Les Stroud And His Ram 1500
Les Stroud, better known as Survivorman on TV, drives and talks about his Ram 1500. TV’s “Survivorman” Les Stroud knows when to seek out adventure. Whenever he is on the trail of his next television journey, or jetting down to the river for some peaceful fishing, Les is behind the wheel of his fire-engine red 2011 Ram 1500.
Piloting through the backwoods of Northern Ontario, Canada, is not as easy as one might think. You need a rough and ready truck, like a Ram, in order to traverse those hazardous mud-flows and creeks.
When asked why he purchased a Ram, Les educated us: “I’ve been driving them for a long time and I’ve never experienced any issues with them. I don’t haul tractor trailers with it. But if I got to go through rough roads, rough mud I’ve never been stuck.”
And what does his Ram 1500 say about Survivorman? “It says I’m a realist. We all lead lives of conflict, environmentally. Obviously I’m very concerned environmentally yet at the same token I drive a Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi. What does that say? It says there’s a lot of conflict here. I accept that life of conflict as we all have to. I do whatever I can. I utilize my truck minimally as much as possible.”
Les adds that even though he can start a fire in the middle of the Arctic without wood or gasoline, he is not very mechanically inclined when it comes to auto repairs. Good thing Ram offers so many great warranty options on new and pre-owned trucks.
