There will always be a segment of the pickup-truck-buying public that will be about getting noticed and showing off what they own. Right now, the company doing the best job of feeding that piece of its buying segment seems to be Ram.
Ram recently pulled the wraps off its latest special edition at the 2017 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show in the form of the 2018 Ram 1500 Hydro Blue Sport. As you might expect, there's a lot to look at here.
The limited production of about 2,000 units will be offered in either 4×4 or 4×2 crew-cab configurations, with the former sporting 20-inch gloss-black wheels and the latter 22s. All Hydro Blue Sports will have a monochromatic theme over the exterior of the truck, meaning all bumpers, door handles and side mirrors will be blue, with a twin-nostril grille and blackout inserts, black Ram tailgate lettering and a black Sport performance hood decal.
Inside, the special edition will have color-matched stitching on the high-back seats, steering wheel, and dash and center console, with a dramatic blue Ram's head on the head restraints. Other accents include blue anodized inserts around the instrument panel, center console and in the door trim.
Among the various options to the new package include leather seats, chrome side steps, four-corner air suspension and a RamBox lockable storage bed. The starting price for the new pickup trim package is $47,455 with the $1,395 destination fee. Hydro Blue Sports will be in dealerships by the end of November.
