A couple of years back, Kia enticed the automotive world with its sport-tastic GT4 Stinger concept. Almost 30 years ago, GM utterly befuddled everyone with the Pontiac Stinger concept, which featured, among other things, a pair of Dustbusters and a garden hose. A garden hose! Chevy, of course, offered the classic “stinger” hood on its third-generation Corvettes, and Mopar? Now Mopar has jumped into the venomous fray with a large yellow pickup.

If you were shopping for a new Ram and wanted a yellow example, you were limited to the Lone Star State-only Yellow Rose of Texas edition. But now, if a crew-cab Ram 1500‘s your bag and have $43,340 burning a hole in your dungarees, the new limited-edition Stinger Yellow Ram 1500 Sport can be yours. Hitting Ram outlets right about now, the vespid-themed pickup is available as either a 4×4 or 4×2, both carrying a 395-hp 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 backed by an eight-speed transmission.

Four-wheel-drive models ride on 20-inch wheels, while RWD trucks get a set of baller-tastic 22s. Dual chrome-tipped pipes are part of the deal, as is the Challenger-esque vented sport hood. Inside, the black cabin features dark-chrome and yellow accents, including body-color stitching. Uconnect with navigation and a rear-vew camera are also standard equipment.
