Chris Stapleton is ready to hit the road in a Ram pickup he helped design.
The Ram 2500 HD Traveller is a custom truck created for the country artist in conjunction with the “Chris Stapleton: Since 1978” exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.
Stapleton has been a Ram ambassador for several years.
“Our relationship with Chris Stapleton is special because he is not just a partner, we consider him to be a friend. He represents our shared values of hard work, determination, and perseverance,” Ram CEO Mike Koval Jr. said.

The Traveller was named after Stapleton’s first album and heavily inspired by the Ram Palomino of the 1970s and 1980s. It features a cream cashmere two-tone paint job with retro stripe graphics and tons of chrome.
The truck features a modern version of the classic Ram hood ornament.
