2017 Ram 1500 Night Package

For 2017, Ram will introduce 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.

"Much like our incredibly successful Ram Rebel, the Ram 1500 Night fills the growing customer demand for factory-custom trucks," said Mike Manley, Head of Ram Brand, FCA - Global. "Truck enthusiasts want vehicles that define their personality and style. The new Ram Night package builds upon the Ram Sport - one of the best looking trucks on the road - and adds black-out details that custom truck enthusiasts revere."

Ram first adopted the blacked-out badging look with the 2013 Ram 1500 Black Express package.
