FAST RESPONSE: 2023 Ram 1500 ‘Built To Serve’ EMS Edition Arrives In Canada

Latest Installment Of The 'Built To Serve' Series Awaits Canadians...

After just a couple of days of learning that Ram’s second installment of its ‘Built To Serve’ first-responder series had reached dealers in the States, we now are seeing them appear across Canada. The 2023 Ram 1500 ‘Built To Serve’ limited edition is a follow-up to last year’s model honoring firefighters.

The latest model honors the frontline heroes who provide emergency medical services (EMS) and save lives every day.

Continuing the ‘Built To Serve’ limited edition formula, the 2023 Ram 1500 ‘Built To Serve’ EMS is based on the Big Horn trim and will be available in two color options. Those color options this time will be Hydro Blue and Bright White, representing the ‘Star of Life’.

‘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-color 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.
