How do you like your horsepower? Four-wheeled, four-footed or both?

The Ram Truck brand says now you can have it all with the Kentucky Derby® Limited Edition of the 2019 Ram 1500, in celebration of this year’s 144th “Run for the Roses.”

This year also marks the Ram Truck brand’s ninth year as Official Truck of Churchill Downs®, and the first year the brand is offering horse owners, horse lovers and any and all equine enthusiasts a chance to own a special-edition Kentucky Derby Ram 1500.

The prized thoroughbreds taking the field on May 5th represent the cream of horseracing competitiveness. The Ram 1500 Kentucky Derby Edition also stands out in its field offering no-compromise capability, durability and safety that includes four-corner auto-leveling air suspension and blind-spot monitor with automatic trailer detection.

 

 

‘Thoroughbred’ luxury runs throughout, starting with the unique Kentucky Derby “Run for the Roses” fender graphics. Wear your Kentucky Derby Special Edition ‘colors’ proudly with six exterior colors to choose from, including a new Ivory White Tri Coat paint option.

 

 

Luxury appointments also include an exclusive Uconnect 12-inch touchscreen radio with Sirius SM 360L with navigation, power-retracting running boards, premium full-leather front and rear reclining seats with heating and cooling, and genuine wood and metal trim.

 

 

The Ram Kentucky Derby Edition is available now in 4×2 or 4×4 Crew Cab models with a 5ft.-7-in. bed length. And, like all Ram trucks, the Kentucky Derby Edition is a real workhorse, capable of towing up to 12,750 pounds properly equipped.
