While spring is just around the corner
even in the coldest parts of North America, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles decided
it’s a good time to release a snow plow pack. Presented at the National Truck
Equipment Association’s ‘The Work Truck Show’ in Indianapolis, Indiana, it’s an
option available for the 2021 Ram 1500. The plow can be equipped to the
Tradesman, Big Horn and Laramie 4×4 models, powered by the 5.7-liter HEMI V8,
5.7-liter HEMI e-Torque V8 or 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6.
Priced at $195, the Snow Plow Prep package
includes the 220-amp alternator, truck-side plow wiring harness and rear
power-sliding window with defroster. Mind you, adding this option will remove
the active air dam. Furthermore, Ram will be charging customers separately for
the actual plow, as well as the mounts and controller. All parts will become
available later this year.
The 2020 Ram 1500 is offered in the
Limited, Laramie Longhorn, Rebel, Laramie, Big Horn and Tradesman trim levels.
For the base model, you’re looking at a minimum of US$ 33,145, while the Ram 1500
Classic starts at US$ 27,645. The bigger 2500 and 3500 are listed from US$ 33,645 and US$ 35,095, respectively, and the Chassis Cab at $35,000.
