About TV Spots and Music Video
Ram and Corbin collaborated to create both TV commercials and a full length music video for “Let’s Ride.” The “Summer Nights” and “Carnival” spots and music video tell the story of a young couple sneaking out in their Ram 1500 for a night of summertime adventures. “Summer Nights” promotes the Ram 1500’s 29 mpg highway fuel economy and shows the 8.4-inch touchscreen set to SiriusXM’s The Highway channel playing “Let’s Ride.” “Carnival” talks about how the Ram 1500 is best in towing, torque, payload and fuel economy. As it turns out, country music, Ram trucks and Easton Corbin prove to be the perfect combination for summertime fun.
The ads were created in partnership with full-service advertising agency Doner and Nashville-based G7 Entertainment Marketing.
Ram partnered with Corbin several times in the past few years. He was one of five country music artists that participated in the Ram Truck brand’s 2012 “Road to the Ram Jam” sweepstakes and concert.

As a former National FFA Organization member, Corbin made a series of visits and private concerts across the country to thank the hard-working and dedicated FFA members for all they do to further the notion that there’s a “farmer in all of us.”
