Ram 1500 offers ‘Night’ package

Night adds blackedout features, including wheels, grille and badging

For 2017, Ram introduces a new special-edition Night package for the 1500 model that gives truck enthusiasts straight-from-the-factory customized looks.

Based on the Sport model, Night adds blacked-out features, including wheels, grille and badging, to pump up the already bold visual presence of the Ram’s monochromatic performance package.

The Ram 1500 Night starts with key Sport appearance cues, including body-color fascia and body-color rear bumper with dual chrome exhaust tips, bodycolor power-folding mirrors and door handles. Also adopted from the Sport are black-bezel bi-functional projector headlamps with LED marker lights and black-bezel tail lamps to match forward lighting.

The Night package is available on Regular Cab, Quad Cab and Crew Cab 1500 Sport models, in both 2WD and 4WD, long and short bed lengths and with a choice of V-6 or HEMI V-8 engines.

A list of options and upgrades are available on Night editions, including the lighted and lockable RamBox cargo management system with adjustable tie-down cleats and dual-purpose bed extender/divider, Sport performance hood and Black running boards.

Mopar performance parts options include a cat-back exhaust and cold-air intake. The 1500’s link-coil suspension can be enhanced with the addition of an optional Active-Level Four-Corner Air Suspension System with multiple driver-selectable ride heights and load leveling features.

The 2017 Ram 1500 features fuel-saving systems, including first-in-segment technologies such as thermal management system, pulse-width modulation and active aerodynamics, including grille shutters and air suspension.

Ram engine options include: 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine, featuring 240 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque; 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with 305 horsepower and 269 lb.-ft. of torque; 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 with 395 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft. of torque.
