In today’s digest of strange special editions absolutely no one asked for, American manufacturer Ram Trucks has created two ‘Lunar-themed’ variations of its popular pickup: one based on the ‘Power Wagon’ and the other the ‘Rebel Heavy Duty.’ Apparently, their exterior designs ‘align’ with the colors found on the surface of the moon. So they’re...gray?
Let’s start with what changes the two share, which include that ceramic paint coat and gloss-black lunar vinyls. There’s also some new body-color badges, fancier lights at both ends, and 33-inch tires at each corner. No mention if any of this lot gets affected by a lunar eclipse.
Inside, the lunar pack brings Surf Blue stitching upon black leather upholstery, while twill film accents sit across the door, the instrument cluster, and the center console. You’ll also get a bespoke metal badge with the corresponding car model’s name lettered in chrome along said console. Nice touch.

Now for the differences: the Power Wagon Lunar Edition will get 17-inch alloys, a lift kit, and a 6.4-liter Hemi V8. There’s also locking differentials at both axles and a sway bar disconnect, which allows the beefy suspension to complete its exercises a bit easier. The all-important numbers sit at 404hp, 577Nm, and a towing capacity of 4.8 tons.
Mighty. But not quite as mighty as the Rebel Heavy Duty Lunar Edition, which bumps the same metric up to a frankly ridiculous 7.6 tons. That’s thanks to a bigger 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel engine, which sacrifices a bit of power (now 365hp) for a lot more torque (1,151Nm). It’s probably powerful enough to tow and steal the moon itself if you so wished.
Both cars will be available for order beginning October, with the Power Wagon Lunar Edition starting at $75,205 (around P4.24 million before taxes) and the Rebel Heavy Duty Lunar Edition costing another $10,000 on top (an additional P563,000).
