Stolen Ram Mechanical Bull
During the Roadkill Nights event in Michigan, unknown individuals stole the Bucking Hemi mechanical bull, which was used to promote the return of Hemi V8 engines in the Ram truck lineup. The installation, featuring a massive ram’s head and a V8-style saddle, debuted back in June, but after the recent event, it was dismantled and taken away.
Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis appealed to automotive enthusiasts for help in finding the stolen object. The company is also collaborating with law enforcement to recover the Bucking Hemi. In his statement, Kuniskis stated:
This is an unprecedented case. Our Bucking Hemi was stolen on Saturday evening. The search is ongoing, and we will not stop until we get it back.

Ram is calling on the public to spread information about the theft. Previous examples, such as the story with former Top Gear host Chris Harris, show that automotive enthusiasts can effectively assist in searches. His BMW M5 was found almost undamaged later the same day after the theft.
Although the fate of the Bucking Hemi remains unknown, Ram has not lost hope. They continue to engage both enthusiasts and law enforcement agencies to recover the unique promotional exhibit.
