Ram Will Send The New 2023 Ram 1500 ‘Built To Serve’ EMS Edition To Canada Too!

Ram Canada has announced that the second installment of its ‘Built To Serve’ first-responder series will also be reaching the “Great White North”. The new Emergency Medical Services (EMS) ‘Built To Serve’ model is a follow-up to the model honoring firefighters, released earlier this year. 

The latest model honours the frontline heroes who provide emergency medical services and save lives every day.

Following the ‘Built To Serve’ special edition formula, the 2023 Ram 1500 Big Horn ‘Built To Serve’ EMS Edition will be available in two color options (Hydro Blue and Bright White).

“Built To Serve” trucks get additional stylish exterior cues, including a unique treatment consisting of an all-black grille and surround, black bumpers, black-bezel premium lighting, and 20-inch aluminum wheels with a unique-to-the-edition Technical Grey finish. Body-colour wheel flares also accent the exterior.  

Complementing the look are black badges, black wheel-to-wheel side steps, and dual four-inch black exhaust tips.

Inside, the “Built To Serve” Ram trucks represent each of the three main emergency services, accented with unique, corresponding color stitching. The second installment of the second phase of “Built To Serve” trucks offers Blue accent stitching.

These new Ram models are also ready to display their owner’s first responder pride with “Built To Serve”-embroidered Velcro panels on each front seat and additional Velcro panels on each front seat inboard shoulder panel. Customers can apply their own patches – flags, name tapes, or slogans – to personalize their “Built To Serve” truck. Front seatback panels are covered with Pouch Attachment Ladder System/Modular Lightweight Load-bearing Equipment (PALS/MOLLE) webbing to attach additional equipment or pouches.
