On November 10, 2024, the Season 5 Part 2 premiere of Yellowstone aired. In the year since (2025), Paramount+’s successful television series continues to enthrall viewers with its intriguing storyline and gripping characters, including the imposing John Dutton, a Montana cattle rancher who oversees the largest continuous cattle ranch in America. With its hard-earned respect, unruly partnerships, scarred egos, and unsolved murders, the show’s setting is regularly at odds with its surroundings: an Indian reservation, an expanding city, and the nation’s first national park.

What Vehicles Do They Drive in Yellowstone?

“The Duttons are very wealthy. A lot of the pickups and trailers that are featured are top-of-the-line, like Ram Trucks and Bloomer Trailers. There are some ranches that are investor-owned that have access to those types of things.”

–Jessie Jarvis, third-generation rancher

From the Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty trucks employed by the ranch to the Dodge Charger midsize cars utilized by the local police, and even Jamie Dutton’s Durango, the vehicles depicted in the series pay homage to the Chrysler Group’s expertise in mass marketing. Indeed, not only does Yellowstone feature rugged and assertive cowboys, but also their brawny pickups.

For example, John Dutton’s personal truck is a 2013 Ram Heavy Duty 3500 Laramie Crew Cab.

Ranch trucks like a 2017 Ram Heavy Duty 2500 and a 2014 Ram Heavy Duty 2500 also make their mark. Not to mention, the Ram pickup trucks on the show demonstrate how enduring and capable Ram ranch trucks are.

One pickup that’s weathered countless storms is a 1998 Dodge Ram, while a 1994 Dodge Ram truck can be spotted completing ranch tasks from time to time.

What Car Does Beth Dutton Drive?

Beth Dutton is the ultimate “Black Hat.”

She frequently pilots high-performance, luxury sedans that underline her uncompromising nature. Here’s a season-by-season breakdown of the primary vehicles Beth drives on-screen, with the headline specs and MSRPs so you can see exactly how her taste evolved.

• Season 3/Episodes 1, 2 & 7: 2020 Mercedes-AMG E63 S (Black-Edition style)

Beth’s go-to early on is the AMG E63 S: a brutal luxury sedan packing a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine, 603 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque, all-wheel drive, and lightning-fast shifts — basically a pocket supercar wearing business attire. New-car pricing for the E63 S landed in the low six-figure range, with an approximate MSRP of $108,345. This ride matches Beth’s razor-sharp edge and quick temper.

• Season 4/Episodes 1-8 & 10: 2021 Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe

In Season 4, Beth levels up into an S-Class AMG coupe — heavier on presence and presence = power. The S63 coupe shares AMG’s handcrafted 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 mill (about 603 horsepower; higher torque figures around 664 pound-feet in AMG tune), and carried an original MSRP in the $173,000–$175,000 neighborhood depending on trim and options. It’s a statement: more luxe, more menace, same lethal attitude.

• Season 5/Episodes 2, 3, 5 & 8: 2022 Bentley Continental GT (Coupe)

By Season 5, Beth shows up in a Bentley Continental GT coupe — the V-8 Continental produces roughly 542 horsepower (4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 powertrain), and the model’s starting MSRP sits around $205,225 for certain trims. The Bentley’s handcrafted luxury and hush-that-speaks-loudly vibe underscore Beth’s elevated status and the show’s escalating stakes.

There’s a practical side to Beth’s choice worth noting. Exotic European performance cars demand specialized maintenance and high-quality fuel — a challenge in remote regions. That reality underscores a theme: ranching at scale is a hybrid business. It requires both boot-on-dirt equipment and polished tools for the boardroom. Beth’s Bentley or Mercedes vehicles are shorthand for that duality.

Yellowstone Vehicles for Enthusiasts

The series’ triumph sparked growing recognition and appreciation for the automotive industry that drives it.

The vehicles have developed into celebrities in their own right. Notably, diecast collectors and enthusiasts can now purchase a line of 1:64-scale models of some of the most emblematic automobiles seen in Yellowstone. 

Among the four primary “Hollywood” diecasts promoted for the show, two memorable models include John Dutton’s Ram 3500 Dually pickup truck and the 2011 Dodge Charger Pursuit, consistently wielded by the Yellowstone County Sheriff’s Department. The most noteworthy aspect of the diecast models is the incredible degree of detail that’s gone into their creation. The Dutton Ram, for example, boasts an eye-catching bed rack and push bar that precisely reflect the pickup’s actual characteristics.
