Rammunition is a 2019 Dodge RAM 2500 Power Wagon monster truck owned by Hall Bros. Racing and is driven by Kurt Kraehmer in Monster Jam & Dan Agosh for independent events. Since its debut in 2002, the truck was primarily driven by brothers Geremie and Mat Dishman until their retirements in 2010 and 2019, respectively. While Geremie continues to drive the truck as a fill-in driver, Kurt Kraehmer has served as the full-time driver of the truck since 2020. Rammunition currently serves as the teammate truck to Hotsy, and its brother truck, Raminator. The truck was used as a test bed by Hall Brothers Racing for new ideas they wanted to try. Rammunition used turf tires instead of the usual terra tires. They were lighter, but didn't always yield as much traction due to the mild tread pattern.
