The RAM 1500 Express Strikes Back at Lampe Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

Bold style meets smart value as the all‑new 2026 RAM 1500 Express rolls into Lampe Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in eye-catching finishes, including the fan‑favorite Diamond Black—plus four more stunning colors.

A Statement-Making Value Proposition

With a starting MSRP of $44,495 (including the $2,095 destination fee), the 2026 RAM 1500 Express offers exceptional content and attitude—priced between the basic Tradesman and Big Horn trims—yet loaded with premium features. Available in both Crew Cab and Quad Cab configurations, with rear‑ or four‑wheel drive, this truck truly blends capability and style.

Standard Features That Impress

The Express trim comes fully equipped with:

• 20‑inch wheels

• Gloss‑black bezel LED headlamps and body‑color bumpers

• A standard 305‑horsepower 3.6‑liter Pentastar V6 engine

• Advanced safety technologies like Adaptive Cruise Control and Automatic Emergency Braking

• An 8‑inch touchscreen infotainment system with interior accents finished in Liquid Graphite laser‑etched paint and Gridiron trim

For those who crave more power, an optional 420-horsepower 3.0-liter Hurricane twin‑turbo inline‑six engine is available for just $1,695 more—perfect for tougher towing needs or drivers who want more thrill behind the wheel.

Say Hello to Black Express

New for 2026, the Black Express package brings a more aggressive, performance-oriented appearance to the Express lineup. This package includes:

• A sport hood and black badging

• Black 20‑inch wheels

• LED fog lamps and black side steps

• An upgraded interior with black cloth bucket seats, a 7‑inch digital cluster, and a full-length center console

Priced at just $995, the Black Express package is available on both Quad Cab and Crew Cab 4WD models and is already turning heads on and off the lot.

Five Stunning Colorways

The RAM 1500 Express is offered in five striking paint finishes:

• Diamond Black

• Bright White

• Granite Crystal

• Forged Blue

• Hydro Blue

Diamond Black makes a powerful return, known for its sleek, monochromatic style that highlights the truck’s athletic build.

Built Where It Matters

Every RAM 1500 Express will be built in Michigan at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, with production starting in the third quarter of 2025. Pre-orders are now open, giving buyers early access to one of the boldest trucks in the segment.

Filling the Gap Left by the RAM 1500 Classic

After RAM phased out the 1500 Classic, the market lacked a budget-friendly, stylish full-size truck. The RAM 1500 Express fills that void, offering more style, more tech, and more customization options at a competitive price point. Positioned between the utilitarian Tradesman and the mid-range Big Horn, the Express gives buyers access to high-end features without stretching the budget.

Why Choose the RAM 1500 Express?

For value-conscious buyers, the RAM 1500 Express delivers standout styling—especially with the Black Express package—modern technology, and safety systems without a luxury-truck price tag. It also boasts a towing capacity of up to 11,550 pounds when equipped with the available Hurricane engine, making it as capable as it is good-looking.
