As part of the Kentucky Derby treatment, the Ram HD includes full-leather seats, genuine wood and metal trim throughout the cabin, and Greystone stitching for the Black and Saddle Brown upholstery. The exterior stands out with the help of the premium billet-appearance grille and body-color bumpers. In total, customers can choose from seven exterior finishes (Patriot Blue, Max Steel, Granite Crystal, Diamond Black Crystal, Delmonico Red, Pearl White, and Bright White).
The engine of choice for the heavy-duty Ram truck is the turbo diesel Cummins 6.7 performance engine. Capable of more than 1,000 pound-feet of torque, this powerplant offers up to 35,100 pounds of towing capability. The 6.4-liter HEMI V8 serves as the entry-level choice in this segment, and customers of the Kentucky Derby can choose between rear- or four-wheel drive, Mega Cab or Crew Cab, and single rear wheel or dual rear wheel. As far as bed lengths are concerned, options include 6” 4’ and 8″.
