Ram Trucks is debuting factory-custom Night editions of its HD 2500 and 3500 pickups and a new Copper Sport outfit for the 1500 half-ton at the 2017 Chicago Auto Show that kicks off Feb. 11.

"Truck enthusiasts look for ways to stand out from the crowd," stated Mike Manley, head of Ram Brand for FCA - Global. "The Ram Brand understands that."

Night edition Ram HD 2500, 3500

Based on Ram's monochromatic Sport appearance package, the Night edition adds, just as you'd think, a host of blacked-out features for those who prefer tough, flatter finishes to sparkle on their trucks.

The Night package is available on Ram 2500 and 3500 single-rear-wheel models only in Crew Cab configurations, 2WD or 4WD, and powertrain combos with 5.7L HEMI V8, 6.4L HEMI V8 or 6.7L Cummins I6. Production of the Night pickups began this month, and pricing starts at $45,520 plus $1,320 destination.

Copper Sport 1500

Ram also unveiled a new color for 1500 Sport-trim pickups: Copper Pearl. Ram says it will produce only 3,000 Copper Sport 1500 pickups, and the option will be offered for Crew Cab V8 models with a starting MSRP of $45,630 plus $1,320 destination. The trucks are slated to start arriving at dealerships in late February.

Aaron Marsh

Before computerization had fully taken hold and automotive work took someone who speaks engine, Aaron grew up in Upstate New York taking cars apart and fixing and rewiring them, keeping more than a few great jalopies (classics) on the road that probably didn't deserve to be. He spent a decade inside the Beltway covering Congress and the intricacies of the health care system before a stint in local New England news, picking up awards for both pen and camera.

He wrote about you-name-it, from transportation and law and the courts to events of all kinds and telecommunications, and landed in trucking when he joined FleetOwner in July 2015. Long an editorial leader, he was a keeper of knowledge at FleetOwner ready to dive in on the technical and the topical inside and all-around trucking—and still turned a wrench or two. Or three. 

Aaron previously wrote for FleetOwner.
