Someone Stole Ram's V8 Bucking Hemi Mechanical Bull
First, Harambe, then Peanut the Squirrel, and now, now some terrible person has taken from us Ram's V8-powered mechanical bull, a.k.a. 'Bucking Hemi.'
Revealed as a 'symbol of protest,' Ram's new V8 logo is as macho as can be, and rather fitting for a fun carnival ride at the yearly Roadkill Nights events in Pontiac, Michigan. The mechanical bull V8 put in several days of buckin' duty last weekend, but it was reportedly stolen during disassembly.
'What began as a bold symbol of horsepower and rebellion has taken an unfortunate turn. On the evening of Sunday, August 9, at approximately 9:45 pm, 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,' a company spokesperson told The Drive via email.
The automaker claims that while this is a tremendous loss, it remains undeterred and is asking the public for help finding its beloved robotic mascot. And for what it's worth, a spokesperson has confirmed that this is not a PR stunt, so yeah, Bucking Hemi is missing for real.
Have you seen a parted-out Hemi V8-powered mechanical bull that looks like a robotic Ram? If so, hit up your local authorities and also let us know!

'This Motor Might Say Land Rover…:' Mechanic Lifts the Hood of a Luxury SUV. Then He Reveals Who Actually Makes the Engine
Land Rover owners expect rugged British style and refinement. But lift the hood on certain models and you might find a surprise stamped right into the metal: Ford Motor Company. Mechanic and automotive-minded creator Larry Law ( @ ) is all smiles in a viral clip where he reveals the provenance of Land Rover's critical components to potential owners. 'This motor might say Land Rover, but on the side of it, it says Ford Motor Company. So you thinking you getting some kind of Porsche,' he says while looking under the hood of a Land Rover sitting in his repair bay. 'This is a 5.0. This is a 302 Ford.' When Ford and Land Rover Shared Parts In the world of automotive manufacturing, luxury brands sometimes borrow engineering from broader platforms, especially when cost-sharing or corporate ownership comes into play. Following Ford's 2000 acquisition of Land Rover , several V‑8 engines in Land Rover models were produced at Ford facilities. The AJ‑V8 family, designed by Jaguar, is a perfect example. Despite its British design, production occurred within a dedicated 'plant‑within‑a‑plant' at Ford's Bridgend Engine Plant in Wales. Trending Now 'That's Your Sign Not to Sell It': Man Is on His Way to Sell His 1966 Mustang. Then It Breaks Down in the Middle of the Highway Woman Signs for a Ford at the Dealership. Then They Call Her Back and Say They Miscalculated the Price and She Owes $3,800 More The Bridgend plant , active from 1980 to 2020, produced over 22 million engines during its lifetime and served Ford, Jaguar, Volvo, and Land Rover operations. In August 2020, Land Rover confirmed it would shift engine production in‑house after Bridgend's closure. The 5.0-liter engine that Larry refers to is most likely the AJ-V8 (AJ133) , which powered certain Range Rover models between 2009 and 2012. While its displacement matches Ford's classic 302 cubic-inch V-8, the AJ-V8 is a distinct design , making it more of a cousin than a direct descendant. Automotive enthusiasts point out that, although these engines were built in Ford facilities, their internals were explicitly developed for Jaguar and Land Rover applications. The AJ-V8 also features direct fuel injection and a hemispherical-like combustion chamber, which the mechanic likened to Chrysler's 'Hemi' design. While the comparison captures the general shape and injector placement, it's more a colorful analogy than a technical match. Many of the Land Rover models using this engine were also paired with Ford-sourced automatic transmissions, underscoring the level of component sharing between the two brands during and after Ford's ownership. Sharing powertrain components is a strategy that demonstrates smart economics. By using a common engine platform, manufacturers reduce development costs and leverage proven systems. Ford's use of the Bridgend facility exemplified this: Jaguar (and later Land Rover) could tap into existing production lines without setting up a completely separate factory. After the Bridgend closure, JLR invested in its engine production capabilities, bringing operations to its Wolverhampton Engine Manufacturing Centre. Why It Matters to Owners For Land Rover owners, the connection to Ford has real-world