Ram Truck announced the second installment of its “Built to Serve” limited-edition models geared towards first-responder services. Ram is honoring these heroes with a new Ram 1500 Built to Serve Emergency Medical Service (EMS) model.
This latest Built to Serve model honors the frontline heroes who provide emergency medical services and save lives every day. Production of the Ram 1500 Built to Serve EMS model will begin at the Sterling Heights (Michigan) Assembly Plant in the fourth quarter of 2022.
“The Ram 1500 Built to Serve EMS edition is our way of honoring and expressing deep gratitude to the frontline heroes who serve or have served our country,” said Mike Koval Jr., Ram brand CEO, Stellantis. “At Ram, we are pleased to recognize the important work emergency medical service workers provide to their communities every day.”
The Ram 1500 Built to Serve EMS edition is offered in two specially selected exterior paint colors that evoke the spirit, mission, and history of that service. This EMS-inspired Ram 1500 ‘Built to Serve’ edition is offered in Hydro Blue and Bright White exterior colors, with a black interior with blue accent stitching.
Ram 1500 Built to Serve trucks feature other unique interior and exterior features that set them apart, including a United States flag and a Built to Serve decal on each of the rear quarter panels.
Ram’s Built to Serve trucks get additional stylish exterior cues, including a unique treatment consisting of an all-black grille and surround, black bumpers, black-bezel premium lighting, and 20-inch aluminum wheels with a unique-to-the-edition Technical Gray finish. Body-color wheel flares also accent the exterior. Complementing the look are black badges, black wheel-to-wheel side steps, and dual four-inch black exhaust tips.
Inside, these Built to Serve trucks represent each of the three main emergency services, accented with unique, corresponding color stitching. The second installment of the second phase of Built to Serve trucks offers a blue accent stitching.

Built to Serve trucks can have a U.S. flag and a Built to Serve decal in the interior.

"Built to Serve" instrument panel badge.
