Meet the 2026 Ram 1500 Express

The 2026 Ram 1500 Express offers a range of powerful engine options designed to meet diverse performance needs. Under the hood, the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with eTorque delivers 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque, offering a well-balanced combination of power and fuel efficiency. For drivers who demand even more capability, there's the available 3.0-liter Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six engine. This advanced powertrain comes in a Standard Output configuration, producing an impressive 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough muscle for demanding tasks and towing up to 11,550 pounds. Whether you prioritize everyday drivability or heavy-duty performance, the Ram 1500 Express delivers with confidence. Both engines come paired with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission driving either a standard rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive platform.

The 2026 RAM 1500 Express showcases a bold evolution in design, seamlessly blending rugged utility with modern sophistication. At the front, a redesigned grille and sculpted hood lines contribute to a more aerodynamic profile, enhancing both performance and fuel efficiency. The body features chiseled contours and a drawn character line that stretches from front to rear, creating a cohesive and dynamic appearance. LED headlights and taillights not only improve visibility but also add a modern flair to the truck's look. Meanwhile, the body-color front and rear bumpers create a sophisticated appearance. Rolling on standard 20-inch alloy wheels, the Express makes a statement wherever it goes. The 2026 Ram 1500 Express is available in Bright White, Diamond Black, Hydro Blue, Granite Crystal, and Forged Blue. Inside, you'll find a modern blend of advanced technologies and premium materials.

The 2026 RAM 1500 Express marks the return of the Black Express package, a fan-favorite that first debuted in 2013 and again in 2019, quickly becoming one of the most sought-after configurations in the RAM lineup. At its peak, the Black Express accounted for over 20% of RAM 1500 production, thanks to its aggressive styling and standout value. For the 2026 model year, the Black Express package is available on Quad and Crew Cab 4WD models. This edition features a sport performance hood, blacked-out 20-inch aluminum wheels, black badging, and side steps, all contributing to its bold, monochromatic look. LED fog lamps enhance visibility, while the interior receives upgrades like black cloth bucket seats, a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, and a floor-mounted center console. This package continues the tradition of offering a factory-customized, blacked-out aesthetic that appeals to drivers seeking a distinctive, assertive presence on the road.

The Express is set to make its grand return to the Ram 1500 lineup in the 2026 model year, and this comes as a welcome addition to Ram fans and truck enthusiasts alike!