implications for maintenance, repair, and brand perception. On the positive side, using Ford-sourced internals can make it easier to source replacement parts , particularly in markets with an extensive Ford service network. Many independent mechanics are already familiar with Ford V-8 systems, which can translate into shorter repair times and potentially lower labor costs. The components themselves also carry a track record from years of use in other vehicles, lending them a degree of proven durability . However, the discovery that a luxury SUV's engine bears Ford branding can be unsettling for some buyers who expect entirely bespoke engineering under the Land Rover badge. Paying premium prices for a vehicle that shares significant mechanical DNA with less expensive models also raises questions about perceived value . However, in practice, the integration and refinement often remain firmly in the luxury category. Stay informed with our newsletter every weekday back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . The Ford–Land Rover collaboration is far from unique in the automotive world. Across the industry, luxury automakers have long relied on sister companies or corporate group resources to source components and share technology. Aston Martin, for example, has incorporated Ford-derived switchgear and electronics into several of its models, a legacy of Ford's former partial ownership stake in the brand. Bentley, meanwhile, has built vehicles on Volkswagen Group modular platforms and used VW-sourced powertrains, blending high-end craftsmanship with shared engineering foundations. Such practices are rooted in economics. Component and platform sharing allows manufacturers to maintain brand identity while achieving the cost efficiencies of large-scale production. For owners curious about their own vehicle's mechanical heritage, there are several ways to trace an engine's origin. VIN decoding tools , available online or through dealerships, can identify the specific engine type and where it was built. A visual inspection of the engine block may also reveal stamped markings such as 'Ford Motor Company' that point directly to its provenance. Additionally, reviewing factory service manuals, official parts catalogs, or detailed service histories can uncover information about part suppliers and manufacturing sources, offering a clearer picture of the vehicle's lineage.

Ram's HEMI mechanical bull theft was a hoax, says sheriff
Michael Bouchard, an Oakland County sheriff in Michigan, is calling "BS" on Ram's claim that its mechanical bull thrill ride was stolen outside of Detroit in Pontiac last weekend. In a Tuesday, Aug. 12, news release from Ram, the company said the $34,000 covering for its "Bucking Hemi" thrill ride — a mechanical bull fashioned to look like a Ram HEMI engine — was stolen as they were breaking down the set of Roadkill Nights, an annual drag racing event held in downtown Pontiac, on Saturday, Aug. 9. The mechanical bull has been part of a Ram marketing campaign, as the brand touts a return to NASCAR and the return of the HEMI V8 engines to its vehicles. The Ram brand said it "is actively collaborating with authorities" and encouraged people to contact local law enforcement regarding the theft if they know anything. They even posted missing flyers on social media. Best summer auto shows: How the Woodward Dream Cruise still drives Detroit's car culture forward Tim Kuniskis, the CEO of Ram, said in the news release, "This is bull----." "Well, it may indeed have been BS," wrote the Oakland County Sheriff's Office in response, late Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 13. Bouchard, whose deputies responded to the scene of Roadkill Nights after receiving a larceny report, said Ram's claim that the mechanical bull was stolen is false. Bouchard said his detectives have concluded the "theft never occurred," alleging that the mechanical bull cover was in Ram's possession the entire time. 'The company never actually lost the bull,' Bouchard said in a news release. 'I find this to be very frustrating and a tremendous waste of valuable investigative time." While the hunt for the stolen bull has concluded, the Sheriff's Office is now considering charges. "Now, we're pivoting to see if a crime was committed by the filing of a false police report,' Bouchard said. A representative at Ram did not immediately respond to a Free Press phone call seeking comment. Liam Rappleye covers Stellantis and the UAW. Contact him: LRappleye@
