When you are scaling mountains, you need durability, strength, and compact power. The mountain ram (Ovis canadensis) is perfect. With heavy loads, even a four-legged animal might become top-heavy and topple over. The bighorn might be the choice of Sherpas.
Sherpas are well-known mountaineers along the Tibet and Nepal border of the Himalayan Mountains. They are "sure-footed," tough and have a strong metabolism. They are used to the thin mountain air and can last for a long time.
The Ram truck has many of these same attributes. It is powerful due to its Cummins diesel engine and 50,000-psi high-strength steel frame. The top model has a payload of 7,390 lbs. and 900 lb-ft torque. Add Variable Valve Timing (VVT) to optimize performance.
And just like the Sherpas, the Ram truck is long-lasting. For full-sized trucks still on the road after 22 years, Ram is #1. So Sherpas might choose Ram trucks.
