Today at the New York International #auto Show, the #ram #truck brand unveiled a limited edition of its new 2019 #ram Heavy Duty to commemorate the 145th running of the Kentucky Derby®.
The 2019 #ram #heavyduty #kentuckyderby Edition is fittingly based on the brand’s top Limited trim and features segment-leading capability and technology.
The May 4 running of the race marks the 10-year anniversary for #ram as the Official #truck of Churchill Downs® and the #kentuckyderby.
“The #kentuckyderby remains one of America’s most recognized sporting events,” said Reid Bigland, Head of #ram Brand. “This hardworking #truck is packed with exclusive technology, luxury and good looks that make it fit to wear the #kentuckyderby name.”
The #ram #heavyduty #kentuckyderby Edition trucks include exclusive trailer-towing content that makes them ideal tow vehicles. Features, including 360-degree surround-view camera with trailer-reverse guidance, fifth-wheel/gooseneck prep, active hitch grid lines, air suspension with bed lowering, Forward Collision Warning-Plus with trailer braking, bed step and DOT safety kit, allow customers to tow their precious cargo with confidence.
The #ram #kentuckyderby Edition also includes Ram’s segment-leading Uconnect 12-inch touchscreen radio with Sirius XM 360L and navigation, power-retracting running boards and Blind-spot Monitoring.
The #kentuckyderby Edition also includes premium full-leather front and rear seats (rear reclining on Mega Cab) combined with genuine wood and metal trim throughout. Uniquely-colored seating features a Black and Saddle Brown hybrid of Limited and Longhorn trims, accented with medium Greystone stitching and piping.
The exterior includes an exclusive, premium billet-appearance grille and body-color bumpers. Buyers can choose from seven exterior colors: Bright White, Pearl White, Delmonico Red, Diamond Black Crystal, Granite Crystal, Max Steel or Patriot Blue.
The 2019 #ram #heavyduty breaks through the 1,000 lb.-ft. barrier with the powerful 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel and offers the highest towing capability in the segment at 35,100 pounds. With that in mind, not all the #kentuckyderby special-edition features are aesthetic.
The 2019 #ram #heavyduty #kentuckyderby Edition is available on 2500 or 3500 Limited, Cummins 6.7-liter Turbo Diesel I-6 or 6.4-liter HEMI® V-8, 4×2 or 4×4, Mega Cab or Crew Cab, single rear wheel or dual rear wheel with 6-ft.-4-in. or 8-ft. bed lengths. Dual rear wheel models include rear park assist with fender coverage.
Base price is $66,890 plus $1,695 destination charge for #ram 2500 and $68,240 plus $1,695 destination charge for #ram 3500.
The #ram #heavyduty #kentuckyderby Edition is on sale now. Production is limited to 1,000 units.
