Ram Truck unveiled updates to two of its leading model lines; the 2017 Ram 1500 Rebel and Ram Limited.
For 2017, Ram will add a seventh color option for the brand’s 1500 off-road model. The Ram Rebel 1500 Delmonico Red joins Bright Silver Metallic, Bright White, Brilliant Black, Flame Red, Granite Crystal Metallic and Mojave Sand.
Ram also announced that the most premium members of the Ram pickup truck lineup -- Ram Limited models -- will be available with new body-colored R-A-M tailgate letters and side steps, replacing chrome tailgate letters and side steps.
“Truck buyers are looking for new colors and features that make a statement and allow them to stand out from the crowd,” said Mike Manley, head of Ram Truck, FCA – Global. “Whether it’s the off-road enthusiast appeal of the Ram 1500 Rebel or the luxury and sophistication of the Ram Limited, Ram trucks deliver features and durability that are winning over more and more owners.”

The deep red exterior color is available in all Rebel models and two-tone (black lower panels) or monotone paint treatments.
