Over the years you’ve probably heard the expression “____ is the new black.” Here at Ram Trucks, we know black is the new black. That’s why we took a journey to the darker side of our personality to bring you the Ram 1500 Black Express, a truck with all the same great features you’ve come to expect from the standard Ram 1500 Express but with a bit of a sinister twist. Just behind the all-black grille and black ram’s head badge hides the confident roar of our 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 engine producing 395 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft.
A cowl hood gives the truck an aggressive look, and projector headlamps bring light to the darkness, allowing you to see farther down the road. Don’t worry, though—the blackout isn’t over yet. Twenty-inch black wheels extend the all-black theme and feature chrome center caps that help give the wheel a distinctive pop. Body color front and rear bumpers continue the wrapped-in-black feel with only vertical fog lamps and bright-tipped dual exhausts offering points of light in the darkness.
It’s not all about looks, though. Just like a professional athlete in a finely tailored tuxedo, the Ram 1500 Black Express performs as good as it looks, boasting a max towing payload of 10,350 lbs. and max hauling payload of 1,660 lbs. when properly equipped. Add 20 mpg highway fuel economy and you’ve got yourself a truck that will make everyone on your block jealous.
Embrace your dark side with the new 2013 Ram 1500 Black Express.
