Kentucky Derby Edition

Here's a listing I found for a Kentucky Derby Edition. Looks like the only difference is literally the sticker on the back. Seems silly to me.

Ram is the official truck of the Derby. Seems the decal and the painted bumpers is all they really did to it.

They are limited edition though.

Kinda like the pace truck for racing...nothing really special to everyone, but to some it makes it important to them.

And it's an expensive sticker since body colored bumpers are no charge.

That might not seem like much, but the Kentucky Derby Edition is based on the Ram 1500's top Limited trim, so it packs a boatload of equipment. It gets Ram's impressive 12-inch vertical touchscreen, air suspension, power-operated running boards, blind-spot monitoring and a trailer hitch. The interior has full leather seats with both heating and ventilation, as well as genuine wood and metal trim.
If you want to pick one up, you can head on down to a dealership because they're already on sale. However, only 2,000 will be made available, so you might want to act fast. It comes in at $53,190 before a $1,645 destination charge, which, according to Ram's consumer site, is actually less expensive than a standard Ram 1500 Limited. Hmm.

Taken from a CNET article. There is a special white for the edition.

Just something special for people who like horses or horse racing

and a marketing ploy for being the official truck.
