Ram 1500, the reigning Texas Auto Writers Association’s Truck of Texas, is taking the premium Limited model to new heights with the introduction of the Ram 1500 Limited Black Edition. The newest leader of Ram’s opulent offerings builds upon the luxurious Limited trim with 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 stands out, courtesy of the following black accents, including: grille with R-A-M letters, badging, tow hooks, exhaust, premium LED headlamps, grille surround, bumpers, door handles and side-view mirrors.
