Want to focus on capability without sacrificing comfort and tech? Consider special editions that match your style. Black Express brings 20-Inch Black Aluminum Wheels, Body Color Bumpers, All-Black Accents, a Sport Performance Hood, and Mopar® Black Tubular Side Steps, while Warlock leans into bold proportions and a confident stance. These trims complement a lineup designed to look sharp and work hard, with the durability to stand up to demanding towing schedules.
And when you’re choosing among trims, think about how you’ll use the truck most.
