Ram Releases New Lunar Edition Variants of the HD Power Wagon and Rebel
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.
