If you need a pick-up truck but have a hankering for something more sporting, perhaps Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) can help you out. Just announced this week, FCA's RAM division is launching not one, but TWO new limited edition vehicles.
Based on the RAM 1500, the Ignition Orange Sport and Black Sport each offer their own take on what it means to be unique.
The Ignition Orange Sport is loud and shouty with its orange paint and black stripes. The Black Sport goes the "murdered out" route. Both vehicles will come with a HEMI V8 good for 395 horsepower, dual exhaust system and 20-inch wheels. In addition, you can have either editions with 4x2 or 4x4 drivetrains.
Production starts in April and the price to sport up your RAM 1500 is an additional $1,595 on top of the $41,020* for a 4x2 Crew Cab. Only 1,000 units for each limited edition are to be built.
*This price does NOT include title, taxes or fees
