eBay Find: 2014 Ram 2500 “Seahawks Edition”

01_edited-1Sports fans can be fanatical, and when they have money to burn sometimes they make some decisions we question. Should I get that new big-screen or go without water this month? … Well there is a drought and beer is cheap, bigscreen. With this frightening hypothetical in mind we stumbled across this truck. The origin of this 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 is unclear, was it a custom project by a wealthy owner, or a dealership special to attract the locals. Located in Washington state, where the Seahawks call home, this truck has been maxed out for the football/diesel fanatic.

s-l1600-2The price tag of $63,999 buy it now is hard to figure. The amount of labor and aftermarket tweaking this truck received does not seem to match up with the asking number. Our consensus is that the sellers realize that they created a really cool, but really specific custom rig. Finding a buyer who loves his or her team with the dedication to shell out over 60 grand of their cash, to display that loyalty may be hard to find.

For all intents and purposes this truck is brand new, the ad reports 2,257 miles on the odometer. So whoever commissioned this extensive build planned it from the start. The original paint color of gray is scarcely visible under the vibrant neon-green wrap. Emblazoned with Seahawks logos down the flanks, and #12 motifs exposed by mock-talon-tears through the hood.

The Seattle Seahawks fanaticism is everywhere on this truck. An aluminum plate grille ornament, a vinyl reminder on the passenger side rear fender asserts “Super Bowl XLVIII Champions,” and interior seat-stitching make sure you don’t miss the point.

The 6.6-liter inline-six-cylinder Cummins Turbodiesel engine remains stock, or otherwise unmentioned. From Dodge this powerplant produces 370 horsepower, and 800 lb-ft of torque. Plenty to get the grill, and cooler to the tailgate party. The four-wheel drive system and crew-cab layout mean that this truck can transport you and you friends comfortably, and over some serious terrain, or just across the parking lot.

VisionX LED lighting systems are spread throughout the truck, including a blue LED curved light bar over the windshield. A remote control allows the driver to control his mood lighting from a distance.15

The under-cab modifications and color coordination are what really make this Ram stand out. Powdercoated to match are the springs, swaybars, and suspension links. Lime green finish means that the wrap and mechanical components make for a complimentary combination.

Bumpers from Iron Cross, a rail interface system exhaust tip from Sinister Diesel, and a winch add touches that show this was not a build just to flip, but reflect personal aesthetic choices made by the designer. Fuel Wheels wrapped in Toyo tires keep the aggressive look going from head to toe. Definitely not a low-profile ride, this truck is for the exhibitionist, someone out there probably think this the best thing ever, but flash over function is a superficial high, a few performance modifications, and this truck would be up there with show truck of the highest level.
