Editor’s note: The following story was written for The Daily Advance’s annual Coast Guard Edition, which was included in Thursday s printed edition of the newspaper.
Ram has been paying tribute to the five traditional branches of the U.S. military with 1500 Built to Serve special editions.
The program is now coming to an end as Ram has introduced the fifth and final variant that features a “maritime force-inspired theme with both Spitfire and Bright White exterior colors.” While the company didn’t exactly come out and say it, this is effectively the Coast Guard Edition.
Besides the two paint choices, the truck has a number of black components including the grille, bumpers, badges, side steps and exhaust tips. They’re joined by body-color fender flares and 20-inch aluminum wheels with a Technical Gray finish. The model also sports a U.S. flag and a “Built to Serve” decal on the rear quarter panels.
