Clifford Murray, one of the of Automotive Technology program's instructors, said the retired vehicle will serve as a valuable learning tool for students in the program.
"Students will be able to gain hands-on experience working on the engine," he said.
When Murray learned that the program was going to receive the truck, he approached the local dealer, Summerside Chrysler Dodge.
"I contacted the dealership to see if they could help out with the shipping costs, instead they offered to cover the complete cost. They even made the arrangements to get the vehicle shipped here," he said, noting that the dealership has been very supportive of the Automotive Technology program for many years.
Dick Ripley, President and General Manager of Summerside Chrysler Dodge, said the dealership was pleased to be able to arrange for the trucks delivery.
"I am happy that we were able to help out the Automotive Technology program," he said.
"Having students work on a vehicle like a Dodge Ram gives them a chance to learn the latest in advanced engineering, design technology and mechanical application and makes them better employees when they apply their skills in the real world."
