-speed USB charging outlets to get your phone powered up for the day ahead.

The reconfigurable center console helps you stay organized on the road. It has the space for a 15-inch laptop, hanging file folders, and a Type C high-speed USB charging port.

If you’re interested in saving money while still enjoying these convenience features, you can take advantage of our certified pre-owned inventory.

Safety Systems

The Ram 1500 has the honor of winning the Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for the last three years and is the only repeat winner in its class. It did so by offering a suite of driver-assist systems that use radar and optical sensors to monitor your Ram 1500’s surroundings.

These systems include forward collision warning with active braking that scans the way ahead and alerts you to potential hazards. Should you fail to react in time, this system will engage emergency braking to help mitigate or avoid a possible accident. In addition, the emergency pedestrian braking system works with the forward collision warning system and can detect when a pedestrian enters the roadway.

A blind-spot monitoring system uses sensors to alert you when a vehicle enters your blind spots, helping you change lanes safely. The rear cross-path detection system uses similar technology to notify you when vehicles approach you from either side while you back up.

Adaptive cruise control with stop and go enables you to maintain a preset speed and distance while driving in traffic. This system slows your Ram 1500 down as the traffic slows before you, even to a complete stop. Then, when the way ahead clears, it returns you to your preset speed and distance. This helps reduce driver fatigue, especially on longer commutes.

The LaneSense system uses cameras mounted high on your Ram’s windshield to track your truck while driving within marked lanes. The system alerts you when it detects an unintentional drift and can provide gentle steering correction to return you to your lane.

Ram’s park assist system enables you to find parking spaces your truck will fit into and guide you into them. The system works in parallel and perpendicular parking spaces. Simply activate the system and follow the prompts to brake or accelerate while the system steers for you.

At Meadowland of Carmel, we understand and support our local healthcare workers. Your commitment to caring for our friends and family hasn’t gone unnoticed or unappreciated. That’s why we recommend the Ram 1500 as the best truck for healthcare workers and have special offers designed to make ownership a reality.
