CHRYSLER GROUP FLEET
Exceptional work demands exceptional vehicles —
and the 2014 Ram Special Service vehicle meets the
need, thanks to formidable towing and hauling
capability, and the inclusion of the RamBox Cargo
Management System. Together, they give this Ram
exceptional clout, with the bulletproof 5.7L HEMI® V8,
upgraded alternator to 220 amps; special certified
instrument panel cluster, and much more. Class-exclusive
RamBox system includes two factory-installed
side cargo bins, bed extender/divider, and
adjustable cargo rails. The benchmark Electronic
Stability Control System(3) (ESC), standard, offers
impeccable handling, maneuvering, braking and
road manners, with top-tier capability when
trailering and hauling. This tough 4x4 comes in
ST or Tradesman trim levels, and is ideal for all
police, border and private security applications.
