2026 RAM 1500 Express

The Ram 1500 is a full-size pickup that pairs genuine work capability with a cabin that feels more upscale than most rivals. Its main competitors are the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Toyota Tundra. The steering is precise for a truck this size, and the available air suspension smooths out rough pavement impressively. The cabin is roomy and quiet, with a large touchscreen and comfortable seats that make long hauls easy. The Express trim gives you a 4WD drivetrain and the 5.7L V8 as standard, skipping some of the chrome and convenience options you'd get on a Big Horn. Under the hood is the 5.7L V8 with eTorque, paired to an automatic transmission and two-wheel drive, which gives you strong off-the-line pull and 19 mpg combined. This Express comes with the 3.21 rear axle ratio, which favors fuel economy over maximum towing capacity compared to the 3.92 available on other trims.
