February 8, 2017 , CHICAGO – Ram is bringing big news – as in Heavy Duty news – to the 2017 Chicago Auto Show with new special-edition Night packages for Ram 2500 and 3500 HD pickups.

The new Night editions further expand the Ram factory-custom truck family from the half-ton Ram 1500 announced in September 2016 to the brand’s three-quarter and one-ton models.

Based on the monochromatic Sport appearance package, Night adds blacked-out features, including wheels, grille surround and badging, to deliver an eye-catching adaptation of the performance-enthusiast-oriented package.

“Truck enthusiasts look for ways to stand out from the crowd,” said Mike Manley, Head of Ram Brand, FCA – Global. “The Ram brand understands that it’s important to meet the demands and deliver outstanding, durable products to every type of truck buyer. From the Ram Sport, to the popular Rebel, to the ultimate off-road truck – the Ram Power Wagon – Ram is building the best trucks in the enthusiast segment.”

Production of the 2017 Ram HD Night models began early February 2017. Ram Heavy Duty Night pricing starts at $45,520, plus $1,320 destination.
