Known for its strong off-road capabilities, spacious and luxurious cabin, and sturdy build quality, the  RAM 1500 is one of the bestselling trucks in its segment. Besides these, the automobile boasts a long list of features, safety equipment, optional extras, and incredible versatility. Its formidable and eye-catching design further contributes to its success. For potential buyers interested in a more striking design, the makers offer an optional “RAM Night Edition” package.

External design
The RAM night edition is a special design configuration of the truck. Buyers can opt for RAM 1500 models like the Laramie, Rebel, Big Horn, Limited, and Tradesman in this special “night edition” package.

As the name implies, the RAM Night Edition has a dark design theme. Blacked-out accents, blacked-out wheels, and even jet-black RAM badging are the highlights of this truck’s design. One can pick from eight monotone body colors for the vehicle. The body colors available are Billet Silver Metallic, Bright White, Delmonico Red Pearl Coat, Maximum Steel Metallic, Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat, Granite Crystal Metallic, Patriot Blue Pearl Coat, and Flame Red. The contrast between those colors and the all-black grille, headlamp bezels, badge, exhaust pipe, wing mirrors, and door pillars makes the RAM 1500 Night Edition stand out on any type of road.

Cabin quality and space
For buyers selecting the Night Edition package, the dark theme extends into the RAM 1500’s cabin. All trims have jet-black seats, an all-black dashboard, a jet-black steering wheel, doors, and other darkened panels. The Lamarie, Rebel, and Limited variants of the RAM Night Edition come with leather-trimmed black bucket seats, while the Big Horn variant comes with deluxe black cloth bucket seats. The Tradesman variant comes with the option of 40/20/40 split cloth bench seating.

For the occupants, the cabin is incredibly spacious. Both rows of seats come with ample headroom (40.9 inches in the front seats; 39.8 inches in the rear seats), leg room (40.9 inches, 45.2 inches), shoulder room (66 inches, 65.7 inches), and hip room (63.4 inches, 63.4 inches). Apart from the seating space, the cabin also comes with many cubby holes, drawers, and pockets to store small objects like mobile phones and water bottles.

Engine and performance
As most features of the Ram 1500 Night Edition are centered around its aesthetics, buyers can choose from the same engine options as a conventional RAM 1500 when they buy this special configuration of the truck. The many variants of the RAM 1500 Night Edition can be purchased with one of two engine options. The base engine is a 3.6-liter V6 powertrain that makes 305 hp and 269 pound-feet of torque. The second option is a massive 5.7-liter Hemi V8 eTorque engine that produces 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. These powerful engines guarantee effortless acceleration and incredible road towing strength. The engines come with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Buyers could choose from 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive options.

Both engines make the truck easy to drive. The 6-cylinder engine returns 20 mpg on city roads and about 25 mpg on the highway, bringing the combined mileage to 22 mpg. The 8-cylinder engine returns about 18 mpg on city roads and about 23 mpg on the highway, bringing its combined fuel consumption to 20 mpg. Both these engines are mild hybrids offering a good range (partly because of the vehicle’s large 26-gallon fuel tank) when fully loaded.

Ride and handling
The RAM 1500 is not meant to be a sporty handler around sharp corners. Even then, one can consider its handling to be stable on most road surfaces. The cornering in this vehicle is safe and steady. The coil spring suspension provides the RAM Night models with smooth ride quality. Occupants will not feel most bumps and undulations on the road as the suspension does a good job of filtering them out. As expected, the truck handles off-road situations well because of its suspension, tires, and overall drivetrain system. Owners can continue powering through broken tarmac, rocky terrain, and badly built road surfaces effortlessly with the RAM Night Edition.

Infotainment and technology
The RAM 1500 Night Edition comes with several technology specs and optional extras. The top-end variant comes with a large 12.0-inch infotainment display, a multi-speaker sound system, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay connectivity, two one-touch power windows, hands-free entry, heated mirrors, rearview camera, cruise control, dual-zone front climate control, interior air filtration, a leather steering wheel, transmission, audio controls on the steering wheel, and more.

Safety equipment
The Night Edition models come with a long list of safety equipment that keeps occupants safe and secure during accidents. Some safety features to watch out for include collision alert, dual front side-mounted airbags, passenger airbag occupant sensing deactivation, stability control, traction control, child seat anchors, 4-wheel ABS (anti-lock braking system), a brake drying functionality, disc brakes on all the wheels of the truck, a tire pressure monitoring system, LED headlamps, dusk sensing headlamps, daytime running lights, adjustable seats and seatbelts for enhanced safety, a remote anti-theft alarm system, and many more.

RAM 1500 Night edition cost
The price of this vehicle tends to vary depending on the changing market trends. On average, the pricing can range between $74,588 and $81,899. Due to these dynamic prices, potential buyers may benefit from closely watching the market trends to make a timely purchase and save significantly.
