Based on customer demand, the Ram Truck brand has announced that it will add a “National Fire Safety Lime Yellow” paint option to 2011 Ram commercial trucks, including 2500/3500 Heavy Duty pickups and 3500/4500/5500 Chassis Cab trucks. The color, part of the Company’s low-volume paint program, is commonly used on emergency and other government agency vehicles, and is available for immediate order.

“Commercial truck buyers are at the center of our business,” said Ram Truck Brand President and CEO Fred Diaz. “To be successful in this business, you have to listen to your buyers. Emergency vehicles provide a vital community service. That’s why Ram Trucks offer proven, reliable, durable products that meet the needs of the municipalities that rely on them. Not only are Ram Trucks hard workers, but because our customers asked for a high degree of personalization, they’re also available in thousands of configurations to meet a wide range of uses.”

Ram Truck manufacturing operations can fulfill special paint orders with a minimum batch size of 10 trucks, although any one customer may order as few as a single vehicle (including National Fire Safety Yellow).
