Mopar, Chrysler Group LLC's service, parts and customer-care brand, will be taking to the Monster Truck Racing Series arena with the new "Mopar Muscle" Ram monster truck beginning with the Monster Jam event in Detroit on Jan. 11.

The Mopar-sponsored machine joins the Hall Brothers Racing's championship winning trucks "Raminator" and "Rammunition" for six Monster Jam events in 2014. The Ram Truck brand has proudly sponsored the team since 2002.
Standing an imposing 10 feet high and weighing 10,300 pounds, Mopar's 2000-horsepower monster truck is based on a 2014 Ram Heavy Duty truck. It is powered by a 565 cubic inch supercharged version of the iconic Gen II 426 HEMI engine, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2014. Mopar Muscle will sport a special orange 50th anniversary HEMI logo, launching a year-long tribute by Mopar to commemorate the introduction of the engine that has since seen much success and strongly impacted both the motorsport and automotive industries.
