Big and bold as it is, it'd be hard to miss a Ram
truck. But those looking to stand out even more and forgo the chrome for a
sportier look may be intrigued by this latest special edition. The 2018 Ram
1500 Hydro Blue Sport is pretty much what its name says. It's a Ram 1500 pickup
in a special shade of blue and a sporty appearance.
The Hydro Blue follows the Sublime green and Copper
editions launched earlier this year, and the Ignition Orange from late last
year – and will be the last one released before 2017 draws to a close.
Apart from the vibrant blue paintjob, the Hydro
edition features black hood graphics, Sport grille with black billet inserts
and lettering. The vibrant, almost French Racing Blue paintjob is offset by
black accents throughout: the hood graphics, billet grille and lettering,
badges, headlamp bezels they're all done up in black. But the front fascia,
rear bumper, side mirrors, and door handles are all color-keyed.
The wheels are chromed (20 inches on 4x4s and 22s on
4x2s) or available in black, while the interior is all done up to match the
outside with blue accents. The special edition is based on the Ram 1500 Sport
with the crew cab, short bed, and 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Only 2,000 examples will
be offered, with an MSRP of US$ 46,060 (plus US$ 1,395 destination).
