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.

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.
