STOLEN! 2026 Ram Bucking Hemi Rideable Machine is Missing

The 2026 Ram Bucking Hemi Rideable Machine was stolen, yeah, really and a police report has been filed. Ram is asking for your help.

What is the 2026 Ram Bucking Hemi Rideable Machine?

This custom-built, rideable machine is shaped in Ram’s “Symbol of Protest” and was a bucking bronco ride. It had a dual-motor configuration, custom control logic with six performance settings ranging from beginner to advanced. The bucking Hemi can be controlled manually or with pre-programmed settings according to Ram.

Modes:

1.Posing operation – Hold my cell phone

2.Medium – Just got of the golf course

3.Fast -This ain’t my first rodeo

4.Greenhorn – Oh, I got this

5.Cowboy – Walk the line

6. Redneck Games – Hang on for dear life

Besides the pre-built settings, the remote operator can add their own twist to things with a control panel loaded with buttons, switches and a joystick for manual operation. A large, red and digital timer scores each rider for an accurate read on a 15-second attempt.

If you master the ride, you receive an exclusive “I rode the HEMI to redline, and it was Bucking Awesome” t-shirt that cannot be purchased.

Technical Specs:

• Dual 1hp independent motors controlled through a precision digital console operate forward angulation, and left or right movements
• 5kVA diesel generator provides stable off-grid power and operates the Bucking HEMI as a series hybrid
• Custom-built buck and spin drive system, capable of a combined 43.8 spm (spins per minute)
• Weighing in at just under 1000 pounds
• Rams-head design optimized for movement durability

The Bucking HEMI was planned to make an appearance at select Ram customer events as the brand launches its Ram 1500 with 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 this summer and the new NASCAR Truck Series campaign next year. 

Ram Bucking Hemi Stolen!

Ram issued the following statement after the Bucking Hemi was found missing:

“On the evening of Saturday, August 9 at approximately 9:45pm, following a Ram-sponsored event at Roadkill Nights in Michigan, the Bucking HEMI was stolen during disassembly. A formal report has been filed with local police and an investigation is underway.

While this is a tremendous loss for the HEMI® community, Ram remains undeterred. We ask the public to help us spread the word and assist in locating our beloved Bucking HEMI®.

Ram is actively collaborating with authorities and welcomes any information regarding the whereabouts of the stolen ride. Those with tips are encouraged to contact local law enforcement or reach out to Ram Brand directly.”

Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis was rather more blunt with his statement of the situation.

“This is bull****. Our Bucking HEMI was taken on Saturday evening. The search is officially on and we won’t stop searching until we get him back.”
