The Ram 1500 and Ram heavy-duty pickups will add new appearance and feature packages for the 2020 model-year.

"Buyers demand a good-looking truck with easy-to-use features. They often tell us that their Ram trucks are an extension of their personality and want to stand out from the crowd," said Reid Bigland, head of the Ram brand. "Whether it's the off-road-enthusiast appeal of the Ram 1500 Rebel, the stylish Night editions or greater usability for the most powerful, most capable heavy-duty trucks, Ram trucks deliver features and durability that are winning over more and more buyers."
