Ram launches the 1500 Rebel Black edition

Well, it only took five days for the first black-themed special edition of 2017 to appear. Ram is the guilty party, but doubtless many more manufacturers will adopt this time-worn tactic before the year is out.

Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox.
