If you liked the Black Express package Ram offers on its 1500 light-duty pickup but need the added capability of a Heavy Duty model, we've got good news for you.

This week at the Atlanta International Auto Show, the Ram truck brand is rolling out the Black package for the Ram HD 2500 and 3500 SRW. It features a sinister-looking exterior with 20-inch alloys, fog lamps, grille, front and rear bumpers and badges all blacked out. All the body-side badging has also been removed, unless you go for Cummins power, in which case you still get a chrome diesel badge on the side.

In correspondence with Autoblog, Ram spokesman Nick Cappa explained that the popularity of the Black edition light-duty truck was the impetus for the Heavy Duty edition you see here. "Ram has a reputation for going further on design and custom-looks from the factory," explained Cappa, pointing towards the Express, Sport and Longhorn editions. "This type of forward design-thinking led us to extend the aggressive appearance to the HD trucks, which in the past has been a bit more subtle."

Other upgrades included in the Ram Heavy Duty Black package include halogen projector headlamps with black bezels and 15 amber LEDs for the turn signals and three more for the side markets. The taillamps are also trimmed in black with an assortment of LEDs, and the Parkview and Parksense systems are included as well - all for prices starting at $42,140 (plus $1,195 destination). Scope out the details in the press release below.Continue reading Ram extends Black Package to Heavy Duty trucks
