RAM has long been one of the industry leaders in the pickup truck segment. Among its various models, the RAM 1500 has stood out as a popular choice due to its advanced features that make driving and towing more convenient. Further adding to its appeal, RAM also introduced a 1500 variant with an optional design package—the Night Edition, which features bold exterior and premium interior finishes, making it an attractive option for truck buyers.

Available models
The RAM 1500 Night Edition is available in four different options. One can either purchase the truck with a Night Edition Value Package or a Night Edition Value Package Plus.

Features
1. Exterior and interior design
The most striking feature of the RAM 1500 Night Edition models is its stunning exterior and interior design. In terms of exterior, the Night Edition trucks feature signature black elements. These include all-black accents for exterior badging, dual exhaust tips, grille and grille badging, headlamp bezels, taillamp bezels, and exterior mirror caps. Apart from this, the truck comes equipped with 20-inch aluminum wheels, which are painted black. Besides these elements, the Night Edition also features deluxe black cloth seats in its interiors, which perfectly complements the exterior look. The interior also features a 12-inch touchscreen, replacing the standard 8.4-inch variant.

2. Powerful performance
For a Night Edition truck, one can choose between two dynamic and robust engine options. So, regardless of which RAM 1500 Night Edition package or truck one chooses, one can be assured of a powerful and smooth performance. Among the two engine choices, the first is a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 engine with eTorque. This engine can deliver a maximum of 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of maximum torque. With such power, the engine offers a maximum towing capacity of 8,100 pounds.

The second engine choice is the 3-litre Hurricane I6 option. This engine takes the power delivery up a notch, offering a maximum of 420 horsepower and a maximum torque of 469 pound-feet. Owing to such power, the engine can tow up to 11,560 pounds.

3. Configurable driving mode
One of the best features that one can get in the RAM 1500 trucks, including the Night Edition variants, is the configurable driving mode. As a part of this feature, the truck comes equipped with different performance styles to adapt to different driving conditions. These include off-roading, towing, sport mode, snow terrain driving, and normal driving mode. So, based on their terrain and driving requirements, one can choose an appropriate configuration. Accordingly, the truck will adjust and optimize its performance. For instance, if one selects off-roading mode, the truck will adjust its suspensions in a way that allows it to handle uneven terrains better.

4. Driver assist and safety features
The RAM 1500 Night Edition trucks are packed with some of the most advanced driver-assist and safety features, making the driving experience much safer and more comfortable. One of the best driver-assist features that the truck can include is the hands-free active driving assistance. When activated, this feature can help the truck maintain a preset speed as well as a safe distance from the surrounding vehicles. It can also help the truck drive in the chosen lane. This feature can be especially useful when driving on a highway. Along with this, the truck includes features such as parking assistance, a collision avoidance system, a drowsy driver detection system, and a traffic sign recognition system. Further contributing to safety, the RAM 1500 also comes with a swift evasion system, which can quickly steer the truck to safety when it detects a possible collision with the vehicle ahead.

5. Features for convenience
The RAM 1500 Night Edition offers multiple attributes that improve convenience for drivers. Among them, the first is a remote keyless entry system, which allows the driver to open the door without having to fumble for the keys. Besides this, the truck can be equipped with power-adjustable seats for the driver, making journeys even more comfortable and enjoyable.

Pricing
Given the array of features and the stunning design it offers, the RAM 1500 Night Edition is priced quite reasonably. The starting price for the Night Edition Value Package, as set by the manufacturer, is around $68,000. For the Value Package Plus, the starting price suggested by the manufacturer is around $72,000. This price can change based on the colour one chooses for the exterior and the extra features and equipment one gets. Besides that, one may also expect the price to vary between dealers since they may not follow the prices suggested by the manufacturers.
