What does the 2020 RAM Truck Have to Offer?

Ram Trucks have made a name for themselves for decades, always pushing the limits and never truly being ‘normal’. Innovation over emulation has been their own standard and the 2020 Ram 1500 Truck line-up is no exception. Yes, awards and accolades abound, including U.S. News ‘Best Truck Brand’ for 2020, the IIHS ‘Top Safety Pick’ for 2020, and the Consumer Guide’s 2020 Best Buy (making it 12 years in a row). Going beyond the applause & fanfare, the best way to know how & why is to just hit the throttle and go for it. Let’s dive in.

Exterior

First impressions of the New 2020 Ram 1500 Truck Series is a design where form more than compliments function. The hood , LED headlamps and grill are sculpted to be sleek while making the statement of being more predator rather than prey. Work is definitely in this trucks pedigree, but the body panels and lines flex a sporty stance with a seasoned, business mindset. Whether rolling on standard 18-inch alloy wheels or 22-inch Premium Painted/Polished Wheels, this beast is a beauty when simply standing still. A wide range of exterior colors, accents and trim packages range from the patriotic ‘Built to Serve’ Edition (honoring US Armed Services), to the ‘bling’ of the Southwest Edition (chrome a plenty, available only in certain states), Night or Black Editions (both made for nocturnal activities), to the Rebel Edition where everyone on the planet KNOWS a Ram 1500 Truck is on the scene.
