2012 Ram 1500 Express Model

Ram Express popularity leads to expansion of the model to Crew Cab and Quad Cab®

The Ram 1500 Express Lineup targets first-time buyers by delivering great looks and HEMI® V-8 performance

The Ram Truck brand today announced that it would expand Ram 1500 Express model availability to include Crew Cab and Quad Cab® models, giving buyers an outstanding combination of value and performance among all Ram half-ton configurations.

The Ram 1500 Express previously was available in regular-cab models only.

The new Ram 1500 Express model offers buyers a standard HEMI V-8 engine with a 20 mpg rating for the same price competitors are charging for their V-6 engines.
