Ram Truck unveiled a new Ram 1500 Limited Black Edition and Heavy Duty Big Horn and Laramie Night Editions at the State Fair of Texas.
These new models will offer truck buyers an even wider selection of exterior appointments and content for even greater personalization, according to Ram.
Ram 1500 is taking the premium Limited model to new heights with the introduction of the Ram 1500 Limited Black Edition, adding even more comfort, technology, and refinement.
"Along with increasing capability, technology and efficiency, Ram is always looking for ways to create more comfort and refinement for our customers. The new Limited Black Edition is another example of how we deliver the most luxurious pickups in the industry," said Reid Bigland, Head of Ram Brand. "Additionally, the new Heavy Duty Big Horn and Laramie Night Editions now offer an even wider selection of personalized content."
The 2020 Ram 1500 Limited Black Edition features black accents, including a grille with R-A-M letters, badging, tow hooks, exhaust, premium LED headlamps, grille surround, bumpers, door handles, and side-view mirrors.
Other standard features on the Limited Black Edition include 22-inch black wheels, tonneau cover and sport performance hood. The Ram 1500 Limited Black is available in both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations and with the 3.0L V-6 EcoDiesel, 5.7L HEMI V-8, and 3.6L Pentastar V-6 engine with eTorque.
The Ram 1500 Limited Black Edition has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $53,690.
The Ram Heavy Duty Night Editions, available on Big Horn and Laramie models, also join the lineup for 2020 and include a monochromatic design enhanced by a black grille with body-colored surround, black badging and black 20-inch wheels.
For the first time, Ram Heavy Duty trucks equipped with dual rear wheels now get 17-inch black wheels with machined pockets. The headlamps and taillights feature dark bezels.
The Ram Heavy Duty Night Edition is available on Ram 2500 and 3500 4x2 and 4x4 Crew Cabs and Mega Cabs with a choice of 6.4L HEMI V-8 or 6.7L Cummins I-6 featuring the highest available torque at 1,000 lb.-ft.

Options and upgrades available on Ram trucks include the lighted and lockable RamBox cargo management system with adjustable tie-down cleats and bed divider, and the Multifunction Tailgate.
Ram 1500 features a link-coil suspension for the segment’s best ride and handling, and is also available with an exclusive four-corner air suspension system with five different ride heights (off-road 1, off-road 2, normal, aero and entry/exit).
The Ram 2500 link-coil suspension delivers the industry’s best ride and handling, and can be enhanced with the addition of an optional rear air suspension system with two driver-selectable ride heights and load-leveling feature.
Ram 3500 also offers the industry’s only supplemental rear air bag system with Hotchkiss leaf springs.
