2020 Ram Heavy Duty Limited Black Edition Embraces The Blackout Trend

The blackout trend continues as Ram has introduced the 2020 Heavy Duty Limited Black Edition.

Billed as a “sophisticated, monochromatic appearance package that appeals to a significant segment of luxury truck buyers,” the model has a black grille, black door handles and black headlight bezels.

The dark theme continues elsewhere as there are black mirrors, matte black badges and black aluminum wheels. Speaking of the latter, the wheels measure 20-inches on standard models and 17-inches on duallies.

There doesn’t appear to be any interior changes, but the range-topping Limited trim comes nicely equipped with heated / ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and a 12-inch Uconnect infotainment system.
