Automakers might want you to believe their heavy-duty trucks are rugged enough to drive on the moon, but Ram is the only one to incorporate celestial bodies into its vehicle designs. The company recently announced new Ram HD Lunar Editions that bring moon-inspired color schemes and other touches that set them apart from the standard trucks.

Ram is releasing the Lunar Edition for the Power Wagon and Rebel trims. It includes a ceramic grey color, two-tone black side mirrors, and powder-coated body accents. CEO Chris Feuell said, “The new Lunar versions of Ram Power Wagon and Ram Rebel Heavy Duty build on our SportTruck leadership position. These two new special editions are built on proven sport truck platforms and offer added value with popular features, and design highlights that our customers will love.”

The package changes the trucks’ appearance but doesn’t modify performance in any way. The Power Wagon still comes standard with a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 making 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque, while the Rebel comes with a 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel making 370 horsepower and a massive 850 pounds of torque.

Ram noted that the HD trucks have “more off-road capability, better weight-to-gravity traction, power, and payload” than the real Lunar Rover. The automaker stated that the Rover’s only advantage is its ability to operate in a vacuum, but we’re guessing it gets better fuel economy, too.

Namesakeone It should be a name that evoques the wild west, that emphasizes the go-anywhere nature of how an SUV should be used. Something like a wild animal, maybe something like a horse. I've got it! How about . . . Mustang! Oh, wait. They already did that, didn't they?
Slavuta There Used to be Pontiac Trans Sport.... That "Trans Sport" part has a totally new meaning these days
210delray You need to change the headline -- it's a 2025 model.
Jeff How about Aspire for a new subcompact crossover from Ford because it aspires to be bigger and its buyers would aspire for a better vehicle if they could afford it.
Jeff Carlos Travares wants to cut costs by 1/3. I don't see Chrysler or Dodge surviving too much longer especially since they are being literally starved for product. The success of the new Charger could extend Dodge a few more years but a failure might be a quick end to Dodge. I could see Stellantis moving more manufacturing for Jeep and Ram to Mexico which I believe will eventually be the only surviving brands of the old Chrysler. As for the Durango if it continues it will not be for too many more years it is an outdated product that I doubt will be redesigned especially when Jeep has a comparable product. Stellantis needs to address the high dealer inventory level by giving better incentives and low interest rates to clear excessive inventory.
