Ram Creates Pickup Suited for Police Use

Ram Trucks is now offering a package on its Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 making it suitable for police use. The Ram 1500 Special Service Truck is upgraded specifically for police and other first responders. 

The Ram 1500 Special Service truck is available only as a crew cab with 125 cubic feet of interior room. The doors have been modified to allow for the addition of ballistic material. The truck is powered by the 5.7 liter Hemi V8 with cylinder deactivation with 390hp. It has a six-speed automatic transmission. The truck can carry a payload of 1,455lbs and tow 10,000lbs. 

The package includes extensive additions tailored specifically to the uses of police. The package includes spark plugs that will last for over 100,000 miles and a larger oil cooler so the vehicle can idle for longer periods of time. For the additional electrical equivalent that the police need, the package also adds a 220-volt alternator. It also has the connections available to add things to the wiring harness like computers, modems or camera systems. The speedometer is certified and calibrated to help with pulling people over. For the driver's convenience it has 10-way adjustable power seats. 

The special service truck will be available starting next year.
